7th Industrial Transformation Program ASIA- PACIFIC (ITAP) – HANNOVER MESSE event, organized by Constellar and international partner Deutsche Messe, will take place from October 14-16, 2024 Singapore EXPO. Against the backdrop of national policies driving Artificial Intelligence (AI) development and industry adoption 1 in order to maintain long-term business and environmental sustainability, this year’s event will focus on the transformative potential of AI in improving productivity. As a technology provider, AI improves resources and processes to achieve ESG goals while balancing business growth and environmental sustainability. AI-driven solutions improve efficiency and productivity, improve workplace safety, reduce waste, and help align manufacturing operations with sustainability goals, paving the way for a greener future.
ITAP is the region’s leading exhibition for manufacturing solutions, and a launch pad for innovation. This year will feature more than 400 products and solutions exhibitors from more than 30 countries, including leading industry players such as Amazon Web Services, Azbil Corp., Delta Electronics, Jungheinrich Singapore, Red Hat, SAP, Siemens, and many others. Regional and national flyers from China, Germany, Hong Kong SAR, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and the UK will also promote cross-border networking, collaboration and information exchange in a vibrant single marketplace.
Launch of the First Industry White Paper Detailing AI Discovery
ITAP 2024 will launch the first industry-focused white paper, “Regenerative Manufacturing — Unlocking ASEAN Growth through Design and AI,” developed in collaboration with Kearney. The first of its kind aimed at accelerating the technological transformation of ASEAN’s manufacturing industries, more than 350 mid-to-senior managers across various manufacturing industries, including CxO-level managers, participated in surveys and interviews. The white paper explores how product design and integration solutions enabled by AI can It has opened up renewable manufacturing, which provides ASEAN manufacturers with a compelling path to rapid growth.
The white paper identifies key trends for manufacturers in the region to capture growth opportunities, providing possible steps to start remanufacturing. For example, nearly 60% of respondents identified AI investment as the most common productivity factor, followed by a focus on ESG and long-term sustainability at nearly 50%. The measures highlighted in the whitepaper aim to balance profitability and environmental sustainability, helping producers to transform long-term growth. The white paper also presents case studies from industries where innovation processes will be important.
“There is a great opportunity for ASEAN manufacturers to capture US$1.2 trillion in growth, and companies must ensure that they are well positioned for this. The journey to innovation will be an iterative one, evolving through continuous learning and adaptation. As a trusted advisor to leading companies around the world, Kearney is proud to drive transformational impact through Regenerative Manufacturing,” said Mr. Keat Yap, Asia-Pacific Co-Lead, Operations and Performance, Kearney.
A detailed sharing of the White Paper will be done by report authors Keat Yap, Partner and Young Han Koh, Principal, both from Kearney at 11.40 am on Day 1 at the Industrial Transformation Forum (ITF).
