Fira de Barcelona hosts IOTSWC and BCC, two events to transform the industry and protect ourselves
Fira de Barcelona will host from January 31 to February 2 the World Congress of IOT Solutions (IOTSWC) and the Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress (CCB). On the one hand, the IOTSWC is the main event focused on the transformation of the industry through disruptive technologies and, on the other, the BCC is an international congress focused on the field of cybersecurity.
The IOTSWC and the challenges of the future
The IOTSWCwhich is organized by Fira de Barcelona in collaboration with the Industry IOT Consortium, will be held at the Gran Vía venue of Fira de Barcelona and will show, through test benches or test benches can, how the most advanced technologies transform companies, the way to manufacture the product and provide services. By way of example, it should be mentioned that some of the projects in the Testbed Area of the IOT Solutions World Congress are robots prepared to better collaborate with humans, solutions to transform last-mile logistics, and security systems developed for medical devices and connected cars. .
Currently, one of the main challenges facing the robotics sector is to move from robot automation to robot collaboration. That is why the field of robotics calls for efforts in interaction with humans that allow simple and safe control of robots in the work area. Thus, one of the test benches on display at the congress is the TIAGo robotic arm, which detects external obstacles in the production plant.
Issues such as the cybersecurity. For example, the company Irdeto will exhibit the first healthcare-specific cybersecurity platform that combines detection capabilities on the same devices along with a cloud platform that proactively identifies software vulnerabilities, manages the product lifecycle, and provides rapid mitigation measures. Irdeto will also teach a simulation of to hack of vehicles with different purposes, from overriding the brakes, modifying the mileage and remote control of car functions.
One of the main challenges facing the robotics industry is moving from robot automation to robot collaboration.
The IOSTWC will also discuss the cities of the future. Thus, Aqualia, FCC and Rigual will use a solution for city service providers by digitizing the vehicles used in cleaning services with the aim of facing the challenge of global sustainability and increasing efficiency in the consumption of resources . And the CARNET mobility research center will exhibit ONA, an autonomous vehicle that works with smaller autonomous delivery devices and a remote control center that manages communications, collects data, optimizes fleet operations and provides a fail-safe solution. failures in complex situations.
Visitors will also be able to see how Zariot’s SmartAxiom works, a logistics management solution that uses Blockchain embedded in the device and within the connectivity infrastructure as a security element. It is the first comprehensive solution with block chain from the device to the cloud.
The last three IOSTWC test benches They are related to the manufacturing, energy, and food and beverage industries. The first, created by Deloitte, is a predictive maintenance solution that uses sensors to capture data and optimize the operation of a robotic arm in a manufacturing plant. The second, prepared by Engie, proposes the creation of a data space that allows data to be shared throughout the energy supply chain. And the third, created by Evowater Technology, periodically sanitizes the ducts of the beverage dispensers and reusable bottles, while providing information on the consumption and properties of the beverage.
Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress, the meeting point to create a more cybersecure society
Under the motto “The road to safety”, the Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress addresses the need to increase the levels of cybersecurity in companies to avoid or minimize cyberattacks, since these are becoming more frequent. The BCC, organized by Fira de Barcelona and the Catalan Cybersecurity Agency (ACC), will also exhibit the latest solutions to protect companies from malware attacks, to save data, to improve recovery time and to strengthen confidence in the product.

The great objective of the fourth edition of the BCC is offer real applications to cybersecurity needs in the field of industry and discover new ways of collaboration to build a better digital world. And it is that the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the bot attacks on social networks or the various cyberattacks on a global scale have demonstrated the vulnerability of interconnected systems. That is why the BCC offers an extensive conference program, a piracy townan area for exhibitions and activities and a space for Opening.
Specifically, the contents of the Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress will be divided into the thematic axes of Health, Supply Chain and the creation of software bills of materials (SBOM in English), Energy and the sector utilities (companies that offer public services such as electricity, water or gas) and Industrial Automation and Control System (YAKS).
It should be said that, at this point, they have already confirmed their participation as speakers Franky Thrasher, Head of Nuclear Cybersecurity at ENGIE, Allan Friedman, Senior Advisor and Strategist in the US Department of Homeland Security, Sarb Sembhi, Director of Technology at Virtually Informed and Josema Cavanillas, Vice President of Health and Sciences Life for southern and eastern Europe by Atos, among others.
The conferences They will also have the participation of different experts from the ACC. In addition, some thirty companies will show their innovations and developments. At the same time, they will organize workshops and activities to disseminate new products and services, such as Telefónica Tech, Cloudflare and Fortinet.
The Barcelona Cybersecurity Congress will be held together with the IOT World Solutions Congress (IOTSWC) in Hall 4 of the Fira de Barcelona Gran Vía venue. The technological vanguard awaits you on January 31st. You can not miss!
