KUCHING: Unimas (Universiti Malaysia Sarawak) Community Sustainability Centre is working closely with the Industry and Entrepreneurship Development Ministry (MIED) and Sarawak Multimedia Authority (SMA) to provide awareness programmes on Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR4.0).
It aims to raise awareness about IR4.0 technology among the community and industry in Sarawak, and also to encourage producers in Sarawak to automate and adapt Industry 4.0 in the manufacture of timber.
It has conducted awareness programmes for timber, Gula Apong, Kek Lapis, Food Packaging and Small Medium Enterprise (SME) industries.
The university sees these programmes as interactive sessions between the community and industry to exchange, acquire and update skills, interests and knowledge.
The programmes also enable the academia to understand the needs, issues and challenges faced by the community and industry to embark on IR4.0.
