Exploring Business Operations with Technology in Singapore Pipe Making Industry: ERP PLUS AI Platforms

Even though the pipe-making industry is dealing with a lot of challenges, firms are embracing the transformation of technology with tools like the enterprise resource planning system (ERP) and artificial intelligence (AI). As a response, the manufacturers are creatively applying these technologies to optimize their operations, product innovation, and competitiveness in the market. In addition, a specific subsidy scheme is available to cover part of the expenses, which indeed is a plus for the firms.

Minimizing the Problems Faced by Pipe Making Industry

Staying at the top in the pipe manufacturing sector is a never-ending battle. Disruptions of the supply chain still exist, resulting in the unavailability of important raw materials and components which puts operational efficiency at risk. Embracing technology, on the other hand, is a key reason for the need of rapid shift in production CEOs to comply with the apps era- IoT, and MES. The issue gets complicated when the labor market is involved as a shortage of skilled labor not only affects work productivity but also hinders innovation. The level of regulatory compliance has risen considerably in the last few years, wherein the firms are expected to observe new rules on safety, emissions, and environmental sustainability concurrently. Another hurdle for the manufacturing industry is cost management, with an increase in operational and production costs ultimately hitting the margins. Thus, the machinery manufacturing industry is left to the quest of getting the best out of this situation by adapting to the multi-dimensional challenges.
