Strategic R&D Themes

The Singapore Manufacturing 2030 Vision envisions manufacturing becoming smarter, greener, and more connected. ARTC collaborates closely with public agencies, institutes of higher learning, and industry on four strategic R&D themes to support Singapore in becoming a strategic advanced manufacturing hub for the Singapore Manufacturing 2030 Vision.

The four themes are:

Advanced Manufacturing Process 

Advanced manufacturing processes use various technologies and techniques to create high-quality products with improved functionality. ARTC works on technological capabilities that tackle these areas: 

  • Design to manufacture with improved functionality 
  • Advanced powder characterisation methods 
  • Surface integrity enhancement by physical and mechanical surface engineering 
Additive Manufacturing Industrialisation

Autonomous Manufacturing

Autonomous manufacturing leverages on optimised imaging systems and robotic solutions to help businesses streamline their manufacturing processes and improve efficiency. To fully harness the power of autonomous manufacturing, we are working on technologies such as: 

A resilient value chain is critical for businesses to manage and mitigate risks and disruptions effectively. This approach involves several key components:

  • Intelligent Inspection based on Optimised Imaging Systems 
  • Design, Simulation and Optimisation of Robotic Work Cell and Line 
  • AR and VR for Manufacturing Applications

Resilient Value Chain 

A resilient value chain is critical for businesses to manage and mitigate risks and disruptions effectively. This approach involves several key components:

  • Supply Chain Connectivity 
  • Supply Network Configuration and Simulation 
  • Decision Support System to detect and respond to risk and disruptions 
Digital Supply Chain
Net Zero

Net Zero Manufacturing 

Climate change – an imperative for today. Aiming to build long-term resilience, greater trust with our industry partners for a better tomorrow, we are working on 4 key areas to transform and accelerate the decarbonisation transformation of manufacturing’s footprint:

  • In Service Smart Health Diagnostics 
  • Agile Disassembly Technologies for flexible and safe disassembly
  • Repair and Regenerative Technologies to extend service life and enhance performance
  • Smart Energy, Water and Waste Management
