Industry 4.0 experts to speak at conference next month

PETALING JAYA: The Industry 4.0 and Digitalisation conference which will be organised next month, is expected to be an important knowledge-sharing platform with regard to Malaysia’s human capital development for the fourth industrial revolution.

The two-day event which will be jointly organised by Talent Development (M) Sdn Bhd and Malaysian Institute of Management (MIM), will include insightful presentations and discussions with experts on Industry 4.0.

The conference will feature international speakers from established organisations including Bosch, Siemens, Mc Kinsey and FESTO.

“Product manufacturing is going through a major overhaul due to ground-breaking innovations of recent times. Unfortunately, only a handful of Malaysian companies have the intention to invest in automation and control systems which would render them ready for the future.

“A resolution will be offered by this conference to help shape the industrial revolution in Malaysia by ensuring that companies are getting ready to be industry 4.0 compliant,” said the conference organisers in a statement.

Over 500 delegates are expected to participate in the conference to be held on Sept 4 and Sept 5, 2017 at Sunway Putra Hotel.
