About the Programme
With the manpower crunch and increased personalisation required across production lines, demand for Automation 4.0 technologies is on the rise. Hence, Advanced Remanufacturing & Technology Centre (ARTC) is partnering with StartupX to recruit global, high-potential startups with solutions to tackle the following industry challenges.
Smart Packaging - How can we intelligently perform order picking and packaging in a smart, efficient, and accurate manner?
Smart Manufacturing - How might we optimize the planning of production lines so that it is flexible, agile, and sustainable in the long-run?
Smart Inspection - How might we automatically capture a 360-degree image of industrial manufacturing components sufficient enough for smart inspection?
Programme Highlights
Successful startups will have the opportunity to partner top global corporations (P&G, MiRXES, Omni Mold and Kennametal), leverage Singapore's government networks, resources and tools to drive solution development and adoption, and win up to S$50,000 in prize money.
