Brazil has R$280 billion available for the transport sector inGrowth Acceleration Program (PAC), since R$ 185,8 billion will be invested in highways, covering public works, studies, concessions and the maintenance of Brazil's road network. From this amount, R$ 73 billion will come from public resources and R$ 112,8 billion in private investments. In total, 113 new projects and 167 works are planned for the expansion and improvement of the roads
In the railway sector, essential to rebalance the transport matrix and strengthen the country's competitiveness, the investments total R$ 94,2 billion — being R$ 6 billion in public resources and R$ 88,2 billion in private investments. With these resources, the demand for technologies that can optimize these projects becomes crucial. That's where digital transformation, led by Worldsensing, stands out
The transformation of Brazilian infrastructure is in progress, and IoT (Internet of Things) positions itself as a key piece for this revolution. A Worldsensing, global company reference in IoT solutions for monitoring and management of critical infrastructures, brings advanced technologies to Brazil aimed at increasing security, the efficiency and sustainability of large infrastructure projects, what includes metro-rail systems and hydroelectric plants
Railways: economic growth on rails
The focus of logistics development in Brazil has turned to railways. The expansion of the North-South Railway, for example, it is one of the strategic projects that aims to integrate industrial centers with agricultural hubs and reduce transportation costs, in addition to increasing logistical efficiency. The estimate is that the expansion will create more than 1 million jobs by 2026
Here, Worldsensing steps in with infrastructure sensing solutions. With IoT technology, it is possible to monitor the tracks in real time, anticipate failures and prevent accidents, what keeps the flow of goods and reduces the risk of interruptions.
Hydroelectric plants: clean and sustainable energy
Brazil, with almost 60% of its electricity coming from hydropower plants, faces challenges with the aging of these infrastructures and the efficient management of water resources. Plants like Belo Monte can benefit from IoT that allows for monitoring water flow and structural safety. This contributes to sustainability by optimizing resources and reducing operational costs
According to theWorld Bank, every dollar invested in the modernization of critical infrastructure, like hydroelectric plants and railways, can generate an economic return of four dollars. This positive impact on the economy comes not only from the increase in energy and logistics efficiency, but also from the reduction of environmental damage and improvements in the quality of services provided to the population
Technology, sustainability and growth
The use of IoT in Brazilian infrastructures represents a significant advance in terms of sustainability and competitiveness.In addition to generating jobs, reduce costs and improve the efficiency of transportation and energy, these solutions have a direct impact on the daily lives of the population
