Chair: Dr. Ng Sing Muk, General Manager, Research and Development Department,
Sarawak Energy Berhad, Malaysia

Through the IR4.0 adoption, smart energy consumption can be implemented in various
industry devices and systems. The couplings between cyber-physical systems, automation,
and IoT can lead to the birth of smart cities and factories. In this plenary session, strategic
moves implemented by local governments in building smart energy usage, cities, and
factories in Sarawak or Malaysia will be shared by the invited speakers. Discussions on
the current preparation towards the adoption of IR4 locally as well as on how the IR4.0
can benefit both local industries and international partners will be the main focus in the
session.

Plenary 5: Digital Construction for IR4.0

Chair: Ts. Dr. Chai Chang Saar, Discipline Leader – Built Environment & Senior Lecturer,
Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science, Swinburne University of Technology
Sarawak Campus, Malaysia

In this plenary session, the discussion focuses on how the implementation of digital
technologies has improved the construction processes and revolutionized the industry. Digital
technologies such as Building Information Modelling (BIM), 3D printing, augmented and
virtual reality (AR & VR), laser scanning, robotics, analytics software, blockchain, digital
twins, and internet of things are highly sought after for improving efficiencies or capacities
of construction processes. Nevertheless, within the construction industry itself, the
transformation effects of using these digital technologies are still not fully understood,
especially on connectivity of linking up and synchronizing separate activities in the digitized
construction processes. The plenary session also delves into the readiness of digital
construction for IR4.0 and how it would impact the industry in ASEAN and Australia.

Chair: Associate Professor Dr. Ida Fatimawati bt Adi Badiozaman, Executive Dean
(Research) - Interim & Associate Professor, Faculty of Business, Design and Arts,
Swinburne University of Technology Sarawak Campus, Malaysia

The digital industrial revolution has been brought into the classroom, accelerated by the
advent of the COVID-19 pandemic. IR4.0 has not only changed the talents needed by the
engineering industry; learning has become democratised and more accessible. This leads to
learning innovations incorporating IR4.0 tech, i.e. Education 4.0. The traditional educational
approaches indeed need a make-over at making students skill-ready for the ever-evolving
industrial revolution. Some of the main questions to be addressed in this plenary session are
“How does Industry 4.0 affect the education industry, especially in engineering?”, “How can
education institutions equip engineering students for IR4.0?”, and “What innovations are
there to enhance learning in a digital engineering world?”
