Navigating the world of tech
See how these three TechOffers bring sensor and positioning systems to the forefront
From fingerprint scanners to navigation kiosks, an increasing number of electronic devices are being deployed to manage facilities and indoor spaces. Many of these devices carry sensors that detect changes in the environment, which can be used for detection or in positioning systems.
The clear benefits of open innovation
Collaborating with research institutions has helped precision optics company Wangi Industrial to deepen their competitive advance, says Vice President Chew Ker Yee.
At RIE Industry Day 2019, a panel of experts shared their insights on how businesses can effectively tap on partnerships with public research institutions to stay ahead of the curve in Industry 4.0.
What innovation teams need to know and do
Introspection, extrospection, technical ability and interaction skills are critical for implementing effective open innovation strategies in organisations.
Getting ahead with AI and IoT
Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, companies can streamline their operations and create value for their clients.
If there’s one thing that organisations crave more than anything in the modern digital economy, it’s data. By collecting and analysing data, companies can optimise their processes, monitor and adapt to changes in consumer behaviour, as well as take a predictive approach towards managing their resources.
When a Singapore company that distributes smart waste bins met a Finnish firm that produces wall robots that clean building exteriors at a technology matching event co-organised by IPI and the Helsinki Business Hub, the two were drawn to each other. Their focus on smart products meant they could collaborate on research and innovation.
Bringing customised IoT solutions to the industry masses
For many companies, designing an Internet of Things (IoT) solution from scratch can be a time-consuming process, but an off-the-shelf solution is often too pricey. Lynxemi’s plug-and-play modular platform strikes a balance between the two. Its Chief Executive Officer, Paymon Rasekhy, discusses the importance of open innovation.
Bringing clean water to the masses with open innovation
The sharing and co-development of synergistic water purification techniques will help secure the world's supply of clean, drinkable water, says Bashir Ahmad, CEO of Liquinex Group.
Functionalising surfaces with novel materials
There's no sugar coating it - dirty walls and windows are unsightly. These three TechOffers could help keep buildings spick and span.
The gecko’s foot is often referenced as an inspiration for self-cleaning materials. Minute structures on the reptile’s soles and toes allow it to adhere to vertical surfaces, but unlike tape that has fallen on sand, the gecko’s feet do not accumulate dirt and lose their stickiness over time.
Keeping up with innovation in the year ahead
Get up to speed with the latest tech trends
The start of a new year can bring both hope and anxiety, especially as disruptive innovation remains the only certainty in the foreseeable future. Keeping abreast of tech-related trends across a wide swathe of industries can help business owners and innovators better position themselves to ride a rising tide or avoid potential pitfalls. In no particular order, we’ve put together a list of five tech trends to watch as the year unfolds.
