Rolls-Royce, A*Star team up to champion smart manufacturing
Rolls-Royce, A*Star team up to champion smart manufacturing - Jan 10, 2017
The introduction and excerpts:
British engine giant Rolls-Royce and Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star) are teaming up to develop digital and data analytics capabilities for various industries here.
The two parties inked a memorandum of understanding yesterday to set up technology centres here that will focus on smart manufacturing and the Internet of Things (IOT).
_________________________________________________________________
The centres will also develop Future of Manufacturing capabilities, including advanced technologies and processes for manufacturing, assembly and maintenance, repair and overhaul applications.
This comes as the Committee on the Future Economy is slated to unveil its recommendations later this month, which are expected to include strategies for Singapore's manufacturing sector to stay competitive.
"Indeed, the future of manufacturing will be driven by Industry 4.0 technologies, such as the Internet of Things, additive manufacturing, digital manufacturing, robotics and advanced materials," A*Star chairman Lim Chuan Poh said at the signing ceremony.
"In this increasingly mobile, networked world, businesses that do not invest in digital capabilities will be disrupted."

"Our vision in this effort is that over a period of time, Singapore will become the leading hub in advanced manufacturing and technology," said Mr Lim.
"We don't have the land to have a lot of the manufacturing in Singapore but this will be where companies do the most interesting things, the latest.
"This will be where companies house their most advanced manufacturing activities, the most productive and the most efficient, and pilot them (processes or technologies) before rolling them out to their manufacturing facilities in other locations."
The new centres are part of Rolls-Royce's "focus on building up our digital capabilities and, with that, our (supporting) digital ecosystem", said chairman Ian Davis.
