Get Ready for Industry 4.0 with Gardner Denver's iConn Smart Flow Management

SINGAPORE,June 20,2019 -- Determined not to fall behind developed nations in both innovation and technology adoption,Southeast Asian nations are working hard to roll out 5G mobile networks. The technology acts as a backbone to a range of consumer and business focused digital services,such as autonomous vehicles,digital payments,and augmented reality. With companies like Grab,Southeast Asia's most valuable start-up,extending their businesses across the region from transport to food delivery and payments solutions,it's clear that large multinational companies are taking notice of the region's in technologies such as 5G.

Southeast Asia's willingness to embrace new technology has also extended to the Industrial landscape via what is globally known as "Industry 4.0" or the "Fourth Industrial Revolution". Using data and machine learning to augment existing systems and processes,Industry 4.0 aims to create "smart" factories; turning existing physical systems and machines into the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT),and allowing them to simultaneously communicate both with each other as well as operators in real time. The result? Smart factories where systems can make decentralized decisions and further optimize processes to maximize output,efficiency,and uptime.
