Documented cause
IoTPARA built IoT for Paraguay's industrial sector. Itaipu used GE/Siemens. Brazilian agricultural multinationals used parent systems. Domestic-owned industry totaled under 10 addressable factories. The company reached 4 clients.
Lesson
“Paraguay IoT must target the 15,000+ small cattle and soy farms with no parent company systems — the agricultural sensor market for weather, soil, and livestock monitoring is the viable IoT opportunity in Paraguay.”
