[CLIENT INTERVIEW]
I remember our first meeting with IPI at Singapore International Water Week in 2012. At the time, Pioneer Environmental Technology (Pioneer) was looking for a partner to evaluate the performance of ceramic membranes, found in our filtration systems for solid-liquid and liquid-liquid separation. Our company specialises in products and services for water and wastewater treatment, including the provision of unique software and hardware, turnkey waste treatment and recovery solutions, and related equipment.
The ambition to automate an extremely labour-intensive building process saw Fabrica.AI working with IPI tech expert Mr Garrick Soon. Their goal: an improved robot prototype that could speed up the laying of floor tiles while lowering construction costs.
Transforming healthcare through digital innovation
Diagnosis and treatment are increasingly delivered by innovative apps and devices as digitalisation and personalisation take centre stage in modern healthcare.
With innovation at the core of what they do, Singaporean packaging companies play a crucial role in ushering in a plastic-free future.
From smartphone cases to wrapping papers and face masks, plastics have become an inseparable and integral part of our daily lives. However, the very feature that had made plastics so attractive that they were regarded as a wonder material is causing difficulties for disposal and recycling: their durability.
Harnessing data for industry operations
In today’s world where data is considered the new oil, digital technology has fuelled the disruption of a variety of sectors. While media and telecommunications were some of the first to reap the benefits of digitalisation, manufacturing is poised to transform with the advent of data-driven innovations.
