Futurecom begins, the most important technological event in Latin America

TyN Magazine from Futurecom, San Pablo. The 20th edition of Futurecom – the largest and most important technology and telecommunications event in Latin America, to be held by Informa Exhibitions from October 15 to 18 at São Paulo Expo in São Paulo – will promote a broad discussion on the impact of new technologies in a hyperconnected world. One of the highlights of the event will be Anny, the first humanoid robot, whose main mission is to simulate skills and conversations, as well as to perform functions as secretary, receptionist and even escort for the elderly and people with special needs.

Currently, Anny is involved in projects in the health and care segments in several countries. Developed by Realbotix in partnership with NextOS do Brasil and Daxtron of the United States, the robot can be customized according to each company’s strategy. The expectation of companies is to deliver, during 2019, about 100 heads and busts, which will be present in hospitals, offices and events.

In addition to Anny, visitors will have the opportunity to meet other robots like Ada, who acts as a trainee for a company; the NAO, master of ceremonies, and the robozão of 2 meters, that will circulate by the fair.

During the event, the visitor will be able to know solutions that help in the production of a winery, from the planting for sale; systems that use Analytics to identify letters and numbers of car plates that often appear illegible in the images taken on the streets by CCTV cameras that are low resolution; demonstrations involving the characteristics and impacts of 5G technology in the transformation of telecommunications, as well as immersive experiences from the use of IoT platforms.

At Futurecom, a solution will be presented for Smart Agriculture. It is a device that is fixed by a collar to the body of the cows, to monitor their activity in the pasture and to send the information via cellular network to a server that stores the behavioral data of the animals and that can be accompanied by the manager of the farm . As a result, it is possible to know more precisely when, for example, a cow enters the fertile period, since its activity increases at that time. In China this technology is already used in more than 1 million connected animals, generating a 25% increase in milk revenue.

For Hermano Pinto, portfolio director of Informa Exhibitions and responsible for Futurecom, the 20-year edition will bring together the digital transformation ecosystem, which will show how blockchain, cognitive and artificial intelligence, machine learning, reality virtual and augmented, smart cities, data security, big data and analytics provide new experiences that will impact relationships in Economy 4.0.

Completely renovated, Futurecom will have spaces designed to expose applications that directly involve connectivity. This is the case, for example, of the area that hosts Internet demonstrations of Things or Space Networks – exhibition of companies focused on networks, services, integration and infrastructure suppliers and ancillary equipment. Another area is Futuretech, an environment specifically designed to showcase the technologies that drive disruption and the way you do business. Startups, accelerators and the academic environment will have the Innovation space, with an environment specially created to help them in mentoring, dynamics, hackathons and investor search.

Huawei

Huawei will showcase Futurecom’s IoT Applications space as a solution for Intelligent Agriculture. It is a device that is fixed by a collar to the body of the cows, serving to monitor their activity in the pasture and send the information via cellular network to a server that stores the behavioral data of the animals and that can be accompanied by the manager of the farm. As a result, it is possible to know more precisely when, for example, a cow enters the fertile period, since its activity increases at that time. In this way, it is easier to identify the best time for artificial insemination, increasing the chances of success of the procedure. Knowing the exact timing of insemination helps increase the likelihood of a male or female calf being born, depending on the breeder’s business strategy, for example, to indicate whether breeding is dedicated to beef cattle or milk production. In China this technology is already used in more than 1 million connected animals, generating a 25% increase in milk revenue.

On October 16, Huawei’s executive sales manager, Rodolfo Fiasco, will participate in a panel on transforming networks for the arrival of 5G.
