More than 300,000 NDP packs are being prepared for this year's celebrations.
SINGAPORE - Donning robotic frames that transform them into “superhuman” lifters, soldiers easily handle heavy boxes while preparing and assembling packs for the 2024 National Day Parade .
The 21-year-old full-time national serviceman is one of 70 NSFs and regulars tasked to assemble more than 300,000 NDP packs for this year’s celebrations. These technologies aim to reduce the overall manpower and man-hours required to prepare the packs, he added. Even with the automation, manpower is still necessary for quality control and to pick up items that may have fallen off or been missed, said MAJ Lim.
The automated packing line prepares about 10 per cent to 15 per cent of the total output daily, contributing to about 10,000 NDP packs being assembled each day. The completed NDP packs are packed into boxes of about 15 each and placed on pallets, or wooden platforms, which are then transported by autonomous mobile robots to a demarcated area at the packing site.
