Two projects have been selected as winners of the NewTech Challenge launched by Iberdrola —through its International Start-up Programme - PERSEO— in which innovative solutions were sought to avoid bird collisions on its overhead distribution lines.
When a machine stops working, there can be significant consequences. But when this happens in critical systems such as electricity networks, the impact multiplies and can affect both service reliability and a company’s costs. For this reason, more and more organisations are turning to predictive maintenance, a set of techniques that make it possible to anticipate failures before they occur. Below, we explain in simple terms what predictive maintenance is and what its main benefits are

The company which has won the Iberdrola birdlife protection Challenge, Energiot, uses the Internet of Things (IoT) to monitor public service networks so they do not need to be maintained. Their solution to the problem was to create an autonomous predator simulator that would scare the birds away, allowing them to avoid collisions. Find out more about them.
Iberdrola selects Automa as the winner of the challenge to find innovative solutions to reduce non-technical losses in the distribution network. A challenge launched in November 2021 through the international PERSEO Start-up Programme in the framework of the Global Smart Grids Innovation Hub.

Bioinformatics is helping to defeat the SARS-CoV-2 virus responsible for COVID-19. To understand how, it is useful to know a little more about this discipline, which is responsible for processing data from the field of biology by applying computer science. In other words, just as linguists study the patterns of language to preserve them, bioinformaticians study the patterns of DNA sequences and proteins to protect our health.
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors, recently announed that his company would start developing androids in 2022 with the intention of them taking over the dangerous, repetitive and boring tasks currently performed by humans. Although some have questioned the announcement, the truth is that other companies, such as Honda and Toyota, among others, have been working on this type of machine for years which will sooner or later become an everyday part of life.
