FEBRUARY 19 — We may not be zipping around with rockets on our backs, but life in recent years is still remarkably different than it was even a decade ago, especially with constant technological advances and inventions coming out every year.
And now the Fourth Industrial Revolution is building on the Third, the digital revolution that has been occurring since the middle of the last century. It’s characterised by a fusion of technologies that is blurring the lines between the physical, digital, and biological spheres. I believe it’s important for the industry to move towards automation and capitalise on the Industry 4.0, the subset of the Fourth Industrial Revolution that concerns industry.
But the truth is while we are sitting comfortably thinking that everything is coasting along fine , our competition has just brought a new engine for their speed boat , and we’re not only getting left behind, we are drifting off course. For example, simplify the work environment, reduce human efforts, reduce safety risks, to name but a few.
Sime Darby Plantation has built a pilot mill with a number of sensors, controllers, and near-infrared spectrophotometer. This plant incorporates also supervisory control and data acquisition technology — which is presently not widely used in palm oil mill — and will bring the industry up to Industry 3.0, and potentially Industry 4.0, level.
While I know this might not possible to realise in palm oil mills overnight, I hope we could at least witness a step change in technological revolution, just as I have daydreamed about.
