The launch of the US$3 million (S$4.1 million) facility in Pandan Crescent yesterday came as part of Emerson’s drive to make Singapore a hub for the delivery of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and services for customers across Asia-Pacific.
The centre features collaboration spaces that make use of multimedia technology, including augmented reality, where customers can get an immersive experience using Emerson’s technologies to operate and maintain the digital plant of the future, reported The New Paper.
It also houses two built-out plant settings. One of them, a scaled-down replica of a process manufacturing facility, simulates the processes of a typical plant, such as an oil refinery, and is equipped with Emerson’s digital solutions for process control and safety systems, and new industrial IoT technologies.
The centre is the latest addition to Emerson’s investment in automation technologies, services and engineering based in Singapore.
