DISRUPT AND DEMYSTIFY: THE SOLUTIONS TO TAKE ON I4.0 REVOLUTION

The state of readiness for Industry 4.0 (I4.0) adoption is ramping up in Asia Pacific. Manufacturers and companies are heeding the call to action amidst escalating concerns over low labour productivity that impacts economic growth. Addressing the fears and stumbling blocks over I4.0 is the first step to achieving clarity and direction, and Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC 2019 – A HANNOVER MESSE EVENT, returns this year with a very focused and specialised approach to speed up I4.0 adoption with practical learning platforms and scalable solutions.

With regional governments emphasising the need to be ready for the digital revolution, organisations are realising that I4.0 adoption is not an option, but a necessary solution to being future-ready and to future-proof their business models. It’s not a matter of “if” but “when”, and the ones who are quick to respond will gain first-mover advantage that translates into massive efficiencies that impact large-scale production.

“We’ve seen digitalisation, robotics and automation coming together to enable our customers to work side-by-side with technology and deliver new levels of productivity and safety. No matter the size of a company, digital transformation can help to realise new opportunities today to enable sustained business success while reducing the impact on environment and people. The challenge is no longer whether to start but how to scale and build momentum,” said Johan de Villiers, Country Managing Director, ABB Singapore.

What are the right automation decisions to make? How to find the budget for it? What does it take for a business to go full integration on I4.0? How to ensure that it remains sustainable? These are some of the fears and doubts that organisations are concerned about, and which will be addressed at Industrial Transformation via its comprehensive content-rich learning platforms and themed activity zones on the show floor.

Held October 22 to 24 at Singapore EXPO & MAX Atria, Industrial Transformation will focus on getting organisations to move beyond the “fear factor” and “pilot trap” and to shift up the gears to test bed and prototype solutions to tackle industry challenges.

Kick-starting the I4.0 Journey
I4.0 adoption does not require organisations to overhaul existing machinery and equipment when new software will work just as well. Getting started can be as easy as opting for turnkey or scalable solutions that result in ROI for the company. To meet those needs, Industrial Transformation introduces the new Collaboration Lab, a platform for companies to collaborate and co-create by test bedding and retrofitting solutions. Participating organisations include Singapore Polytechnic, Microsoft, Beckhoff, Rockwell Automation and Emerson.

“In today’s complex digital economy, customisation is the norm. Companies that want to capitalise on the potential of I4.0 need to keep customer experience front and centre. They can do this with a predictive and intelligent digital connected supply chain that connects the entire ecosystem of customers, suppliers, and partners. This integrated design to operate approach —from design, planning and manufacturing to logistics and ongoing maintenance – allows businesses to design smarter, address issues with insight and continuously innovate,” said Graham Conlon, Head of Digital Supply Chain, SAP Asia Pacific Japan.

Furthering the agenda in smart logistics is the Learning Lab, which features live demonstrations on the capabilities and applications of autonomous solutions in the intralogistics environment. The aim is to enable organisations to achieve flexibility, adaptability and proactivity in their processes. In the field of advanced manufacturing, one of the trends being observed closely by the industry is that of industrial robots, which have gotten smaller, smarter and more dexterous, making it a more attractive option. The Robotics Experiential Zone debuts this year to highlight robotics displays and interactive exhibits that emphasise their importance in advanced manufacturing and service sectors. Curated with Singapore Industrial Automation Association (SIAA), the zone will also highlight start-up pitches to uncover innovative solutions. To support these activities, SIAA will work with the National Robotics R&D Programme Office (NR2PO) to support IP generation in the robotics space.

“We are excited about Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC 2019 and the slew of platforms that I4.0 partners can utilise in this year’s edition. Through the exchange of ideas and information on I4.0 transformation, manufacturers, suppliers and solution providers can form the right partnerships to drive their company transformation, tailored to their needs. As Singapore evolves our manufacturing sector and enhances the supporting infrastructure to ride the I4.0 wave, we hope that more companies in Singapore will come on board the journey and take industrial transformation to the next level,” said Lim Kok Kiang, Assistant Managing Director, Economic Development Board.

Moving towards actionable outcomes
Industrial Transformation’s learning journey to address fears and concerns:

• Planning for the future and Influencing change from top down with CXO Suimmit for C-suite leadership and Future of Manufacturing workshops targeting mid management and practitioners
• Specialised learning with industry-focused tracks on: oil&gas&energy, pharmaceutical & biotechnology, semiconductor & electronic & electrical, FMCG & F&B, aerospace, logistics & supply chain, chemical, infrastructure & facilities, urban solutions, and automotive
• Comprehensive and practical engagement with 120 guide tours covering 12 industry sectors across three days
• Targeted learning with 50 Sandbox sessions for beginners, early adopters and trailblazers
• Future-readiness via innovation adoption and problem solving with CXO Summit, Global AM Summit, Standards Forum and specialised workshops

Organised by SingEx Exhibitions and international partner Deutsche Messe, Industrial Transformation ASIA PACIFIC 2019 brings together a self-contained ecosystem for end-to-end engagements among I4.0 practitioners, technology & solution providers, industrial companies, component manufacturers, software companies, manufacturing solutions suppliers, service companies & consultancies and start-ups.

