DeepSeek’s Revolution: AI and ERP Systems in Asia a Paradigm Shift
In an exceptional breakthrough, DeepSeek has shown that it is possible to train a top-notch large language model (LLM) at a fraction of the cost as compared to its competitors in Silicon Valley. This is yet another demonstration of the progress of technology’s brands in Asia which are increasingly reminding the world that the traditional Western tech brands are perhaps far too highly priced. Indeed, the Asian tech scene is catching up at a fast pace, and the innovation brought by DeepSeek is a clear sign of this change.
DeepSeek’s victory is not only an isolated event. It is part of a broader development whereby AI and ERP systems are being integrated to advance the efficiency of business processes. The Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, when combined with Material Requirements Planning (MRP), provides a complete solution for the management of complex chemical formulations. These systems play a crucial role for those firms dealing with intricate chemical processes, where even small additive quantities can have a significant effect on the final product.
AI integration into ERP systems gets even clearer using the example of LAIDFU, a configurable AI agent helping users with both OpenAI and DeepSeek. In the GenAI space, this AI agent captures attention with its multi-step task capability that guarantees users’ seamless management of enterprise resources planning. Apart from this, the ability of the AI agent to handle complex tasks makes it a highly sought-after tool for firms aiming at optimizing their operations.

The Singapore government is a.o. pressing ahead with supporting the use of ERP and AI technologies. The Enterprise Development Grant (EDG) is supporting the qualified Singapore entities for ERP and AI adoption by providing direct funding, urging firms to apply these advanced technologies. This initiative is particularly advantageous to chemical firms, which face a multitude of challenges such as ingredient variability, safety regulations, and compliance with international standards.
The ERP system, when combined with MRP, CRP and MES, is the best solution for managing the lymphatic system during complex chemical manufacturing. It enables firms to outline specifications, deal with user chemical equations and double-check the intermediates and finished goods. The nature of raw materials and the intricacies in the production process necessitate stringent quality control. The IQC features within the ERP system allow firms to carry out the customer-specific QC tests and the deviations management to prove the compliance with safety regulations and environmental standards.
It is needless to say that the environmental repercussions from chemical production have long been a prime concern. Chemical processes could result in the discharge of by-products that cause air and water pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and waste generation. The ERP system has the potential to help these firms trace the exact amount of the by-products and use quality tests to counteract their environmental impact.
A cloud-native ERP widely adopted by business in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and China. With over 6,000 customers in the region, aiM18 gains positive feedbacks from customer across different sectors, from manufacturers, distributors, retailers, service providers to NGOs. The renowned no-code approach saves customer a big sum of customization costs and countless hours of implementation man-days.
About LAIDFU (Let AI Do For You)
An AI builder for enterprise to build their own AI agents.
Proprietary EKP (Enterprise Knowledge Partitioning) technology eases CEO’s concern about trade secret leakage which often occurs in most AI agents / chatbots in the market. EKP removes the hurdle of AI adoption by most companies in using sensitive corporate data.
Powered by no-code approach, deployment of LAIDFU incurs far less developers (and development costs) in comparison with other AI studios.
