In partnership with Experia Events, the Singapore Industrial
Automation Association sets its sights on boosting the robotics
solutions industry with this strategic global platform for
innovation and technology
SINGAPORE, Oct 18, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - The
first Singapore International Robo Expo (SIRE), organised by
Experia Events and co-organised by the Singapore Industrial
Automation Association (SIAA), will be held from 1 to 2 November
2016, at Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands.
Themed Forging the Future of Robotics Solutions, SIRE will comprise
an exhibition, product demonstrations, networking sessions and
conferences. SIRE aims to be the global platform for governments,
the private sector and the academia to engage in dialogues, share
industry best practices, network, forge partnerships, and explore
funding opportunities for the adoption of robotics solutions.
"SIRE debuts at a time when robotics has been gaining traction in
the world due to the need for automation and better productivity.
The latest World Robotics Report by the International Federation of
Robotics has also identified Singapore as a market with one of the
highest robot density in manufacturing - giving us more
opportunities for further development in this field, and well as
its extension into the services sectors.
With the S$450 million pledged by the Singapore government to the
National Robotics Programme to develop the industry over the next
three years, SIRE is aligned with these goals to cultivate the
adoption of robotics and support the growing industry. As an
association, we are constantly looking for ways to bring together
robotic adoption, collaboration among partners, and providing
support with funding for our members. SIRE is precisely the
strategic platform for this," said Mr Oliver Tian, President,
SIAA.
SIRE has attracted strong interest from institutes of higher
learning (IHLs), research institutes, local and international
enterprises, with innovation and technology applicable for a vast
range of industries from manufacturing to healthcare.
ST Kinetics, the Title Sponsor for the inaugural edition of the
event, is one of the key exhibitors, together with other leading
industry players such as ABB, Murata, Panasonic, SICK Pte Ltd, and
Tech Avenue amongst others. Emerging SMEs such as H3 Dynamics,
Design Tech Technologies and SMP Robotics Singapore will also
showcase their innovations at the exhibition. Participating
research institute, A*STAR's SIMTech, and other IHLs supporting the
event include Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Republic Polytechnic and the
Institute of Technical Education (ITE).
Visitors will also be able to view "live" demonstrations at the
Demo Zone and come up close with the latest innovations and
technologies. Some of the key highlights at the zone includes the
world's only fully autonomous outdoor security robot developed by
SMP Robotics Singapore, as well as ABB's Yumi, IRB 14000, a
collaborative robot designed to work in close collaboration and
proximity with humans safely. Dynamic Stabilization Systems,
SIMTech and Design Tech will also be demonstrating the capabilities
of their robotic innovations at the zone.
At the Singapore International Robo Convention, key speakers
representing regulators, industry leaders and academia will come
together, exchange insights and engage in discourse to address the
various aspects of robotic and automation technology, industry
trends and case studies of robotics solutions. There will also be a
session discussing the details of the Singapore National Robotics
Programme led by Mr Haryanto Tan, Head, Precision Engineering
Cluster Group, EDB Singapore.
SIRE will also host the France-Singapore Innovation Days in
collaboration with Business France, the national agency supporting
the international development of the French economy. The
organisation will lead a delegation of 20 key French companies to
explore business and networking opportunities with Singapore firms,
and conduct specialized workshops.
To further foster a deeper appreciation and to inspire the next
generation of robotics and automation experts, the event will also
host students from higher institutes of learning on Education Day
on 2 November. Students will be able to immerse themselves in the
exciting developments of the robotics industry and get a sampling
of how robotics can be applied to real-world settings by visiting
the exhibits and interacting with representatives from
participating companies.
Mr Leck Chet Lam, Managing Director, Experia Events, says, "SIRE
will be a game changer for the industry. We are expecting the
industry's best and new-to-market players to showcase their
innovations, which could potentially add value to the operations
across a wide spectrum of industry sectors, from manufacturing to
retail and service, and healthcare. We also hope to inspire the
robotics and automation experts of tomorrow with our Education Day
programme.
Experia Events prides itself as a company that organises strategic
events for the global stage, featuring thought leaders and working
with the industries' best. It is an honour for us to be partnering
SIAA, a recognised body and key player in the robotics industry. We
are privileged to be able to help elevate Singapore's robotics
industry through SIRE and are pulling out all stops to ensure that
the event will be a resounding success."
