Digitisation: Future-proofing in focus this summer

This ever-increasing industrial gas revolution in strategies, operations and applications will be in focus this June as gasworld stages its Future-Proofing Industrial Gases Summit 2019in Singapore.

To be held at the Orchard Hotel, Singapore from 25th-26th June, the event will focus on the wave of digitisation and automation sweeping through the industry as a result of Industry 4.0 – arguably one of the single biggest megatrends it faces.

Digitisation and new ways of doing business are challenging the accepted business models in the industry, from the virtual reality (VR) technologies enhancing plant maintenance and understanding to the automation of filling plants, through to growing influence of e-commerce in industrial gas purchasing strategies.

All of which pose questions of the way the industry does business in the years ahead, as well as the human capital at stake and how to effectively reconcile the current core pillars with the inevitable success factors of tomorrow.

gasworld’s Future-Proofing Industrial Gases Summitwill tackle all of these questions and more, through a selection of pointed panel session and insightful speakers – allowing for progressive debate and engaging networking opportunities. Topics will include: 

• Plant automation and mechanisation
• Virtual reality/augmented reality
• E-commerce
• Industrial IoT solutions
• Telematics

The event will deliver a final session devoted to future supply chains for industrial and specialty gases, examining the dynamics in both markets in the Asia-Pacific region and what to expect in the years ahead.

As part of this session, delegates will also learn about the growing market for helium in China and what effect this is having on the global helium business.

All of which should enable delegates to leave Singapore with enhanced understanding the trends and technologies likely to shape their business activities and strategies in the future.

As well as holding the summit content programme, a table top exhibition will further inform and educate delegates through then sharing of latest technologies and practices from key technology innovators.