“We have listened closely to the needs of Asia Pacific companies who are facing I4.0 disruption and we have curated content platforms this year to ensure that they find the right guidance to determine the best solutions customised for their needs. While the state of readiness is increasing, many companies lack the in-depth knowledge to get started, and for those who have started, going beyond the pilot stage remains a problem. Industrial Transformation will address these pain points and provide the catalyst for companies to find the right solutions with the right fit that align with their business objectives,” said Aloysius Arlando, CEO, SingEx Holdings.

“Today, manufacturers face very different challenges compared to only a few years ago. Together with the R&D sector, suppliers of production, logistics and energy technologies have to adjust to meet these new demands,” said Dr. Jochen Köckler, CEO of Deutsche Messe. “Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC brings together users and providers of all sizes to actively shape this transformation in the key sectors of automation, industrial IT and software, energy, logistics, and additive manufacturing.”

Singapore Jewellery & Gem Fair: A Festival of Jewellery Design and Artistry

The Singapore Jewellery and Gem Fair (SJGF), which opens to public today at Marina Bay Sands (Hall A & B) till 29 October, brings a wide showcase of exquisitely designed and made jewellery pieces from more than 120 exhibitors from 15 countries and regions.

The pilot launch of the digital service for Hand-Carried Exports Scheme (HCES) was a key highlight of the event's welcome ceremony. Underlining the launch in his welcome address, Mr. Ho, President, Singapore Jewellers Association (SJA) spoke about the current HCES, which allowed suppliers to zero-rate, or charge GST (Goods & Services Tax) at 0 per cent on their supplies of goods hand-carried out of Singapore via Changi International Airport to their overseas customers. This scheme will be digitalised, driving end to end digitisation of the permit declaration and endorsement. Suppliers can now receive a digitised permit clearance, instead of the carrier posting the endorsed physical permit clearance back to them. This provides a digital loop, eliminating the need for the paper return.

In his speech, Mr Ho also emphasised on the importance of attracting young blood and foster entrepreneurship in the jewellery [design] industry, "The jewellery industry has truly evolved over the years, especially in recent years, when we see the emergence of home grown jewellery designers. Some have sought to break from tradition, while others have created something new from tradition. We believe this is what makes the industry a dynamic market to work in," he said.

"From the very beginning, the Singapore Jewellery and Gem Fair has strived to be the platform for the local jewellery industry to share their knowledge and expertise with industry and public communities By doing this, we hope to enhance the profiles of home-grown jewellery designers and spotlight developments in the jewellery design scene. A visit to the show offers our visitors a holistic experience, as they will be able to see, touch, listen and even taste the event through the various event highlights and activities," said Mr. Andrew Tan, Senior Event Manager, Food & Hospitality & Lifestyle from event organiser, UBM.

Exhibition Highlights

The inaugural Designer Atelier Pavilion highlights fascinating, hand crafted jewellery from local and regional artisan jewellery designers. These include one-of-a-kind designs and signature collections from Obellery Studio, Carrie K., An Order of Bling, Chrysalis Jewels, Solo Jewels, MyDesign of Gems and Love Thy Stones.

Vihari Jewels is displaying the world's first and only cat's eye emerald necklace and earrings set from Brazil weighing over 500 carats, a 51 carat star ruby ring from Myanmar and a 18.44 carat green emerald earrings from Columbia - all are certified by Gubelin Gem Lab. The star ruby ring and green emerald earrings are especially rare as they are each certified to have no indications of heating and clarity enhancement. Kite-shaped cut natural colour diamonds, certified by Gemmological Institute of America, are also on display at the Vihari booth.

Having produced fine jewellery for some of the best brands worldwide, De Shervin offers quality manufacturing at one stop. Whether you are looking to produce quality bridal rings, bespoke jewellery items or even a unique jewellery line, De Shervin will be showcasing a variety of services at their booth.

Glajz creates bespoke jewellery pieces with a niche in the fancy colour diamond market. Numerous limited edition jewellery lines, produced under licence from The Argyle Pink Diamond brand, will be on display at Glajz's booth.

More than just an exhibition

Beyond the exhibition unveils a series of fun workshops and interactive seminars for visitors to fully immerse themselves in. At the Art & Lifestyle showcase, visitors can browse through an eclectic selection of contemporary art, crafts, furniture and a wide range of lifestyle products from Southeast Asia and beyond. What's more -- for the financially savvy visitor, seminars on art investment will be held at the Jewels Arena.

Australian artist, Emma Hack, only on opening day, is displaying her special body paint camouflage techniques on the SJGF showfloor. Working on a live model, Emma will meticulously hand paint a jewellery-themed design to blend her into the background. Following the body painting, the model will be decked in uniquely designed jewellery pieces from up-and-coming jewellery designers, Sara Sze Tan of An Order of Bling and Jonathan Yun of Chrysalis Jewels.

The Gem Jamming sessions, JewelTalk seminars, the Gem Rendezvous by The Gem Museum, and a special workshop on "Poetry of Enamelling" by Caratell, offer a myriad of opportunities for anyone with a desire to learn more about their favourite rocks.

For individuals keen to test their creativity, they can join the Design-Your-Ring competition at the event. With help from JDMIS ambassadors on the ground, visitors will be guided through the design process in 15 minutes.

To wind down from all the excitement, visitors can enjoy complimentary hot or cold cups of the 'Singapore Dream' -- a specially designed tea for SJGF by Tea Forté and Gifel Fine Teas. Be the first to have a taste at SJGF's Tea Bar!
