Press Release:
"Infocomm technology will change manufacturing here"
By Chen Huifen , Business Times, 4 Dec 2003
INFOCOMMUNICATION technology will transform Singapore's manufacturing sector in the next five to 10 years, according to Singapore Industrial Automation Association (SIAA) president Colin Koh.
More manufacturers will need to adopt infocomm in their distribution networks as a result of globalisation.
'Because of globalisation, a lot of manufacturing firms have distributed their supply chains in different locations,' Mr Koh told BT.
'Sharing of information and upgrading of skills and knowledge have always been important priorities of SIAA,' he said. 'These goals have become more significant for the automation and logistics industries in recent times due to the transformation of Singapore's manufacturing landscape into a digital manufacturing hub.'
