Chong VOn Kee
CEO of InnoArk PTE. Ltd.Topic: Industry 4.0. The ideal world, but where do I start?
Started as an Engineer in a Japanese multinational back in 1996, I spent most of my time on the factory floor and working with operators. The learning experience is fantastic, not only did I learn about manufacturing process, I also realise the importance of information, in an aggregated way.
Back then, all production information was only available in the MIS room for managers. As a junior, it was hard for me to make a decision without asking my manager for information. That makes me believe information is as important as the machine itself.
Fast forward by 10 years to 2006, I started to work on system solutioning and consultancy for manufacturing from quality control to data extraction from machines for process monitoring (also for autonomous and preventive maintenance), I have gone through the struggle and I understand the common pain points in manufacturing processes.
Fast forward another 10 years, 2016, the idea of Industry 4.0 pretty much sums up what I consider as the “dream world”. It is an ideal world. It is a journey. Going there is a trend with lots of challenges which I will gladly be sharing during my session in Asia Manufacturing Summit.

Adrienna Zsakay
CoE at Circular Economy AsiaTopic: An Asian Plastics & Packaging Agreement
Originally from Australia, Ms Adrienna Zsakay first visited Asia when she was 18 for a holiday to Bali.
That four week trip changed her life forever, resulting in residences in India, Sri Lanka, South Korea,
Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia as well as travels to other parts of the region. Over the last 40 yearsAdrienna has witnessed tremendous development and change.
Adrienna has a BA(Asian Studies & Politics) from the University of Western Australia and has studied
International and Asian food law from Michigan State University.
While living in Thailand Ms Zsakay became interested in waste management and, in particular, recycling
as a resource. From there it was a easy transition to the Circular Economy and the founding of Circular
Economy Asia Incorporated (CEA).
CEA leads the discussion across the region on improving resource management, educating consumers,
working with product brand owners and all tiers of Government who must respond to the global pressures
of growing resource scarcity and overwhelming waste.
CEA includes both local and international experts who are experienced in the nuances of life in Asia,
especially important when collaborating the design of products or services that are supportive of the
Circular Economy.
All companies across Asia, big and small, as they begin the transition to the Circular Economy will need
assistance in advancing resource management, the life cycle of the product and a cradle-to-cradle
Circular Design process. We are developing a Six Steps Towards a Circular Business program in order
to transition companies to Circular Business Models - CEA is your trusted partner.
Inviting Guest Editors from around the world, through CEA’s #CircularOctober program, CEA tailors its
messages via multiple social media platforms. These platforms allow CEA to have a diverse amount of
information available to both educate, enlighten and inspire people into Connect and Action for
Circularity with others.
CEA leads the way on other programs that comprehensively rethinks current systems and processes to
improve lives, create jobs and establish new industries across the region.
