Brazil has available R$ 280 billion destined to the transport sector in the Growth Acceleration Program (PAC), and R$ 185.8 billion will be invested in highways, covering public works, studies, concessions and the maintenance of the road network of Brazil. Of this amount, R$ 73 billion will come from public resources and R$ 112.8 billion private investments. Altogether, 113 new projects and 167 works are planned for the expansion and improvement of roads.
In the railway sector, essential to rebalance the transport matrix and strengthen the country's competitiveness, investments total R$ 94.2 billion 0, R$ 6 billion in public resources and R$ 88.2 billion in private contributions. With these resources, the demand for technologies that can optimize these works becomes crucial. This is where the digital transformation, led by Worldsensing, stands out
The transformation of Brazilian infrastructure is in progress, and IoT (Internet of Things) is positioned as a key player for this revolution.Worldsensing, a global reference company in IoT solutions for monitoring and management of critical infrastructures, brings to Brazil advanced technologies that aim to increase the safety, efficiency and sustainability of large infrastructure works, which includes metro-rail and hydroelectric systems.
Railways: economic growth on tracks
The focus of logistics development in Brazil has turned to railways.The expansion of the North-South Railway, for example, is one of the strategic projects that aims to integrate industrial centers with agricultural poles and reduce transport costs, as well as increase logistics efficiency.The estimate is that the expansion will create more than 1 million jobs by 2026.
Here, Worldsensing comes on the scene with infrastructure sensing solutions.With IoT technology it is possible to monitor the tracks in time, anticipate failures and prevent accidents, which maintains the flow of goods and reduces the risk of interruptions.
Hydroelectric: clean and sustainable energy
Brazil, with almost 60% of its electricity from hydroelectric dams, faces challenges with the aging of these infrastructures and the efficient management of water resources. Plants such as Belo Monte can benefit from IoT that allows water flow monitoring and structural safety.
According to the World Bank's, every dollar invested in the modernization of critical infrastructures, such as hydroelectric dams and railways, can generate an economic return of four dollars. This positive impact on the economy comes not only from increased energy efficiency and logistics, 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 major advance in terms of sustainability and competitiveness. In addition to generating jobs, reducing costs and improving transportation and energy efficiency, these solutions have a direct impact on the daily lives of the population.
