The
A*STAR Model Factory at SIMTech features
an actual production environment where industry, academia and researchers work
together to co-innovate, translating research outcomes into industry ready
technologies. Leveraging integrated strategies for co-creation between
government agencies, research performers, and industry across the research
ecosystem, the Model Factory provides a platform to test-bed new capabilities towards
an era of Smarter, Greener, and More Connected manufacturing.
Towards our eventual
aim of achieving autonomous manufacturing, SIMTech has developed two programmes
supported by the MTC Industry Alignment Fund (Pre-Positioning) Scheme, namely:
To maximize value creation, integrated strategies are developed across the entire innovation value chain, drawing on the capabilities of stakeholders in the ecosystem, including government agencies, public research performers, universities and industry. SIMTech has developed two programmes supported by the Industry Alignment Fund (Pre-Positioning) Scheme, namely:
1. Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) [2019-2022]
Objective:
To develop intelligent and contextual decision support capabilities for
Cyber-Physical Production System (CPPS)
2. Distributed Smart Value Chain (DSVC) [2023-2026]
Objective:
To enable distributed smart value chain with decentralised manufacturing
supported by facilitative decision making and a flexible shopfloor.
