Connected Ecosystems: Digital Transformation

Digital Catapult will be hosting a Connected Ecosystems event exploring deep tech innovation in digital transformation. The event will feature an in-depth case study of private LPWAN network implementation across different locations, sharing lessons learned, user experience insights, and future applications.

This will be followed by a demonstration of a platform that combines AI and IoT technologies to enhance real-time data monitoring and optimization, insights into transformative industrial IoT solutions for non-invasive equipment monitoring, and innovative Bluetooth Low Energy networking technology that enables seamless cloud connectivity.

We invite industrial decision-makers, operations managers, and technology leaders looking to accelerate their digital transformation journey. Whether you’re exploring remote monitoring solutions, seeking to optimize existing infrastructure, or interested in innovative approaches to deep tech implementation, you’ll gain valuable insights from real-world applications.

The session will be particularly relevant for professionals in manufacturing, railways, and industrial sectors who are responsible for operational efficiency, equipment monitoring, or digital strategy implementation.

Discover how emerging deep tech solutions are revolutionizing industrial operations through real-world implementations. This event offers a unique opportunity to learn from successful digital transformation initiatives, including LNER’s pioneering LPWAN deployment and cutting-edge industrial IoT applications. Gain practical insights into non-invasive monitoring solutions, innovative wireless connectivity approaches, and the powerful combination of AI with IoT for advanced data analytics.
