EY-Mint Emerging Technologies Report 2019.
Una gran cantidad de tecnologías emergentes está dando forma a nuestras vidas, posiblemente a un ritmo de cambio nunca antes visto en la historia. Habilitado por el poder de cómputo barato y el acceso a grandes conjuntos de datos, las máquinas ya están haciendo un mejor trabajo que los humanos en varias áreas. Esta "inteligencia" se está alejando de las granjas de servidores centrales hacia dispositivos y cosas que pronto se convertirán en parte de nuestra vida cotidiana. Estos dispositivos potencialmente negociarán su propio camino en nuestro mundo a través de "contratos inteligentes" y sin una intervención humana significativa. La información perceptiva superpuesta sobre estos objetos del mundo real nos ayudará a salir de los dispositivos móviles que han captado nuestra atención en este mundo posterior a Internet. Lo que parece único en este momento actual es la rápida adopción de muchas de estas tecnologías habilitadoras y su potencial para trabajar juntos para cambiar nuestras vidas.
The report is based on the automation process in the emerging world. As the world is growing towards the automation process, all these industries are utilizing the benefits of automation in the working process. With the help of a new automation technique, the working procedures are performing very fast and effectively. To use automation we just need a computer or a system. Some artificial software tools are there that need to be installed in the computers so the machine can perform the task. It gives us the benefit of fast operations. So automation and digital technology also be a blessing for total countries as they could conduct to receive in productivity which is finally the driver of improvement Ragavendra. K. (2020).

COVER STORY
Emerging technological trends
impacting machinery industry
T
hailand is at the heart of one of the world’s major manufacturing
zones, with ASEAN accounting for 5% of global manufacturing in
terms of value-added. As a regional trade hub with a well-diversified
economy, Thailand’s manufacturing sector remains a core industry for the
country, and its machinery industry plays a crucial supporting role in driving
growth in manufacturing and in the overall economy.
Thailand’s machinery and parts manufacturing industry has seen
substantial growth in recent years. According to Thailand’s Department of
Industrial Works, Ministry of Industry, in 2016 there were 4,458 factories in
Thailand producing machinery and parts and almost 250,000 workers in
the industry. Exports of machinery and parts rose 15.2% annually between
2010-2016.
Technology trends in manufacturing
Worldwide, the manufacturing industry is being transformed by innovation
and technological advancements. The designs, systems, and processes of
modern factories around the world are undergoing rapid changes, and
machinery manufacturers, especially in Thailand, need to embrace these
changes in order to stay competitive. Doing so will help them improve
productivity in their operations, and provide their customers, who may be
implementing their own innovations, with a competitive edge.
The “data-driven factory of the future”, in which all internal and external
activities in the production facility are connected in real-time on the same,
easily accessible platform, is well on its way to becoming a reality. This
concept is being driven by four technology trends:
Internet of Things (IoT): While the IoT has received media attention
for its use in the home (connected refrigerators, lights, etc), the real value of
this breakthrough technology will be in factories. Utilizing the power of the

