AI and IoT: Allies in the Improvement of Infrastructures

Digitalization has become a key factor within modern infrastructures, thanks to the transformative potential it offers to improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability in these environments.

In this sense, the platform created by SNGULAR based on AI and IoT technologies, allows Ferrovial to monitor the state of the infrastructure in real-time, being able to detect anomalies, breakdowns, and maintenance needs in advance.

This combination of technologies facilitates the automation of processes and decision-making in real-time, which optimizes the planning, bidding, operations control, execution of tasks, infrastructure security, and allocates the necessary resources to reduce time and costs.

These types of solutions also help to improve the safety and mobility of users and goods by avoiding possible accidents, traffic jams, and unnecessary CO2 emissions. Offering them a safer, smoother and more comfortable driving experience, leads to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.

A Local Project with Global Impact

The technology and projects that arise from this collaboration will be developed in Spain. These innovations will be used in the different business units of Ferrovial which includes the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and other markets. As Sarah Harmon, Global CEO of SNGULAR, adds, “Our company has been working for many years to transform various industries through technology. This alliance positions us as a relevant player in the infrastructure sector and enhances our ability to export Spanish technology to different areas”. Ferrovial - within its Digital Horizon 2024 strategy - and SNGULAR have demonstrated how Artificial Intelligence and the IoT can be key allies when developing a new generation of sustainable transportation infrastructure by offering effective solutions, as well as advanced management throughout the entire asset cycle.
