Training Course on Smart Manufacturing Specialists

In 2023, the APO launched a training course to develop SM specialists to support SMEs in digital transformation in response to the growing demand for professionals with both productivity and digitalization expertise. In 2024, in response to feedback from the inaugural course, it included more hands-on IoT exercises to enhance practical understanding. Participants have since multiplied the knowledge in their home countries through local training programs, consultancy to industry, and establishing Industry 4.0 training and research centers to build national capacity. In response to rapid advances in AI, this year’s course includes new content on generative AI applications in SM, use cases such as automated fault diagnosis, sensor data monitoring, and report generation. The course continues to evolve in line with emerging technologies, reinforcing the APO’s commitment to developing futureready manufacturing capabilities in its member economies.
