Discrete Manufacturing Opportunities with Industry 4.0 in 2021

24 February | 3.00pm - 4.30pm (SGT)

The manufacturing landscape has changed drastically in the past year as disruptions forced many stakeholders to relook and rethink what optimization means under conditions of ongoing uncertainty. Beyond achieving production outcomes and performance targets, factors like flexibility, capacity building, and resilience have also become increasingly important. This session will look at how stakeholders in discrete manufacturing sectors have responded by deploying Industry 4.0 technologies and solutions in light of their reflections on disruptions and uncertainties faced, and how these measures are enabling capacity building, resilience, and readiness for a sustained recovery in their business and operations.
