ISDN Holdings Limited has announced that its subsidiary, AR Robotics and Automation Pte. Ltd., has formed a strategic partnership with Soradynamics and Trinity One LT Limited. This collaboration involves AR Robotics divesting 486,500 ordinary shares to the two companies, with ISDN retaining a 30% equity stake. The partnership aims to accelerate AR Robotics’ development in advanced robotics and AI solutions, targeting markets in Asia Pacific, Europe, and the United States.
AR Robotics, previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of ISDN, will benefit from S$1m in seed capital, manufacturing expertise, and an extensive Asia sales network. Soradynamics contributes proprietary drone technology and multi-camera video fusion capabilities, whilst Trinity provides financial backing and market development expertise. This partnership positions AR Robotics as a viable alternative to Chinese-made robotics amidst global supply chain realignments.
The collaboration is already showing promise, with an initial contract pipeline valued at approximately US$10m. AR Robotics’ technology is currently undergoing trials with notable agencies in Singapore. The company plans to leverage its modular robotics and AI platform for various industrial applications, including firefighting, inspection, delivery, and surveillance.
Teo Cher Koon, Managing Director and President of ISDN, stated, “AR Robotics reflects how ISDN builds value. We identify high-potential technology, bring our manufacturing depth and Asia network to bear, and partner with the right people to take it global.” The partnership is expected to strengthen ISDN’s position as a leading industrial automation platform across Asia.
