80% of logistics and industrial operators in Spain consider “essential or very important” to have an advanced digital infrastructure. This is highlighted by WiredScore, who also comments that the majority (87%) expects the high -speed optical fiber to be a standard, while operational efficiency is positioned as the main technological investment engine.
In addition, the use of technologies such as artificial intelligence, sensors, tracking systems or IoT solutions is expected to exceed 80% in the next five years, which requires facilities capable of supporting that technological load and adapting to the evolution of the market.
“The Spanish logistics market is growing rapidly, and digital infrastructure is a key habilitator. Operators need assets that can support automation, IoT and real -time visibility of the supply chain. With the WiredScore certification for the industrial and logistics sector, the owners can send a clear sign that their buildings are prepared to respond to these new demands,” says William Buttery, director of Wiredscore commercial development in Spain.
Certifications
With more than 50 million square meters certified in Europe since 2015, Wiredscore now focuses on one of the key engines of the economy: the industrial and logistics sector. Grand names of the real estate sector such as HIES, Lasalle Investment Management, Prologis and Segro have already joined this initiative in different European markets, adopting certification as a guarantee of technological quality.

The certification evaluates and values aspects such as the provision of Internet services, mobile network coverage, technological sustainability, digital resilience and, above all, the preparation of facilities to adapt to future changes or new technological solutions.
Logistics and Industry Sector: Digital Connectivity
One of the first tangible examples of this technological commitment is the case of Guadalajara DC1, a logistics asset of Prologis that has already been certified by Wiredscore, becoming the first in Spain with this distinction.
Cristian Oller, vice president and responsible for asset management for southern Europe in Prologis, points out that this initiative marks a new standard for the sector: «In an increasingly digitized world, the interconnection between buildings, means of transport and customers is no longer a vision of the future, but a real operational need. With the WiredScore certification for Guadalajara DC1, we guarantee our clients a robust, safe and prepared digital infrastructure for the demands of the present and the future, ”he explains.
“This certification reinforces our commitment to assets prepared for the future, where technology, sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand,” he concludes.
Certification as an added value tool
For the promoters and owners of industrial ships, the WiredScore certification not only represents an operational advantage, but also a differential element in the market. In an environment where connectivity has become a requirement to attract large operators, have a stamp that guarantees the technological quality of the facilities can make a difference.
