Panel Discussion | Achieving Best-In-Class Operations: How Singapore’s ecosystem supports manufacturers to scale AI-enabled transformation

Whether you’re an MNC or an SME, the path to AI-enabled operations raises the same questions — where to start, what to prioritise, and how to scale with confidence. This panel brings together Coca-Cola, (AI Adopter – SME), (AI Solution Provider) SMF, as well as senior management from EDB and EnterpriseSG, for a candid discussion on the real challenges companies face; as well as how Singapore is built to enable companies to overcome these challenges to achieve AI-enabled transformation.

1:55 pm – 2:05 pm

The Technologies Rewriting the Rulebook

2:05 pm – 2:40 pm
Panel Discussion

From Data to Action: Building Robot Intelligence for Manufacturing

Unlike digital AI, Physical AI must learn from interactions with the physical world. Building capable robots therefore requires robust pipelines for collecting, generating, managing and deploying robot data across different environments and applications.
This panel will examine the emerging ecosystem required to train and scale embodied AI. Panellists will discuss topics such as synthetic data, simulation, robot foundation models, vision-language-action models, domain-specific datasets, continuous learning and deployment in industrial settings. The discussion will also explore how technology providers, researchers and end-users can work together to build data flywheels that continuously improve robot intelligence while addressing the practical challenges of real-world deployment.
