Location and Sensing Technologies – The role in the Digital Transformation Revolution
Date: September 16 2020, Times: 09:00–10:15 am and 10:30–12:00 pm, Location: Online session Via Zoom
There is no question that we are in the middle of a technological revolution in Location and Sensing Technologies. This revolution is altering everything in the way we live, move, work, and communicate with one another. Digital transformation, as a form of the digital revolution, is both a decisive game changer and a great enabler. Not only has its expanse become all-pervasive, but also digitization is indispensable in almost every domain, from the most complex undertakings to the simplest routine tasks. Location and sensing technologies are at the heart of digital revolution today and we can’t think of any development without spatial information and location data.
Due to its velocity, scope and systems the transformational impact is unlike anything we have experienced before. This presentation will provide the state of the art and future trends of location and sensing technologies and their impact in the digital transformation of many industries that will impact our life.
