The evolution of voice recognition takes the smart home to the next level

Voice recognition technologies are advancing in IoT devices, promising to transform the connected home. Since its inception in the 1950s, speech recognition has evolved, reaching remarkable accuracy in 2018 and accelerating due to the pandemic. There are expected to be 8 billion digital voice assistants in use by 2023, driving a market of $31.82 billion by 2025. These systems enable smart home automation beyond device management, incorporating emotion-based interaction and context, and opening possibilities for new uses.

How robotics is accelerating vertical farming

Vertical farms allow you to increase crop production in a sustainable and efficient way. Robotic technology and artificial intelligence are key in this process, optimizing everything from monitoring and sowing to harvest.

Industry 4.0: a close challenge for SMEs

Spanish SMEs, especially in the industrial sector, have low penetration of digitization and need to invest in technology and change their culture to maintain their competitiveness. The Plan to Promote the Digitization of SMEs 2021-2025 and the European Union funds for digital transformation seek to encourage the adoption of new technologies. SMEs often have a distant perception of Industry 4.0 and make mistakes by thinking that it only involves having a website and storing data in the cloud. To unlock the true potential of Industry 4.0, SMEs need a comprehensive mix of technologies and a holistic view, supported by technology partners and data experts.
