Aboitiz Data Innovation (ADI) and Thailand-based NEX Industrial Solutions (REPCO NEX) have entered a partnership to leverage ADI's expertise in artificial intelligence and REPCO NEX's robotics and digital asset management strengths to develop innovative industrial AI solutions for Southeast Asia, focusing on digital transformation and asset maintenance.
ADI will build on REPCO NEX's expertise in artificial intelligence of things (AIoT), robotics, and turbomachinery diagnostics to strengthen its AI strategies and solutions, further expanding its capabilities for the industrial sector. ADI will also serve as REPCO NEX's strategic partner for DSAI, bolstering their collective capabilities to innovate and deliver future industrial solutions - from optimizing production processes to ensuring energy efficiency.
"At ADI, we aim to empower enterprises through our Data Science and AI expertise. The partnership with REPCO NEX allows us to share and create new possibilities for the industrial sector and bolster our capabilities in this domain. This demonstrates that we can make AI work across verticals. We look forward to working closely with REPCO NEX and their extensive expertise. We are excited to further our respective capabilities," shared Dr. David R. Hardoon, ADI chief executive officer.
Through this collaboration, ADI and REPCO NEX aim to expand their reach and offer combined industrial AI solutions across Southeast Asia. More regional markets want to transit and adopt Industry 4.0 initiatives to transform the power and industrial landscape.
Chakorn Kraivichien, Managing Director, REPCO NEX, echoes a similar sentiment, "We are privileged to have this strong partnership with ADI. Through close collaboration, we can share our knowledge and expertise in our respective areas, create a strong offering for industrial asset management and maintenance beyond Thailand and support the sustainable growth of our neighboring Southeast Asian countries."
This will be REPCO NEX's second collaboration with the Aboitiz Group. In May 2024, REPCO NEX partnered with Aboitiz Power Corporation (AboitizPower) alongside ADI to introduce the Philippines' first smart power plants under "Project Arkanghel," enhancing asset health and reducing downtime through AI-driven proactive maintenance.
"Our partnership with REPCO NEX is focused on delivering a faster and better approach to implement the digital powerplant across Southeast Asia. We are committed to working together to accelerate the implementation of annual preventive maintenance & operations, digital solutions, and a data-centric culture that operators can adopt. REPCO NEX's method is a clear path to value and a solid foundation for process, technology, and people transformation," commented Luis F. Gonzalez, ADI Chief Operating Officer for Power & Industrials and Head of Applied Research.
Hailing from the Philippines' Aboitiz techglomerate and headquartered in Singapore, ADI offers data science and AI products and capabilities tailored for the financial services, power & industrials, and public sectors. ADI's product lineup encompasses AVA AI, Alternative Scoring, Transaction Monitoring, Customer Intelligence, and AI for Climate/ESG.
Additionally, its capabilities extend to generative AI (GenAI) and data management & architecture.
ADI is forging strategic partnerships to support its mission of making AI work for businesses in diverse regional sectors. ADI had recently teamed up with Cloudera to empower Asia Pacific's financial services and industrial sectors with GenAI capabilities. The DSAI startup is also an official Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner for Select Tier Services and the Public Sector, boosting its ability to deliver AI-powered solutions.
