Best World International moves into the era of Industry 4.0

Taking the leap towards Industry 4.0, Best World International recently invested SGD 88 million into its state-of-the-art  DR&rsquo s Secret  manufacturing facility in Singapore, spanning a gross floor area of 7,307 square metres. The plant is currently undergoing a series of commissioning works and is expected to commence operations in the third quarter of 2022. The fully automated site will see a set of DR&rsquo s Secret products produced in less than one minute, with the entire production process completed within the facility &ndash water purification, homogenisation, fully automated filling, cartoning, overwrapping, case packing and palletising.

The facility is also equipped with a complete laboratory, including a microbiology laboratory, to perform more comprehensive testing of raw materials and finished products. The new site will adopt Industry 4.0 best practices, including transparency, timely access to information and analysis of data to achieve overall data connectivity, with the aim of improving production efficiency.

Through deeper integration and streamlining of automated production processes, the new site is expected to have a production capacity of 100,000 units of products daily when fully operational. Based on this figure, the facility will be able to reach a maximum annual output of approximately SGD 2.27 billion worth of products.
