Cloud Solutions in industrial plants

There’s no turning back now. Digitization is a must for any company, and has become essential following the impact of the pandemic. Many companies have been forced to take the technological and digital plunge, adapting or even reinventing their business models to continue serving their customers remotely. This has made companies more vulnerable and more exposed to security breaches.

If we take a brief look back over previous industrial revolutions: mechanization (steam and coal), electricity (mass manufacturing, assembly line) and electronics and computing (automation thanks to information and communication technologies) we can see how these events caused cities and populations to develop, marking a turning point for economies and society as a whole.

Juan Ignacio Castro, a technology enthusiast with more than a decade of experience in aeronautical manufacturing, has been leading the digital transformation at Airbus’ Military Aircraft division. He has made it clear that the digital transformation implies an effort on everyone’s part: the company, the employees, and the suppliers. In order to adapt and stay competitive in the market, “It is important for the entire value chain to develop innovative products and services,” says Castro.
