New Ocean Group Welcomes S.M.A.R.T Entrepreneurship X Global Delegation
On August 4, 2026, New Ocean Group welcomed the S.M.A.R.T Entrepreneurship X Global delegation, bringing together entrepreneurs and business leaders from Singapore as part of their journey to explore Vietnam’s technology ecosystem, emerging solutions, and new opportunities for cross-border collaboration.
S.M.A.R.T Entrepreneurship is a community of entrepreneurs and business leaders united by a shared interest in harnessing emerging technologies, connecting business capabilities, and building companies with global impact. The delegation’s visit to Vietnam provided an opportunity to gain first-hand insight into the country’s growing technology landscape and engage directly with local technology companies.
At New Ocean Group, the discussion moved beyond individual technologies. The delegation explored how digital systems, artificial intelligence, automation, and quality technologies can work together to address real operational challenges across manufacturing and enterprise environments.
Exploring an Integrated Industrial Technology Ecosystem
For many enterprises, technology adoption remains fragmented. Digital platforms may operate separately from production systems, automation equipment, quality inspection, and business data. This creates gaps between what companies can monitor, what they can understand, and what they can act on.
New Ocean Group approaches this challenge through an integrated industrial technology ecosystem built around three core pillars: IT, Automation Solutions, and Quality Inspection.
Together, these capabilities connect the digital and physical layers of enterprise operations, helping organizations move from isolated technology projects toward more connected and data-driven operations.
1. IT: From Factory Digitalization to Enterprise AI
The first pillar focuses on the digital foundation of enterprise operations.
Through DxFACTORY, New Ocean Group provides digital transformation solutions designed for manufacturing environments. These solutions help enterprises connect operational data, manage factory activities, improve visibility, and establish a stronger data foundation for decision-making.
The ecosystem also extends into enterprise AI through AIQuinta, an Agentic Enterprise Platform designed to help organizations access and use their internal knowledge more effectively.
Instead of treating AI as a standalone chatbot or isolated experiment, AIQuinta focuses on connecting AI with enterprise knowledge, workflows, and operational systems. This enables organizations to turn fragmented information into accessible knowledge and support more informed actions across the business.
For the delegation, this demonstrated how digital transformation and AI can form a connected layer rather than two separate technology initiatives.
2. Automation Solutions: Connecting Technology with Physical Operations
Digital visibility alone does not improve a production line. Data needs to connect with the systems that control and execute physical operations.
New Ocean Group’s Automation Solutions address this layer through technologies including industrial robots, Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs), control systems, production monitoring, and data acquisition.
These solutions can support a wide range of industrial use cases, from automated material movement and production control to equipment monitoring and real-time data collection.
By connecting automation technologies with digital systems, enterprises can create a more consistent flow of information between machines, production processes, and management platforms.
This integration is a key step toward building manufacturing operations that can respond faster to changing production conditions while reducing dependence on manual processes.
3. Quality Inspection: Building Quality into the Production Process
The third pillar focuses on quality inspection and production assurance.
New Ocean Group provides inspection technologies including machine vision, checkweighers, X-ray systems, and automated inspection solutions. These technologies enable manufacturers to detect defects, verify product specifications, and maintain quality standards directly on the production line.
Machine vision systems, for example, can inspect products at production speed and identify visual defects that may be difficult to detect consistently through manual inspection.
Checkweighers and X-ray technologies add further control for applications where product weight, composition, packaging integrity, or foreign-object detection must meet strict requirements.
Rather than treating inspection as a final checkpoint, these technologies allow quality data to become part of the wider production information flow.
From Technology Demonstration to Practical Business Discussion
During the visit, the delegation also toured New Ocean Group’s technology lab and observed demonstrations of different solutions.
The session gave participants an opportunity to move from high-level technology discussions to practical use cases and explore how different technologies could be applied within real business and manufacturing environments.
The exchange also covered broader topics such as digital transformation, AI adoption, industrial automation, operational efficiency, and the increasing need to connect data across enterprise and production systems.
For companies assessing new technologies, the question is increasingly not whether a specific technology works. The more relevant question is how multiple technologies can operate together within existing business processes and deliver measurable operational value.
This is where an integrated approach becomes increasingly relevant.
Strengthening Technology Collaboration Between Vietnam and Singapore
The S.M.A.R.T Entrepreneurship X Global delegation’s visit created another opportunity for direct exchange between Singapore’s business community and Vietnam’s technology ecosystem.
For New Ocean Group, the visit also reflects a broader direction: bringing together digital transformation, enterprise AI, automation, and quality technologies within one industrial technology ecosystem and connecting these capabilities with business challenges across different markets.
As enterprises across the region continue to invest in AI, automation, and smart manufacturing, cross-border knowledge exchange will play an increasing role in turning emerging technologies into practical business applications.
New Ocean Group looks forward to continuing these conversations and exploring new opportunities to collaborate with businesses in Singapore and across the region.
