Advanced 5G Industry 4.0 Studio opens in Singapore

The studio will test the business applications of AI and 5G technology.

Singapore's first 5G industry 4.0 studio is now open.

In a statement, IBM announced the launch of the IBM Industry 4.0 Studio, the project it has been working with Samsuing Electronics, M1, and the Infocomm Media Development Authority. It opened on 16 March.

The studio will host Singpore's first 5G industry 4.0 trial, testing its applications to the manufacturing sector whilst optimising the performance of 5G technology for industrial use.

The studio will focus on visual recognition solutions, acoustic insights, augmented reality, automated guided vehicles, artificial intelligence, container-based applications, and 5G end-to-end solutions.

IBM expects full-fleged 5G standalone capability to cover at least half of the city-state by 2022.

"5G presents an enormous opportunity for enterprises to drive new value and transform their operations to harness the next era of industrial connectivity... It is crucial these businesses have an opportunity to test and evaluate these technological investments, and we are committed to working shoulder to shoulder with them to ensure they make the best decisions that will truly propel their businesses forward,” IBM APAC general manager Brenda Harvey said in a statement.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
