6 technology trends that have been accelerated by the coronavirus

When the Coronavirus pandemic burst into our lives in March, virtually all of us turned to technology to respond to its challenges. Whether because we wanted to have fun during quarantine or because we needed to talk to our co-workers in a new remote work environment, technology has expanded throughout our daily lives until (…)

more than 1.7 billion people without a bank account in the world. This lack of access is a significant obstacle to this trend coming to fruition and is the reason why the growth is not as massive as other trends on this list.

6. Smart Supply Chain

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the well-oiled global supply chain and created all sorts of problems for manufacturers around the world. The response to this was disparate. Some factories chose to close. Others have implemented safety protocols to ensure social distancing and increase the protection of their employees, and others have invested in developing a smart supply chain, albeit in a more limited way.

Technologies such as big data, cloud computing, blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) are being combined in innovative ways to ensure the correct performance of entire facilities. Through their combination, companies can remotely control the manufacturing process as a whole, increasing product traceability, anticipating problems along the chain and encouraging the exchange of data between suppliers.

The pandemic has laid the groundwork for supply chain 4.0 to flourish, as more and more companies begin to realize the problems with the current iteration, from a lack of flexibility to a heavy reliance on paper records. All of these problems are likely to disappear as more companies adopt cutting-edge technology to solve them.

Technologies for the post-pandemic world

As most companies scrambled to respond to the challenges brought about by the sudden appearance of the Coronavirus, the organic acceleration of these trends shows a few things. First, companies are starting to realize what early adopters have always known about these technologies – that they are not only more sophisticated or convenient tools, but also capable of delivering more value.

And second, that these technological trends are necessary in our increasingly digital world. They can provide the flexibility needed to accommodate the demands of an ever-changing reality and can help us with our most pressing issues. When the pandemic subsides, we will need both this value and this flexibility to fight the numerous challenges of the post-Coronavirus world. Fortunately, we will have these technologies on our side to achieve this.
