Changing the robot paradigm, from automation to collaboration, is the goal of the PAL Robotics test bench. Current trends in collaborative robotics demand efforts in human-robot interaction that allow for the easy and safe handling of robots in the workshop. This test bench shows the teleoperation of the arm of the PAL Robotics TIAgo robot so that it can detect external disturbances such as obstacles.
Cybersecurity has become a key element of all companies and that is particularly true in several industries, such as healthcare and automotive. Irdeto will showcase the first healthcare-specific cybersecurity platform that combines on-device detection capabilities with a cloud platform that proactively identifies software vulnerabilities, manages the product lifecycle, and provides rapid mitigation measures. In the same way, the connected car also poses many challenges and, to emphasize the importance of hermetic safety, Siemens presents a simulation of vehicle piracy that presents several piracy scenarios, including the elimination of brakes, the modification of mileage and the remote control of vehicle functions. The reference event focused on the transformation of the industry through disruptive technologies organized by Fira de Barcelona in collaboration with Industry IOT Consortium® (IIC™) will be held at the venue from Gran Via to Fira de Barcelona from January 31 to February 2. The event will feature test benches that will show how the most advanced and innovative technologies will transform companies and how products are manufactured and services are provided.
Logistics and city
The city is the scene of two other test benches. Aqualia, FCC and Rigual present a solution based on Microsoft and Teltonika Digital Twins, IoT and XR to empower smart city service providers by digitalizing vehicles used in cleaning services to address the challenge of global sustainability and increase efficiency in resource consumption and service management. The CARNET mobility research center has also chosen last-mile logistics as the objective of its ONA solution. An autonomous hub vehicle that works with smaller autonomous delivery devices and a remote backend control center that manages communications, collects data, optimizes fleet operations and provides a fail-safe solution in complex situations. The latest logistics-focused test bench is Zariot's SmartAxiom, a logistics management solution that has Blockchain security directly integrated into the device and within the connectivity infrastructure, being the first solution protected by blockchain from the device to the cloud.
Manufacturing, Data and Sanitation
The last three test benches address different solutions in the manufacturing, energy, and food and beverage industries. Deloitte will present a predictive maintenance solution that uses sensors to capture data to optimize the operation of a robotic arm in a manufacturing plant. Data is also at the core of Engie's selected test bench focused on creating a data space based on open standards that allows data to be shared across the energy supply chain. The latest test bench included in the IOTSWC Testbed Area is an automated solution from Evowater Technology Company to periodically sanitize the ducts of beverage dispensers and reusable bottles, while providing information on consumption and beverage properties.
Alliance between industries
After the success of the first shared edition of IOTSWC and ISE in 2022, the two events have decided to continue with their shared location. In the first joint edition, the events explored the common ground between two different sets of disruptive technologies and the potential this offers to attendees and exhibitors. Thus, visitors will be able to access the exhibition areas of both events again at no additional cost, while IOTSWC delegates will receive a 50% discount if they wish to register for either ISE.
