Through collaborations with and Technology Roadmap (OTR) programme. This roadmap guided Singapore Institute of Manufacturing its transformation from being a producer of optics components to a Technology (SIMTech) of the Agency for manufacturer of high-value solutions. Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Over the years, Wavelength engaged SIMTech in many projects. A joint and other public agencies, relevant societies project to automate contact lens inspection system significantly increase the and communities, the company has transformed its business portfolio. From a single optics business, Wavelength moved up to focus on core optics to develop vision Artificial Intelligence inspection system today. Last November, Wavelength’s Optics Rapid Prototyping Centre was launched by Mr Robert Huang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Wavelength Opto-Electronic and Dr David Low, Executive Director, SIMTech. The event was witnessed by representatives from goverment agencies, trade association, partners and company staff. Wavelength’s achievements and commitment in Singapore during economics uncertainties are an inspiration to other industry leaders to initiate public-private partnerships to support the development of innovative products. Be inspired by Wavelength’s journey and its collaborations with SIMTech featured on the right.

PAST EVENTS Events were organised to engage the industry and forge partnerships MPTC Annual Conference 2019, 9 October The 9th edition of the Manufacturing Productivity Technology Centre (MPTC) Annual Conference 2019 was a success, attended by 400 guests from industry, trade associations, government agencies and the research community. The event theme, Digital Ecosystems: Accelerating Growth through Deep Partnerships, aims to generate awareness, understanding and showcase the benefits of building digital ecosystems through public-private partnerships. In his inaugural Welcome Remarks, Dr David Low, Executive Director, SIMTech, highlighted companies’ partnership journeys in productivity and digital transformation. Guest-of-Honour, Mr Suresh Sachi, Deputy Chief Executive, A*STAR, addressed the use of technology and innovation through R&D, talent development to build a skilled workforce for greater productivity and sustainable growth. One of the event highlights was the honouring of 22 companies with the Partners Recognition Award for their efforts and advancements in continuous transformation journey. The sharing by distinguished industry leaders such as Mr Jeremy Fong, CEO, Fong’s Engineering and Manufacturing and Mr Lim Hock Chee, CEO, Sheng Siong Group were well received by attendees. There was also a exhibition showing the Digital Transformation journey for companies, including techology & partners offered by MPTC to help companies to understand this complex and challenging topic better. Two public-private research collaboration partnerships were signed, namely on Cyber Physical Production Systems (CPPS) with Agilent Technology Singapore, Asterisk Computer (Far East), Philips Electronics (Singapore) and Teckwah Industrial Corporation. The other was with e-Genie Forum, a maritime supply services trade association, focusing on the use of Artificial Intelligence and blockchain technologies. A publication featuring anecdotal success stories of companies productivity & digital transformation journey was also launched. It hopes to inspire more companies to embark on such journeys. 10 MANUFACTURING MATTERS | January 2020
