Building the Connected World

Whether it’s healthcare tools that bridge the gap between patients and providers, automotive sensors that make roads safer for drivers and pedestrians, or journeys into the metaverse to forge new, efficient paths for industry, disruptive technologies play a vital role in the creation of a connected world.

Overview

It’s been a long journey from the dawn of personal computers to the doorstep of the metaverse. In the mid-90s, the availability of internet-enabled PCs brought on an explosion of digital information and business productivity unlike any seen before. The advent of the Cloud expanded and transformed the use of the internet again in the mid-2000s. 

Now, we are just beginning to see businesses unlock the possibilities of the industrial metaverse. Tools like digital twins and predictive analysis will enable businesses to make unprecedented data-driven decisions, while simulated production has the power to optimize operations and create immersive customer experiences that provide endless ways to interact on new levels and drive powerful new outcomes.  

The question is: are you ready? Read on to explore how connectivity trends are impacting almost every industry and how companies like Molex are leveraging new technologies and data, creating connections for life.
