Just a few days ago, a creative and fascinating story was published by a writer, CSO, IoT, and SaaS builder, who reflects deeply on the importance of geotechnical monitoring globally.
‍

In this recent article, titled "The Geotechnical Game of Thrones", Gómez draws an original analogy between the popular television series Game of Thrones and the constant human drive to understand and stabilize earth movements. The author defines geotechnical monitoring as "the art of understanding and predicting ground movements using sensors, data loggers, and software", applied primarily to civil construction and mining.
‍

Through this medieval fantasy, the expert likens the industry's dynamics to the series, describing how a couple of dozen global companies compete like "kingdoms fighting for supremacy." In his account, Gómez provides a historical overview from the early family-run manufacturers to the modern companies that have driven current technological development, even comparing disciplines like vibration monitoring to "shamans reading the whispers of the earth."
‍

Within this competitive universe, the author recognizes and highlights the efforts of Geosinergia, explicitly positioning us as “the market leader in the Chilean mining industry”.
