What happened
Schneider Electric is investing S$25 million (c. £14.6m) to upgrade its Hub Asia distribution centre in Tuas, Singapore. The project, which is scheduled for completion by 2027, will introduce automation, robotics, and agentic AI to the facility's operations. The company reported that the first phase of a goods-to-person automation system has already gone live, leading to productivity improvements of about 10 percent.
Why it matters
The upgrade includes an upgraded warehouse management system that utilizes machine learning for inventory forecasts. Furthermore, S$19 million of the investment will be dedicated to recruitment and re-skilling, as the company plans to develop a team of 26 skilled employees to manage the new automated systems.
Schneider Electric operates in Singapore, and the Tripartite Workgroup supports senior workers.
