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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
