Between the 12th and 13th June 2018, the Region of Murcia, home to Aqubix's Spanish branch, held a digital week event - The XII edition of the AOTEC Technology Fair at the Víctor Villegas Auditorium and Congress Center. It consisted of many workshops dedicated to exchanging knowledge on entrepreneurship and digital transformation.

 

Rubén V. Caravaca López, Software Engineer at Aqubix Spain and technical secretary of the Official College of Telecommunications Technical Engineers in the Region of Murcia (COITTRM) was invited to participate in this event. Rubén stressed that "for the progress of a community there are three important pillars, education, information and local economy," in reference to the activity of local telecommunications operators. He also highlighted the progress being made in Spain in the technology sector with Smart cities, the Internet of Things, the advance of 5G or robotics and all aspects present in this fair.

 

Rubén also presented one of the workshops: "IOT in the open. Initiation into the ecosystem", in which he was able to take a quick tour of the current state of the IoT, in addition to pointing out the problem that hinders this sector by the lack of standards. He showcased a small project Aqubix worked on last year - a dashboard in real time for IoT. He demonstrated how a temperature sensor can read and yield results, in real time. At the end of the workshop, Rubén thanked Daniel Ruiz Sanchez, Director of Aqubix Spain, for providing technical support throughout workshop by ceding its .net API to make a prototype Smart city platform.
