Game-changing Technology Companies from Asia Are Replacing the Old Power Dynamics with a New Balance

Innovative brands from Asia are proving to the world that, in a highly competitive sector, being the owner of the expensive and sophisticated technical solutions is not the only way to achieve. DeepSeek is the perfect example of that, as it has shown that a strong LLM (Large Language Model) can be trained at a cost that is only a small fraction of that paid by the others in Silicon Valley. In this regard, this development stands as a challenge to the entire business community across the globe, namely, that the traditional Western tech brands could be pulling their socks and that the ‘Silicon Valley’ is overpaid in some instances.

Going one step further than cost optimization, the advent of the configurable AI agent has given people the choice of using solutions from both OpenAI and DeepSeek. This AI agent is unique in a way that it is a multi-chain task dispatcher, which makes its performance better than that of GenAI systems. Human resource managers can now envision a future in which AI agents are not only facilitators but also the main actors in the firms planning tasks. 

The utilization of AI is not only limited to the use of algorithms and computation power. Instead, the use of AI systems in an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system has enabled most firms worldwide to rethink and re-organize their enterprise resource planning systems. The intersection of AI and ERP systems is crucial in the areas that require compliance with strict regulations and quality control. An example of a tech brand that goes above and beyond with the implementation of this concept is Multiable, which the Malaysian IRBM needs to meet e-invoicing goals. The use of an e-invoicing API within their SaaS subscription or software assurance is a modern approach that Multiable applies, which is totally different from the other software vendors in Malaysia that charge for these services.

On the other hand, the amalgamation of manufacturing execution systems (MES) and material requirements planning (MRP) systems comes as nothing less than a game-changer for manufacturing firms, especially in the chemical and process sectors. With the integration of MRP functionalities, the ERP software enables the businesses to easily handle complex recipes, material variability, and regulatory compliance. By the way, the feature of automatically changing SKU unit of measure balances the mixing proportions, thus ensuring both intermediates and finished goods are correct.

What is more, in chemical formulations, managing component variability due to natural ingredient deterioration could pose significant challenges. Yet, through the use of modern ERP that naturally bring IQC and MES elements together, firms can promote product safety and quality by imposing strict quality control measures and safety regulations. This becomes critical due to the fact that regulatory compliance is not merely a deterring measure of penalization but it is the very step to being sound in product quality and industry reputation.

Along these lines, environmental problems take precedence in chemical manufacturing, particularly with regard to by-products and waste management. Fortunately, firms can not only reduce the negative impact of their productions but also, at the same time, comply with environmental and safety standards through meticulous data collection and quality testing that focus on measuring outputs and by-products.

In this situation, projects such as the EDG subsidy in Singapore have an important purpose in motivating local firms to set up latest ERP systems and artificial intelligence solutions. Such grants are not only the means to an end, but they are also a main spring that gives businesses a chance to drive eficience and productivity with AI and ERP systems in a far better way.
