PASSAGE 1: While the COVID-19 pandemic has yet to fully play-out, it's had a profound impact on how we work, play and rest. New Electronics takes a look at the technologies that could drive change going forward. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses to turn to technology to enable production to continue and for dispersed teams to work from home and communicate, via platforms like Zoom or Teams. According to Mike Britehfield, VP Sales, EMEA, Analog Devices, as the crisis has impacted the private sector as a whole, "digitalization or digital transformation" is now front and centre. The business opportunities that the pandemic has created are expected to have a significant impact on how people work, rest and play. "Communications has seen increased demand. even more so as it appears that the trend towards working from home is going to require a more robust and effective communications infrastructure," said Britehfield. "Wireless networks and overall connectivity are two areas where remote working is going to have a significant impact both now and in the not-so-distant future." "The daily commute is something that nobody really enjoys and there will be more companies who see the value in either integrating or expanding an existing remote workforce," Britchfield continued. "Teleworking will likely increase as COVID-19 has made this option an essential tool in terms of how certain teams communicate and collaborate with cach other. "By the same chalk. Industry 4.0 has been part of the business optimization conversation for almost a decade now, but the adoption of next-gen technology has remained - on some levels - a work-in-progress." According to Britehfield, COVID-19 has accelerated the urgency around that conversation and shown that a digital mindset is not only possible but necessary to compete and survive in this 'brave new world', "Next-gen technology has already been integrated into the manufacturing sector, what matters, is how companies take advantage of the resources that are available to them. With that in mind, the term digital transformation might also rid itself of buzzword status and evolve to what can be considered the norm across the board."
