💥 10 technological trends that Peruvian companies will implement

 

It is indisputable that technology continues to gain relevance in the lives of a greater number of people, through different solutions designed by organizations in search of fulfilling their objective of standing out in a highly competitive market.

This 2022, according to TechTarget, 53% of Peruvian companies and other Latin American countries will increase the budget for their IT area, while 42% will keep it the same, which tells us about the interest that persists in relying on the most innovative tools that will become a trend.

In this regard, Baufest, an international technology consultancy focused on people, analyzes the 10 technological trends that will reign this year and how companies will have to apply them so as not to lose opportunities or customers.

“These trends, which will have their applications in various areas, such as the automotive, health, manufacturing, public sector and even the aerospace industry, will generate strong implications in our lives, because they will revolutionize the ways of working, medical care centers and digital experiences, among other aspects. While companies will improve their speed and agility, in addition to reducing complexity and saving costs, which makes them already essential technologies”, explains Baufest CINO Adrián Lasso.

1.- Automation and virtualization of processes

With the goal of streamlining routine tasks, improving operational efficiency, and accelerating time to market, process automation and virtualization will advance to the next level by combining robotics, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), digital twins (digital twins) and 3-D or 4-D printing.

In such a way that, by this year, there will be 600,000 installations of industrial robots and 70% of manufacturers will use digital twins regularly, according to estimates by the international consulting firm McKinsey.

2- 5G network and Internet of things (IoT)

The transformation of telecommunications advances this year with the fifth generation wireless network, which will allow faster connectivity over longer distances, with exponentially faster downloads and almost non-existent latency. Therefore, the IoT and the 5G network will support the creation of new services and business models linked to smart products enabled by sensors; it will generate new offers to the value chain and will allow offering better experiences to customers.

3- Distributed infrastructures

In order for companies to be able to move computing power further to the edge of their networks, they will have to resort to the union of Cloud Computing with Edge Computing, which will allow them to reach devices that handle large amounts of data with much lower latency, in a greater number of remote locations and thus accelerate decision-making with advanced analytics.

4- Quantum and neuromorphic computing

The union of these technologies, under a new model, will help reduce the development time of chemical and pharmaceutical products with simulations; In addition, it will be key to accelerating the development of autonomous vehicles with quantum Artificial Intelligence (AI), and in the transformation of cybersecurity.

5- Applied Artificial Intelligence

This megatrend, which refers to the implementation of algorithms to train machines (so that they recognize patterns and interpret and act on them), promises to improve customer satisfaction through new interfaces and interaction methods; It is therefore not surprising that it is estimated that, by 2024, more than 50% of user interactions will be complemented by AI-powered vision algorithms.

6- Metaverse

The metaverse concept will gain more strength, after the announcement of Meta (by Mark Zuckerberg) of an investment of 10,000 million dollars in the next year alone. In fact, there are already those who anticipate that it will have an impact on society as big as the Internet.

7- Trusted architectures

Through a set of technologies and approaches designed for a world of cyberattacks, companies will seek to create architectures to verify the trustworthiness of devices as data flows through networks, APIs, and applications. In turn, they could include distributed ledger technologies (DLT), including blockchain, and “zero-trust security” approaches to prevent data breaches.

8- Bio revolution

The confluence of advances in biological science combined with the accelerated development of computation, process automation and AI is called the bio revolution and implies an expansion of human understanding of biological processes at the intracellular level and an increasing ability to design molecules and pathways. Its main impacts will be felt in the health sector, but also in agriculture, energy, consumer goods and materials.

9- New generation materials

Graphene and 2-D materials; molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles; Nanomaterials and other smarter, more sensitive and lighter materials that enable new functionality and optimal performance will gain increasing momentum to improve the pharmaceutical, energy, transportation, healthcare, semiconductor and manufacturing industries.

10- Clean technologies

Derived from the growing awareness of caring for the environment, new solutions that address the growing need for more sustainable energy generation are gaining ground, having an advance that promises an abundant supply of green energy to sustain exponential technological growth, for example, in high power computing.
