Robots for land and lunar exploration, AI systems to monitor large infrastructures and industries, more sustainable fuels, satellites to promote low-cost connectivity or applications to improve cybersecurity of companies; all of these are some of the 15 projects eligible for the Industry Solutions Awards 2025, which will be presented in May during the upcoming IOT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC), the global event in the transformation of the industry through the use of disruptive technologies.
With the aim of contributing to drive innovation in the digital transformation of the industry and recognising the most innovative and inspiring initiatives on the market, IOTSWC, which will run from 13-15 May at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via venue, is holding a new edition of the Industry Solutions Awards.
The jury of the awards, comprised of experts in the sector, selected proposals from Germany, Saudi Arabia, Australia, France, Iran, Spain and the United Kingdom in areas such as AI, cybersecurity, connectivity, sustainability and Industry 4.0 to contribute to the digital transformation of industry at a global level.
The AI category features the British firm MountAin, which has designed a critical infrastructure monitoring system using solar energy; the Saudi company Aramco, for the use of Generative AI in the control of industrial plants; and the Catalan company Omnios, for its data analysis system for all types of companies.
In the field of sustainability, meanwhile, candidates include the French company Algofait, which has designed a water optimisation system for seafood farming; Iran’s Mobile Communications company for a project deploying a platform to monitor the quality of cultivated land; and Spain’s Repsol, for its network of smart and connected service stations.
Finalists in Excellence for Industry 4.0 are the Catalan company Efizum, which has created a system of digital twins that can be implemented by small and medium-sized companies; the Catalan research centre i2Cat, for an analyser of security protocols; and the British oil company Castrol, which has launched a range of sustainable fuels with smart technologies.
In the connectivity category, the Catalan company TrueCold, for developing software to monitor the temperature of laboratories during the handling of pharmaceutical and health products; Australia’s Myriota, which has launched IOT satellites to improve low-cost, low-power 5G connectivity; and the German Imensus, which has built a robotic rover vehicle with sensors to generate 3D geological models.
Finally, in the field of cybersecurity, the finalists are the German Filancore, for its state-of-the-art IoT management platform that increases the life cycle of the device; Emnify, for its aviation IOT project with which pilots can access all flight data through tablets; and the Catalan i2Cat, for a proactive risk prevention system to avoid cyberattacks.
The Industry Solutions Awards will be announced on 14th May in the event’s auditorium, followed by a gala to which both exhibitors and visitors are invited.
