Thales will strengthen the avionics industry base in Singapore through a Center of Excellence that will address the industrialization of new avionics products and smart factory transformation initiatives.
The group also strengthened its digital identity and security (DIS) engineering footprint in Singapore, established a global cybersecurity hub and hardware and embedded software CoE, and established an ecodesign cross-sectional center of excellence in Singapore. The purpose is to create excellence. and AI-assisted technology.
These initiatives, which focus on eco-design in development and manufacturing, are implemented in partnership with the Economic Development Board of Singapore (EDB) and strengthen Thales’ position as Asia’s leading sustainable technology company. .
From research and development activities to smart manufacturing in sectors including aerospace, defence, and digital identity & security, Thales has been a partner in Singapore’s digital technology growth for over 50 years. Thales will strengthen its commitment to Singapore with the 2024 Singapore Airshow, with the aim of further strengthening its footprint in avionics and digital..
Enabling technology such as biometrics, advanced AI, and cloud-based connectivity will shape the transformation of the aerospace sector. Additionally, there is a continued focus on sustainability for innovation, with companies incorporating ecodesign into the development of new products and services to minimize their impact on the environment. The latest expansion of Thales’ capabilities in Singapore takes place in two dimensions.
1. Thales strengthens Avionics Asia Pacific Industry Center (AAIC)
Thales in Singapore is now home to the group’s leading base for avionics manufacturing and MRO services, having established operations more than 50 years ago. As air travel recovers, a future avionics center of excellence will be established at Thales’ AAIC in Changi North Rise to support the evolving industrial needs of airlines and aircraft manufacturers. Some of the topics covered include the future industrialization of Singapore’s new flight avionics products and Smart Factory 4.0 automation and digitalization initiatives to further strengthen Singapore’s competitive and sustainable avionics industrial base. It is included.
2.Thales expands its Digital Identity & Security Engineering Competence Center (DIS ECC)
Thales’ DIS Engineering Competence Center (ECC) in Singapore is actively engaged in advanced research, product development and project implementation on cutting-edge solutions for banking, telecommunications, identity biometrics and innovative technologies. I’m here. Thales has announced additional investments in his ECC engineering capabilities in Singapore, particularly in cybersecurity, hardware and embedded software. Additionally, Thales will establish a cross-sectional center of excellence for ecodesign and AI-supported technology in Singapore to host practices and reference materials for all of the group’s DIS businesses and apply these ecodesign practices across Thales. That’s what I’m aiming for. ‘ Future Products and Services.
“We welcome Thales’ latest expansion plans in Singapore, which strengthen our position as a leading aerospace hub and strengthen our digital ecosystem. It will also create exciting employment opportunities for Singaporeans in the field of innovation. We look forward to deepening our long-standing partnership with Thales over the coming years.” Lim Tse Yong, Senior Vice President and Head of Mobility and Industrial Solutions at Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) said:
Thales in Singapore values our long-standing partnership with EDB and appreciates the trust they have in us to grow our business and establish roots in Singapore. After more than 50 years in Singapore, our tradition of technology, research and innovation brings even more value and we continue to offer new solutions to our partners in the areas of smart avionics, cybersecurity, fintech, connectivity and digital identity. I am optimistic that we can do it. . We look forward to our partnership over the next few years in these exciting times where we can make the future of travel attractive, safe and sustainable. ” Emily Tan, Country Director and Chief Executive Officer, Thales Singapore
