Established in 1995, Advantech Singapore has grown to become a pivotal hub in the ASEAN region, leading to the creation of Advantech Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam as key regional business units. Advantech envisions Singapore evolving into a Corporate Development Core Competency hub, focusing on business intelligence, strategic planning, and advancing branding, public relations, and ESG programmes across the ASEAN region."
Advantech is also excited to launch the second year of its AIoT Innowork programme with Singapore Polytechnic (SP). This year's projects will focus on sustainable development, net-zero emissions, and generative AI. Students will use Advantech's WISE-PaaS, a cloud-based platform, to develop AIoT solutions, including a smart outdoor agriculture proof-of-concept within SP's campus. Additionally, the programme will advance intelligent EV charging and parking space monitoring with Advantech's LoRaWAN gateway and generative AI, featuring a dashboard for carpark occupancy and an assistive chatbot for availability queries.
In response to the government's focus on future workforce development, a student team from SP is set to create a proof of concept for a "Generative AI-powered Virtual Sales Agent." This innovative project aims to transform customer interactions by enhancing sales and engagement through cutting-edge AI technology. SP envisions this technology revolutionising customer engagement, enhancing service support, and improving operational efficiency.
Advantech Singapore is dedicated to advancing the "MySkillsFuture" programme, a key initiative by the Singapore government to support lifelong learning. Advantech aims to build a collaborative value chain that fosters a sustainable and thriving IoT ecosystem by partnering with ecosystem players, academic institutions, and industry leaders. Additionally, through academic collaboration, Advantech seeks to cultivate industry growth and align with its social responsibility objectives by producing and distributing urban farming products to underserved communities. These strategic partnerships are poised to drive long-term industry success and reinforce Advantech's commitment to its ESG goals.
