According to the CNI, by 2025, around 9,6 million people need to be trained for activities in the industrial sector; Technological solutions mitigate heavy work and eliminate bottlenecks in manufacturing plants and construction sites.

The need for qualification in Brazilian industry

According to the 2022-2025 Labor Map of the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), Brazil needs to qualify 9,6 million workers for industrial occupations. Of this total, 2 million require initial training to fill new vacancies or replace layoffs. Furthermore, a CNI study reveals that five out of ten industries face a lack of qualified workers.

To address this labor shortage and attract new professionals, especially young people, to the industrial sector, technology emerges as a strategic solution. Túlio Cerviño, co-founder and CEO of Trackfy, believes that technology can increase workers' productivity and well-being, making the industrial environment more attractive.

The importance of Industry 5.0

Industry 5.0 promotes a digital transformation that combines technologies to increase productivity and improve employees' quality of life. This approach is essential, especially considering that the average age of a Brazilian worker is close to 40 years old, according to IBGE's Pnad, which directly affects the industrial and construction sectors, which represent more than 30% of Brazilian GDP.

Cerviño highlights that the industry needs to “do more with less”, as it is facing difficulties hiring in roles such as mechanics, bricklayers, boilermakers, welders, electricians, instrumentalists and industrial painters. These roles are unattractive to young people, who prefer careers in digital spaces and apps.

Technological solutions for the industrial sector

Trackfy, a startup founded in 2020, develops technological solutions for monitoring and analyzing data in real time in industrial complexes and construction sites. Using technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), data analysis and intelligent algorithms, the company offers devices that, attached to employees' helmets and badges, transmit information to a cloud platform.

These technologies help industrial managers identify productivity bottlenecks, detect safety risks and implement improvements that positively impact workers' lives. Industrial hubs in Camaçari (BA), Cubatão (SP) and Mauá (SP) already use Trackfy technology, as do construction companies.

Cerviño states that Trackfy's technology eliminates production bottlenecks and improves worker safety and well-being. “The unprecedented visibility provided by Trackfy proves that optimizing the company's results goes hand in hand with improving the lives of workers, and we are still just at the beginning of what we envision for the market”, reiterates the CEO.


Technology is an indispensable ally to face the challenges of the shortage of qualified labor in the industrial sector. By investing in innovative solutions, industries can increase productivity, improve working conditions and attract new talent, ensuring a more sustainable and competitive future for Brazil.
