Can Smart Manufacturing Truly Be ‘Smart’ Without Protecting Lone Workers?

Image
Smart manufacturing has the potential to provide highly responsive, data-driven, and efficient industrial environments, which is the promise of the technology. The more factories are interconnected, the less intelligence can be confined to machines alone; rather, it can be spread to the way people associate with systems, processes, and threats. When talking about Smart Manufacturing in Singapore , productivity and automation are the prominent topics, but the safety of the workers is a key factor that should not be overlooked, particularly the safety of the people who have to work on their own. The Core of Smart Manufacturing Smart manufacturing describes the digitisation of the manufacturing process via interconnectivity and intelligent automation. In this model: There is communication between machines Systems optimize themselves using data feedback Processes dynamically adapt to demand and conditions Nevertheless, human operators still play a major role in the management, maintenance,...

The Next-Gen Fire Protection Safety Systems Transforming Singapore’s High-Rise Landscape

As the skyline in Singapore keeps increasing, the challenges of safeguarding the high-rise buildings in Singapore have also increased. The need to have powerful and smart systems has never been higher. The high-rise buildings nowadays are much more advanced in fire protection than traditional sprinklers and fire hoses. Rather, there is an emergence of new integrated, technology-focused solutions redefining the way safety is conceptualized and provided in vertical communities - bringing in a new era of Fire Protection Safety in Singapore . Why Traditional Systems No Longer Suffice The high population density and vertical networking of Singapore generate their own challenges. Outdated fire suppression and detection systems are usually independent of each other and utilize simple smoke sensors or hand-operated alarm systems. This fragmented system creates gaps in the tall buildings of hundreds of occupants; the delay in response, poor communication and inadequate coverage. The larger and ...