Internet to connect assembly and
manufacturing machines, office computers
and devices, and essential stakeholders
(executives, operators, suppliers, and
customers), IoT can provide real-time data
that will increase production, labor utilization,
and output efficiencies. Manufacturers
preparing to invest in IoT technology will need
to evaluate and select essential data streams,
train workers capable of operating this next-
generation equipment, and hire specialists
who can analyze and evaluate the “big data”
and the output from the factory floor.
Companies like Toyota Tsusho Electronics
(Thailand) have already begun using IoT, such
as Amazon Web Services (AWS), to analyze
data for the company’s 50,000 trucks and
10,000 taxis in the country. Meanwhile, state-
run energy giant, PTT, has invested heavily in
the IoT and digitization in order to increase
production efficiencies and reduce costs.
Automation and Robotics: Automation
and robotics have also received significant
media coverage in the past few years. But
concerns about full automation and the loss of
“human creativity” has led to the development
of a concept called, “cobotics”, in which
robots “complement” rather than replace
humans. Early implementations of this concept
have been focused in the automotive and
aerospace industries, but as new technology
that allows for greater operational integration
between robots and humans develops,
“cobotics” will spread quickly to other
industries. Thai Beverage Group (ThaiBev) and
Charoen Pokphand (C.P.), two of Southeast
Asia’s biggest F&B conglomerates, have
recently announced plans to develop robots
and automated production technology and
machinery, in line with the Thailand 4.0 policy.
The International Federation of Robotics
reports that 2.32 million robots will be used
around the world this year, while in Thailand,
41,600 robots will be used in 2017.
3D Printing: 3D printing offers
manufacturers a variety of cost and time
saving uses that eliminate the constraints of
economies of scale. Currently, manufacturers
are using 3D printing (also known as “additive
manufacturing”) in product development, the
production of prototypes, and to dramatically
reduce the design-to-production timeframe.
But the possibilities of 3D printing for
manufacturers going forward are significant.
Everything from the production of highly
specialized, low-volume products and parts,
to creating tools for the molding, forming or
casting of products and parts could be
implemented through 3D printing. The global
3D printing market is expected to be worth
THB 682 billion (US$20 billion) by 2020. In late
2015, Cal-Comp Electronics (Thailand) Plc and
Taiwan’s Kinpo Group established a 50-50
venture, XYZ Thailand, to manufacture 3D
printers in Thailand. Globally, XYZ Printing
sold 80,000 3D printers in 2016, and expects
to sell 130,000-150,000 3D printers in 2017.
Augmented Reality (AR): The
mainstream view of AR is that its primary
applications are in gaming, and virtual
experience (i.e. travel). But like other emerging
technologies, AR has a definite application in
manufacturing, where operators can use AR
goggles on the factory floor to perform
complex tasks and jobs, and get immediate
feedback about potential quality and accuracy
issues. Safety and training, maintenance, and
inventory tracking are among the other uses
for AR technology. Property giants, Sansiri and
Ananda Development, have recently started
investing in “proptech” startups that use
technology solutions like digitization and
augmented reality to solve urban living
problems.
By making strategic investments in these
emerging technologies now, machinery and
parts manufacturers will have a significant
jump on their competition, and will avoid the
kinds of disruptions that have plagued
established players in other industries.

SHORT ARTICLE
T
echnological advances are creating a
new era of automation as companies
increase their use of automated
machines and robots in order to remain
competitive in the global manufacturing arena.
While the evolution of machinery towards
automation is in progress, its full adoption will
take some time. Factors that will affect the
extent of this adoption are classified into four
main areas.
First, the feasibility of adopting new
technologies, both technically and financially,
is the key challenge in this development.
Important technologies that are invented need
to be adapted into solutions that automate
specific activities. Also, developing
automation technologies takes capital and
usually requires high initial costs compared to
wages. One of the largest examples is
Amazon, the world’s e-commerce giant which
has aggressively shifted from using people in
its warehouses to automated robots. The
company now has 45,000 robots working in
their warehouses, a 50% increase from last
year to cope with the increasing demand in
e-commerce and to overcome increasing
wages.
Second, labor market dynamics such as
the supply, demand and cost of labor will
affect the adoption rate of automation. Japan
is now facing the highest proportion of
working seniors among developed countries.
According to the Statistics Bureau of Japan,
the number of workers older than 65 is
calculated at 21.7 % of its total population.
This shift is creating an acute shortage in the
labor supply in the manufacturing sector,
therefore creating a space for automation to
be adopted. Thailand, though not in as urgent
a predicament as Japan, will nonetheless
follow a similar shift with its ageing population.
Currently, Thais older than 65 account for 9.7%
in 2015, and this rate is set to grow further.
Moving towards
an automated world
Third, automation can also provide
economic benefits such as an increased
quality of work and safety as well as labor
cost-saving. Significant benefits like
decreases in the accident rate by using
automation could go far beyond labor
substitution. According to the Social Security
Office of Thailand, accidental rates in food
factories have shown a significant decrease
from 9,080 instances in 2010 to 4,534 in
2015, a reduction of 13% annually. Increased
use of automated machines, as is the case
among companies such as Charoen
Pokphand (C.P.) and ThaiBev, in automated
production lines could further improve
safety.
Fourth, regulatory and social acceptance
could take time as people transition with the
adoption of new technologies where
machines replace human interaction in some
settings such as hospitals or basic medical
care. CT Asia is the first Thai company to
manufacture commercially serviced robots,
called Dinsow. In 2014, the company
released its third-generation Dinsow robots
which focus on taking of the elderly
population and became the first Thai robot
to be exported to Sweden and Japan. CT
Asia Robotics continues to partner with Thai
and Japanese hospitals and expects to sell
more than 1,000 Dinsow Minis this year.
Taking all of these factors into account,
the role of automation will further change
and expand in this new era, where machines
are required to increase productivity and
safety as well as to deal with labor shortages.
Thailand, as a production hub for many
machinery and parts for local consumption
and exports, is strategically positioned to
adapt to such technologies and advance the
levels of automation and robotics in various
businesses including food, agriculture, and
medical services.

