Industry 4.0 is rapidly transforming the industrial and manufacturing industry, with companies large and small investing in technologies like 5G, additive, artificial intelligence, and others.

These investments are adding up quickly, forcing manufacturers to rethink the ways that they deploy new technologies. That’s why we’re seeing plant simulation software gaining in popularity and traction. In fact, we project that revenues in this space will reach $4.1 billion by 2030.

With international trade activity picking up and more companies entering the e-commerce space, the demand for warehousing facilities has been on a steady rise. However, warehouses of today face a very unique, and mounting, set of challenges.

Every year, 7 million people around the globe die as a result of poor air quality, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). That’s more than 5 times the amount that die in traffic accidents (1.3 million).

Fortunately, cities around the world are taking notice, and in response they’re making significant investments to combat dangerous air quality levels. In fact, the number of public air sensor stations – which measure air quality – is expected to increase from 8,000 in 2019 to around 31,000 in 2024 as cities look to build a dense network of monitoring stations.
