The reindustrialisation of a country like France hinges on automating production lines. However, a severe lack of programming skills is hampering the process. The solution may be to develop low-code applications. In the space of a few years, the manufacturing sector has harnessed a range of leading-edge technologies to enhance the operational and economic performance […]
XaaS, or everything-as-a-service and the managed services that support the solutions throughout their lifecycles can have a significant impact on the energy transition. In 2019 some 53.6 million tonnes of electronic waste were produced worldwide, only 17.4% of which were collected and recycled. Indeed, the lifespan of IT equipment is no more than 3-5 years. […]
In order to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from ships, dockside electrical supplies will become the standard by 2030.
