The digital revolution has been on the move for a while and some industries are slower to adapt than others. For instance, the world of biotechnology is one of those industries. A lot of industrial bio-production, biotech, and pharmaceutical companies are still convinced that in order to use the best software solution, adequate tech must be developed and maintained in-house and the data should be stored on internal servers instead of other options, like the cloud. However, experts in the field agree that in the next decade, this industry must also quickly adapt to the ever-changing market, embracing the digital transformation and creating new opportunities for growth and scientific breakthroughs.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the leading emerging technologies today that most people talk about in the tech world. In essence, it tries to simulate human reasoning with dedicated digital systems. The term itself (Artificial Intelligence) was first used in 1950 by John McCarty. Back then, he stated that any feature of intelligence or learning, in essence, can be described in a way that a machine can simulate. He predicted that humanity would attempt to find ways to make machines form abstractions, create concepts, use languages, and solve problems that, back then, were only reserved for humans.

Managing and manipulating energy by closely monitoring energy-consuming devices is an intricate and complex task. It’s more or less required to pinpoint these devices manually and design new, eco-friendly ways to minimize energy consumption. Luckily, with the advancements in technology, companies in the industry managed to kickstart different energy software development processes. That enables them to control how said energy is being produced, how it circulates, and how it is being used. In the vast majority of cases, these new adjustments have been made possible thanks to energy management software.