Thailand’s robust human resources
With 76 universities and 83 vocational schools,
Thailand produced approximately 56,231
graduates from engineering and related
courses in 2016. The country has plenty of
highly skilled engineers and researchers
entering this fast growing market.
According to Mr. Chaiyot, ABB believes
the country provides strong competencies
in human resources, with employees who
are able to absorb and manage the complex
technologies from abroad, and work
effectively on day-to-day operations with
support from ABB Group. As a result, with
more than 1,000 employees, ABB Thailand
relies on a workforce which is more than
95% Thai.
Patkol has over 300 engineers and 1,000
technicians with a strong foundation to design
the machines for its own patents as well
as providing the important services needed
to serve its customers as a competitive
manufacturing base.
Confident in the future of Thailand
As the country focuses on enhancing its
competitiveness, there will be increased
opportunities for machinery and automation
companies to play an important role in further
strengthening the Thai manufacturing sector
as it continues to advance. ABB, KUKA, and
Patkol are confident in investing for a better
future with greater solutions in an increasingly
dynamic market in Thailand.
Government and BOI are playing
a crucial role
As one of the government’s targeted
industries, the Thai government and education
centers are providing continuous support
to develop the machinery industry. Thailand
offers various resources for research and
development and human resources training
such as the Institute of Field Robotics (FIBO),
King Mongkut’s University of Technology,
Thonburi, and the Center for Biomedical and
Robotics Technology, Mahidol University.
The Board of Investment (BOI) recognizes
the importance of the machinery sector
and offers attractive incentives to encourage
the industry’s growth and development. BOI
investment incentives for machinery Industry
in Thailand include a tax exemption on
import duties on machinery, an exemption
of corporate income tax for up to 8 years,
and an additional 5-year 50% reduction of
corporate income tax on net profit.
KUKA, a newcomer to Thailand in 2015,
is one of the world’s leading suppliers of
intelligent automation solutions. Mr. Martin
Wenzel, Chief Executive Officer of KUKA
Thailand, said that strong production in the
Thai food and beverage, and consumer goods
sectors has created a huge demand for
robots and machinery. The company helps
clients in designing and operating complete
solutions of scalable, flexible, and effective
manufacturing processes. The company has
thus far generated more than 50% of its total
revenues from the food and beverage, and
consumer goods industries in Thailand.
Patkol PLC is a leading Thai company in
food machinery and has been operating for
more than 50 years. Given Thailand’s strong
agricultural sector, the company plays as an
important role in strengthening the value chain
from the agricultural to value-added food
processing industries. As many companies
strive to increase their competitiveness as
well as labor cost-savings, Thailand’s food
machinery industry is growing at a solid pace,
said Mr. Sangchai Chotechuangchutchaval,
President of Patkol PLC.
The emergence of CLMV
creates huge opportunities
Acting as a gateway to ASEAN given its
strategic location, together with its readiness
in infrastructure, Thailand has considerable
potential to be a manufacturing hub and to
serve the large and growing market demand
in neighboring countries, dubbed CLMV. ABB,
KUKA, and Patkol are just three examples
of companies that are using Thailand as a
manufacturing hub for the region.
ABB Thailand plays a vital role in Southeast
Asia. The production base is the largest in the
region and the company is also responsible
for operations in Cambodia, Laos and
Myanmar.
As noted by Mr. Wenzel at KUKA, he
believes that there are huge opportunities to
tap into the food and beverage sector in
CLMV as the import growth rate for these
countries is at 27% annually. This rapid
growth presents profitable opportunities for
the Thai food and beverage sector which
acts as the main exporter to these countries.
With growing demand in ASEAN, Patkol
aims to increase its exports to ASEAN with
growth in the company’s portfolio expected to
more than double from 20% to 50% through
its medium-term strategy which aims to use
Thailand as a production hub in the region.

