AIMRI Artificial Intelligence Readiness Index

The International Centre for Industrial Transformation (INCIT), headquartered in Singapore, utilizes a multi-faceted partnership model to drive global manufacturing transformation, focusing on Industry 4.0 and sustainability. This model involves collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders:

Here are the key aspects of INCIT's Singapore partnership model:

Governments and Trade Associations: INCIT partners with national governments (like the Philippines, India, and Brazil) and industry associations to implement its frameworks, such as the Smart Industry Readiness Index (SIRI) and the Consumer Sustainability Industry Readiness Index (COSIRI), as national standards for industrial transformation. This often involves training local professionals and integrating these frameworks into national programs.

Manufacturers: At its core, INCIT supports individual manufacturing companies in their transformation journeys. This is done through assessments (SIRI, COSIRI, OPERI, AIRI) that help manufacturers benchmark their digital, operational, AI, and sustainability maturity, identify gaps, and create actionable roadmaps.

Consultants and Advisory Firms: INCIT collaborates with consulting firms (e.g., Eficens Systems, Detecon) to expand the reach and implementation of its frameworks. These partners often gain access to INCIT's data-driven prioritization tools to strengthen their advisory and execution capabilities for clients.

Technology and Solution Providers: INCIT works with technology companies (e.g., Celebal Technologies) to integrate its frameworks with platforms like XIRI-Analytics, which provides data-driven insights for digital and sustainable transformation. Their "ManuVate" platform also connects manufacturers with relevant Industry 4.0 solution providers.

Academic Institutions and Certification Bodies: INCIT partners with academic institutions (like NAMTECH in India) to incorporate its concepts and frameworks into tertiary education programs, thereby developing a future-ready workforce for smart and sustainable manufacturing. They also work with certification bodies (like TÜV SÜD) to offer training and certification programs for their assessors.

Independent Non-Profit Entity: As an independent, non-government, non-profit organization, INCIT acts as a neutral convener, fostering collaboration across the public and private sectors to achieve its mission of accelerating manufacturing transformation.

Data-Driven Approach: A key element of the partnership model is the use of INCIT's "Prioritisation Indexes" (SIRI, COSIRI, OPERI, AIRI) and the XIRI-Analytics platform. These tools provide data-driven insights that inform the transformation strategies of all partners, enabling objective benchmarking and targeted improvements.

Global Reach and Impact: While headquartered in Singapore, INCIT's partnership model is designed for global impact, expanding its frameworks and services to various countries and industries worldwide.

In essence, INCIT's Singapore partnership model is a collaborative ecosystem centered around its globally recognized assessment frameworks and tools, designed to guide and accelerate the digital and sustainable transformation of the manufacturing industry on a global scale.
