Singapore-based multinational technology company Dyson, known for its high-end consumer electronics with sleek industrial aesthetics and highly engineered precision motors under the hood, is looking to shake up the consumer electronics industry yet again.
This time, it aims to link future Dyson products to a connected platform via Wi-Fi so that they can communicate with the company in real time.
Not only will Dyson be able to gain instantaneous insights on how its devices are performing under real-world conditions, but the company can also through diagnosing the collected data and tweaking the lines of code in the software push out updates and optimise the machines' performance on the fly.
Subsequently, the data gathered can be used to improve new generations of the products, the company's chief technology officer John Churchill told The Straits Times.
He said the investment in the research and development (R&D) of will come this future technology from a $1.5 billion kitty that Dyson has already earmarked for its engineering and technology endeavours in Singapore over four years starting from 2022.
Meanwhile, the advent of new technology is allowing for the creation of digital twins - or virtual replicas of Dyson's products.
"This use of virtual simulation testing prototypes in the digital realm before creating physical versions - will save us both time and money in developing new products," noted Mr Churchill.
In 2019, Dyson moved its headquarters to Singapore, where it plays a significant role in the development of these new products being a node in the company's global network of R&D laboratories.
In Singapore alone, engineers and scientists account for almost half of its 1,920 staff composed of 36 nationalities.
This is unsurprising as Dyson had signalled its intention in 2020, and then again in 2022, to hire 250 technical and scientific experts in both instances.
