InfoQuest (May 18, 2021) - According to Mr. Veeris Ammarapala, Governor of the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand, the Authority will join hands with Petroleum Authority of Thailand (PTT) to carry out the Industrial Transformation Platform Project ("ITP Platform"). The platform, dedicated to customers, trading partners and relevant departments, gains access to the system database of the Authority to facilitate users using the relevant services.

Earlier, the Authority signed a memorandum of cooperation, proposing to set up a JV company to create a digital business platform. Through such a platform, business operators will make good use of robots, automatic systems and digital technologies to enhance Thailand's economic competitiveness, increase industrial added value, and achieve sustainable development. Meanwhile, the platform will also boost industrial transformation of enterprises in the era of Industry 4.0.

The Authority, together with PTT, has completed four pilot projects in the Smart City Industrial Park in Chonburi Province, and put forward suggestions to help enterprises improve productivity, and test the industrial transformation platform, said Mr. Veeris.

The four pilot enterprises are Thai Daizo Aerosol Co., Ltd. in the consumer goods industry, BTKK in the motor vehicle industry, Thai Tohken Thermo and Oriental Copper in the metal industry.

Moreover, the Authority and PTT have also discussed with 12 enterprises in six industrial parks, distributed questionnaires to business operators who intend to introduce an automatic control system, and applied the survey results to improve the industrial transformation platform.

"The Authority and PTT are going to set up a JV company in the form of co-investment, and are considering engaging consultants to handle investment and related matters," added Mr. Veeris.
