Time: 4.40pm - 5pm SGT

With the success of the Smart Industry Readiness Index, companies are now struggling with the understanding of how to structure a solid and a sustainable transformation within the digital space. Many of the digital initiatives have been started without a data end to end integration approach, but with KPIs set in silos. The ultimate goal of achieving a Digital twin relies into approaches based on integration, safety and security, reliability and sustainability.
