Beng Hock Mechanical Engineering will be moving next year into a new facility in Kranji, where the local company will implement digital solutions projected to help it save between $150,000 and $220,000 annually.
This will be accomplished through new warehouse management solutions as well as new enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, which will connect the company’s inventory, sales, and accounting, as well as its production processes, using a single platform.
Chief executive Kenji Leow said these solutions would save costs, reduce wastage and increase productivity for the company, which provides solutions for heavy vehicle system integration and waste management systems.
It is also looking to allow customers to remotely view their equipment when it is being serviced or repaired, in the next phase of its digitalization journey, he said.
The company is among more than 40 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the metal, machinery and timber industries that will move to industrial landlord JTC’s TimMac @ Kranji development, expected to be completed by the first quarter of next year.
