Automation & Digitalization
Automation & Digitalization projects should incorporate elements of Industry 4.0 (i.e. real-time data collection, statistical analysis and reporting) and/or make use of digital and/or cloud technologies to improve manufacturing efficiency and productivity. The funded projects should use any one of the following (but not limited to):
- Industrial automation (PLC, SCADA, robotics, IIoT, multi-brand HMI programming services, integration systems, etc.) for:
- Material handling
- Processing
- Packaging
- Inspection and testing
- Inventory management system;
- Cloud/Edge Computing Facilities for manufacturing;
- Production and manufacturing management model with digital technologies (MES, ERP, MRP);
- Smart maintenance management (Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning);
- Product life cycle and value chain management; and
- Other related activities that are part of the manufacturing process.
Note:
The Fund for Automation and Green Technology allows software subscription of maximum 2 years from project commencement, but does not cover the following:
- Purchase of automation equipment or system for investment in a new plant.
- Duplication of existing equipment.