demand in agricultural machinery.
Today, as the industry is moving towards
increased efficiency and productivity, and
modern farming technology has the potential
to capture substantial market growth for
the company, estimated at roughly 90% of
the company’s product portfolio. Mr. Opart
Dhanvarjor, Senior Executive Vice President
“Thailand is
KUBOTA’s
leading
manufacturing
hub for
agricultural
machinery
production and
an export hub
to ASEAN.”
Mr. Opart Dhanvarjor
A driving force in the
Thai agricultural industry
of SIAM KUBOTA Corporation stressed that
the company is working hard to design its
products to be assimilated with market trends
that utilize farming machinery to increase
productivity. With Thailand’s abundance of
natural resources, one of the successful
product strategies is in implementing designs
that can adapt and fit to various types of crops
such as rice, sugarcane, cassava and maize.
The company has achieved a strong growth
rate from these products.
Service is another factor in achieving
assurance and satisfaction from customers.
Mr. Opart said that the company provides the
best service for maintenance and repairs. The
company has over 200 service centers, within
accessible distances of 50 km, in the country
to support and facilitate its customers.
KUBOTA in step with Thailand’s
agricultural development
Aiming to grow further with Thai farmers in
achieving effective agricultural processes, SIAM
KUBOTA has set up a promising knowledge-
sharing platform through “KUBOTA (Agri)
Solutions” (KAS). The solutions are designed
to support farmers for all process starting
from land preparation, planting, maintenance
and harvesting including logistics. As a result,
farmers can get the maximum benefit from
higher productivity and cost reductions to
further enhance their competitiveness in world
markets.
Today, the average rice yield in Thailand
is around 450 kg/rai. The government has
targeted a yield of 600 kg/rai by the end
of 2022. For sugarcane, the gap between
Thailand and the world’s average yield is
still large, from 9.15 to 20 tons/rai. With
KAS, farmers can achieve better yields by
enhancing their productivity. Working with
agriculture community, SIAM KUBOTA sent
out specialists to assist and teach modern
farming technologies and KAS to farmers
from seeding to harvesting through-out the
entire value chain. The solutions are focused
on increasing productivity and achieving
improved outputs with better yields.
Mr. Opart noted that the company’s
aspiration is to provide agricultural solutions
aimed at a better living for all stakeholders.

Senior Executive Vice President

9. Thailand Investment Review
The top destination for the
agricultural machinery
Mr. Opart revealed the three key reasons behind
SIAM KUBOTA’s investment in Thailand.
First, solid domestic demand is present
as agriculture is the main sector for the
country, employing 35 percent of the Thai
workforce and a major exporter of agricultural
JUNE 2017 I 9
products. In 2016, Thailand exported 9.8
million tons of rice, making it the second
largest exporter in the world. Meanwhile,
the shift to increased use of machines to
improve efficiency and productivity is creating
substantial growth in agricultural machinery.
Second, given Thailand’s strategic location,
together with its readiness in infrastructure
and strong supply chain in auto parts which
makes production costs very competitive, the
country therefore acts as a manufacturing
hub to serve demand throughout the ASEAN
region. The demand for agricultural machinery
in ASEAN has shown considerable growth
potential since emerging strongly in recent
years. In 2016, the company’s exports
accounted for 45% of its revenues.
Finally, the government’s support in
offering attractive incentives is a valuable
factor. SIAM KUBOTA has continued to receive
considerable support from the Board of
Investment (BOI). The company believes that
all investors can benefit from investing in the
country.
The company will continue to be a driving
force growing alongside Thai farmers in order
to further drive the Thai agricultural and food
industry as well as to be the ASEAN leader.
Robots to support transition to Thailand 4.0
In targeting an innovation-driven economy, Thailand 4.0 will involve a significant adoption of robotics engineering. Pisanu
Vichiensanth, director and senior executive vice-president of ThaiBev Group and director of Oishi, said the company uses
almost 100 robots in its warehouses and factories in order to increase productivity and efficiency. This includes an
investment of THB 2 billion (USD 58.6 million) at its Oishi factory alone. The robotics industry is growing with an average
demand growth of 10-15%. On the education front, CP Group has teamed up with Panyapiwat Institute of Management
(PIM) to offer a Bachelor of Engineering in Robotics and Automation in order to prepare the future workforce for the
market. Associate Professor Sompop Manarungsan, PIM’s president, said the institute has welcomed 50 students into
the program this year. The demand for robotics will continue to rise as many countries are dealing with ageing societies
and a shortage of workers but need to increase productivity and competitiveness.
Thailand climbs in IMD competitiveness ranking
According to the latest ranking by the IMD World Competitiveness Center, a research group based at IMD business
school in Lausanne, Switzerland, Thailand’s ranking moved up to 27th place in 2017 from 28th in 2016. The advance was
due to the improved performance of the Thai economy, an effective central bank policy and efficiency in government
decisions, according to Arturo Bris, director of the World Competitiveness Center. Meanwhile, in the new report for 2017,
Thailand is ranked 41st in the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Yearbook. This report measures an economy’s ability to
adopt and explore digital technologies in the transformation of government practices, business and society in general.
The new Digital Competitiveness rankings show that Thailand is at an important stage of its digital infrastructure and that
an adaptive and responsive regulatory direction can assist with technological change, Mr. Bris added.
Solid domestic
demand is
present as
agriculture is
the main sector
for the country,
employing 35
percent of the
Thai workforce
and a major
exporter of
agricultural
products.
