With a strong focus on customer-centric innovation, strategic fundraising, and operational excellence, Ignasi fosters high-performing teams through action-driven, entrepreneurial leadership. He is all set to share his views on IoT-Enabled Monitoring of Oil & Gas Assets.

He will share his views on the limitations of traditional SCADA systems, which often lack the granular visibility required to comprehensively monitor pipelines stretching hundreds or thousands of kilometers. He will explore how leveraging long-range (LoRa) IoT technology can significantly enhance operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability. By utilizing ultra long-range communication and a star network topology, operators can efficiently collect data from geographically dispersed points while minimizing the time, complexity, and infrastructure typically needed. He will also highlight how rugged IoT devices offer a flexible, scalable solution that integrates seamlessly with existing systems and can be rapidly deployed even in remote or harsh environments. Ignasi will emphasize the opportunity for the oil and gas sector to accelerate the adoption of LoRa IoT—benefiting from advancements already embraced by adjacent industries like mining and construction.
