Leadership development programmes will also be introduced to help managers lead digital transformation initiatives.
Robonauts CEO Md Moonzoor Morshed said the partnership would support the adoption of robotics, AI, machine vision, intelligent sensors and other smart manufacturing technologies across Ha-Meem Group’s operations.
Planned initiatives include automation assessments, process optimisation, AI-based quality inspection, predictive maintenance, automated material handling, production monitoring and customised automation solutions for the RMG sector.
The two organisations also plan to work with universities, engineering institutions and research organisations to promote innovation, research, internships and industry-academia collaboration, with the aim of developing the next generation of engineers and technology professionals.
Ha-Meem Group CEO Rohit Gopalakrishnan Nair said the initiative reflected the company’s long-term strategy to embrace Industry 4.0 and strengthen its global competitiveness through technology-driven manufacturing.
The companies said the partnership marked the beginning of a long-term collaboration to promote innovation, knowledge sharing and sustainable industrial growth while supporting Bangladesh’s ambition to remain a global leader in intelligent and technology-driven apparel manufacturing.
