The highly anticipated SISTAM 2024, the leading B2B conference and exhibition, is set to take place from 26 to 27 September 2024 at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC). SISTAM - Smart Industrial Safety & Technology for Advanced Maintenance - will bring together industry leaders, experts, and professionals to discuss and explore the latest advancements in smart industrial safety and maintenance technology. Aligned with the Thailand 4.0 initiative, aimed at propelling the Thai economy through innovation, high-value manufacturing, and sustainability, the 2-day conference ‘3S - Smart, Safe, and Sustainable Technologies Toward Tomorrow’ is focused on elevating Thailand’s industrial sector by raising the bar on safety and maintenance standards and facilitating knowledge exchange.
Nucharin Paradeevisut, Managing Director of ExpoSis – organiser of SISTAM, said: “SISTAM 2024 is not just a trade event, but a gathering of minds dedicated to advancing industrial safety and technology in Thailand. We are proud to bring together such a diverse and influential group of professionals to share insights and drive innovation.” Co-host of SISTAM, The Thai Institute of Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry (TIChE), Surachet Chalothorn, President, echoed similar sentiments: “We are honoured to lead discussions on process safety management, a critical area for ensuring the safety and sustainability of Thailand’s industrial sectors.”
“As we approach SISTAM 2024, the importance of smart industrial safety and advanced maintenance cannot be overstated. The adoption of digital technologies, automation, and advanced maintenance practices is critical for ensuring safety, efficiency, and competitiveness. Predictive maintenance, IoT-driven real-time monitoring, and advanced safety management systems are no longer optional—they are essential to preventing accidents and minimising downtime. Given the chemical and process industries' significant contribution to Thailand’s GDP, SISTAM 2024 and the elaborate conference programme is perfectly timed to address these evolving needs and help propel the industry forward,” added Mr Surachet.
3S Conference: A collaborative effort for tomorrow's technologies
The 3S Conference, a cornerstone of SISTAM 2024, is a collaborative effort jointly organised with Chula Engineering, with the support of an Executive Committee comprising 17 leading organisations across industry and technology sectors. This conference promises to be a pivotal platform for knowledge sharing and networking among key stakeholders in the industry. Dr Supoj Chinveeraphan, Executive Director and Director-General of the Technology Promotion Association (Thailand-Japan), co-host of SISTAM 2024, remarked: “We are excited to contribute to the dialogue on Talent Development in Thailand, particularly in the context of smart data. As industries evolve, the ability to harness and analyse data becomes increasingly vital, not just for operational efficiency but for cultivating a skilled workforce equipped to meet the demands of modern industrial environments.”
He added: “At SISTAM 2024, we aim to highlight how smart data technologies can be leveraged to enhance human resource development. By integrating real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and IoT into training and development programmes, we can create a workforce that is not only proficient in these advanced tools but also capable of driving innovation and safety in the workplace. This conference offers a unique opportunity for professionals to exchange ideas, share best practices, and collaborate on strategies that will shape the future of human resource development in Thailand’s industrial sector.”
A comprehensive agenda with over 70 seminar topics
Delegates at SISTAM 2024 can expect a robust agenda, featuring over 70 seminar topics focused on smart industrial safety and maintenance technology. Some of the key sessions include:
