One of the leading transport & logistics companies with hubs in Singapore is looking for technologies to automate its warehouse kitting process.  In Singapore, its storage consolidation and distribution hubs offer a one-stop logistics solution designed to support a wide spectrum of industries.  The company currently faces the following issues: Turnkey processes consist of multiple manual steps to cater to different customer needs which involve a wide variety of combinations of items for assembly  Each customer’s requirements vary due to different/unique product packaging designs, and there are over 100 combinations of items for assembly Customers also have varying order patterns due to urgency and periodic surges (i.e. product launches). Typical batch of production vary from 3000 to 20,000 pieces per job type with an average around 8,000 pieces per job type. The company is seeking technologies/solutions that can address the following objectives: Reduce production cost Increase workshop capacity (per sqm) Identify work step process of manual activities for process improvement   

Anti-viral technology for packaging would be a significant step forward in increasing consumer confidence when purchasing and handling consumer goods packages. The increasing potential for viral contamination is forcing consumers to be wary of handling products that may have been handled by store personnel or other consumers. Anti-viral packaging technology would allow consumers to confidently choose those products with the least risk of further contamination and eliminate any need for package clean-up when arriving at home.  To offer solutions to consumers’ rising technical and emotional needs, a company is looking for technologies that can be applied to direct food contact packaging, both flexible and rigid, capable of reducing or eliminating viruses and other external pathogens on the packaging surface. 

A company is seeking to develop a new epoxy solder paste, with improved performance compared to conventional solder, for feature size <100µm. This new epoxy solder paste is expected to be implemented in applications such as mini/micro-LED, advanced packages SiP, automotive. While existing conventional solder paste technologies is being used in various applications today, they have limited performance in terms of drop test, die shear and adhesion. It gets more challenging when dealing with very small interconnect applications. For example, tin bismuth (SnBi) alloy has been widely used in low temperature reflow applications, but the brittleness is a concern for reliability. The company is thus seeking potential partners to develop a novel epoxy solder paste, as a joint reinforcement paste, that can improve the performance of small feature size (<100µm) applications. The company is open to various modes of collaboration and would like to partner with technology owners that are open to develop their existing technologies based on their requirements.

A Singapore-based company is seeking means to make use of their GPS data to optimise operational efficiency, e.g. vehicle route for deployment of vehicle to drivers, goods delivery pick-up / drop-off and other use cases.  Each of the vehicles is equipped with an on-board GPS hardware linked to the vehicle’s on-board diagnostic (OBD) system. The GPS tracks and records vehicle position data since 2014 and the data are kept for 6 years. The data can be extracted into Excel format. The company is open for various forms of collaboration with commercial entities or research institutes, and is able to contribute by supporting the pilot test of the proposed solution with their vehicles and driver resources, providing raw GPS data, co-fund the developmental activities (to be discussed), and co-develop a solution tailored to their needs stated under Technology Specification.

The company is a UK based global cosmetics and skin care developer with established brands in both traditional anti-ageing and skin health categories. they have strong existing research, product development, regulatory and claims compliance and brand and marketing divisions helping to design and create compelling consumer concepts for the future.Their mission is to help people across the world lead healthier and happier lives. They believe that the health and resilience of people’s skin is vital to this and they are passionate in helping their consumers achieve maximum skin health throughout their lives. Poor skin health can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life and can contribute to reductions in both healthspan and lifespan. Skin’s trajectory through life is determined by both intrinsic factors such as genetics and hormones and extrinsic factors such as the cumulative exposures it will face due to environment and lifestyle, and the combination of these factors impacts on the performance and perceived health of consumer’s skin. They are looking to source breakthrough innovations in the diagnosis of consumers individual skin needs through analysis of intrinsic and extrinsic factors and providing naturally derived highly effective skin care products that help protect and restore the skin.

Poor skin health can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life and can contribute to reductions in both healthspan and lifespan. There is emerging understanding of the important role that the microbiome plays in the health and resilience of skin, with both the skin microbiome and gut microbiome being implicated. Consumers are beginning to embrace the idea that maintaining a balance between the skin and the microbes that inhabit it is important but are unclear on how this impacts on their individual skin needs and what technologies will be efficacious in this area. The company is looking to source breakthrough innovations in the diagnosis and maintenance/restoration of consumers individual skin and gut microbiome and its contribution to the performance and status of their skin.

Bentonite clay is an abundant and naturally occurring mineral that results from the weathering and sedimentation of volcanic ash deposits. Its principal ingredient is calcium montmorillonite, a highly adsorbent, chemically inert, and non-corrosive substance. When mined from the ground, then processed and dried into the form of free-flowing granules, bentonite clay attracts and binds water vapour readily within its complex and highly layered structure, making it a highly effective desiccant. The material has many environmental and sustainability advantages because it is abundant, naturally occurring and has small carbon footprint. The company that is responsible for ensuring the quality and shelf life of packaged products face a range of considerations when it comes to sourcing a desiccant that is right for their applications. With the growing interest in circular economy, the company is exploring innovation for the depositing or recycling of used desiccants that are packed in porous bags, single packets, and continuous strips.
