Groundup.ai has announced the launch of Groundup Academy, a global educational initiative aimed at bridging the cognitive gap in Industry 5.0. The academy, introduced at the SMF Manufacturing Day Summit in Singapore, seeks to transform industrial workers from reactive roles into proactive AI Maestros, addressing the challenges posed by increasingly autonomous operations.
The academy is designed to tackle the “Hidden Tax” of unplanned downtime in critical sectors such as manufacturing, maritime, and infrastructure. By offering two specialised tracks—The Whisperer Track for engineers and The Strategist Track for leadership—the academy aims to upskill professionals to interpret machine data effectively, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs.
Leon Lim, CEO and Founder of Groundup.ai, emphasised the importance of human expertise in the evolving industrial landscape. “Industry 5.0 belongs to those who can master the data without losing the human touch,” he stated. The academy’s mission is to alleviate fears of job displacement by empowering workers with AI skills, ensuring they remain indispensable in their roles.
Groundup Academy is accessible at no cost to the global industrial community, with participants earning professional certificates and digital skill badges. This initiative aligns with Groundup.ai’s #ZeroDowntime mission, aiming to build industrial resilience worldwide. Registration for the Pioneer Batch is now open, inviting professionals to advance their skills in the era of Industry 5.0.
