    AS INDUSTRIAL automation evolves, ISDN Holdings has kept its finger on the pulse of changes and adapted its offerings to better fit the evolving market.

    Describing the company as “flexible”, managing director and president Teo Cher Koon highlights that ISDN has multiple manufacturing plants and factories, particularly in China, to cater to various customers’ requests.

    The company provides solutions to power factories, energy plants and other such infrastructure. This means the services ISDN offers to businesses can vary widely, ranging from small components and modules to an entire warehouse with robots that can be programmed from a dashboard.
