Smart Manufacturing World
Powering the Next Era of Intelligent Manufacturing & Sustainability
Event Overview
According to 6Wresearch, “Thailand smart manufacturing sector has been on an upward trajectory, embracing advanced technologies such as automation, robotics, IoT (Internet of Things), and artificial intelligence (AI). The country`s commitment to developing its manufacturing capabilities and the government`s "Thailand 4.0" initiative, which promotes the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, have catalyzed the growth of smart manufacturing.
Thai manufacturers are increasingly leveraging data analytics and real-time monitoring to optimize their operations. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the importance of resilient and flexible supply chains, further driving the adoption of smart manufacturing solutions.
Thailand strategic location as a regional manufacturing hub further supports the growth of smart manufacturing. Additionally, the government`s policies and incentives to promote Industry 4.0 and digital transformation are encouraging companies to invest in smart manufacturing solutions
The sector, which accounts for 25% of GDP, is heavily incentivized by the Board of Investment (BOI), with China surpassing Japan as a leading investor, particularly in the Eastern Economic Corridor
