SIRI — Smart Industry Readiness Index
Benchmark a factory and prioritize improvement investments
About the method
Launched by Singapore’s Economic Development Board in 2017 and subsequently managed by INCIT, SIRI combines factory diagnosis, industry benchmarking and investment prioritization to support Industry 4.0 roadmaps.
Geographic adoption and scale
- Regions
- Singapore, with adoption programmes in Saudi Arabia, Brazil and other countries.
- Scale

Singapore uses SIRI for manufacturing transformation diagnosis. Saudi Arabia promotes adoption through NIDLP, while Brazil’s SENAI incorporated it into Brasil Mais Produtivo consulting in 2024. The global figure describes the 2025 report’s coverage; programme targets and completed assessments are separate measures.
