“IIoT technologies will dramatically improve productivity and efficiencies throughout the entire manufacturing supply chain, which will in turn, help strengthen the global economy,” said Dr. Richard Soley, Executive Director, IIC. “The IIoT World Tour program leverages the cross-industry knowledge of the IIC and the manufacturing expertise of Plattform Industrie 4.0 to help advance the digitalization of industrial systems.”
“A*STAR is proud to partner with the IIC and Plattform Industrie 4.0 to host the IIoT World Tour in Singapore. This is aligned with A*STAR’s Future of Manufacturing (FoM) initiative. The event plays an important role in encouraging collaboration via public, private partnership platforms within the research, innovation and enterprise ecosystem,” said Prof. Tan Sze Wee, Executive Director, Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC), A*STAR. “It also supports Singapore’s push for industry adoption of IIoT to maintain a globally competitive and innovative manufacturing sector.”
“Germany is one of the leading Industrie 4.0 countries worldwide. The topic is not only of national priority, but plays a crucial role in our international relationships. Therefore, I am very pleased that the German Plattform Industrie 4.0 together with its partner IIC, is today discussing and sharing their results in Singapore at this IIoT World Tour event. The meeting is a good opportunity to encourage the global exchange in this very important topic,” said Uwe Beckmeyer, Parliamentary State Secretary at the Germany Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
The Guest-of-Honor for the IIoT World Tour is Low Yen Ling, Singapore’s Senior Parliamentary Secretary of Ministry of Trade & Industry and Ministry of Education who will be giving a welcome address.
