Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn has undertaken royal duties in Rayong province.
At 8:56 a.m. on Tuesday (Nov 3), Her Royal Highness Princess Sirindhorn proceeded to Vidyasirimedhi Institute of Science and Technology (VISTEC) in Wang Chan district, Rayong province, to present doctoral and master’s degrees to 12 VISTEC graduates of the graduating class of 2019. The Princess also conferred certificates on representatives of the Kamnoetvidya Science Academy (KVIS) and presented scholarships to students with outstanding academic achievements.
Her Royal Highness then delivered a speech to the graduates, saying “All the graduates have now attained advanced education and have acquired knowledge from teachers who are able to deliver their best at all times. This is the time for the graduates to apply their knowledge in their work and make positive contributions to others. In the work environment, the graduates will see different perspectives of the world and meet many types of people. You will begin to understand that not everything in your work and lives will meet your expectations. I ask everyone of you always to have self-awareness. Train yourself to become stronger and be reasonable when making decisions. Graduates should not be neglectful, and should strive to increase their knowledge and stay up-to-date. Continue improving your skills because the world is changing quickly and new knowledge is created all the time. Failing to do so will make you fall behind. It is like a boat struggling to move against the current. In the future, when you have to face challenges, your skills and knowledge will be able to alleviate the hardship. Knowledge is valuable, as an old saying goes: A lesson learned can bring in an abundance of wealth.”
Her Royal Highness Princess Sirindhorn then received various groups, who presented funds and souvenirs to Her Royal Highness. The Princess presented souvenirs to the donors in return.
At 1:50 p.m., Her Royal Highness Princess Sirindhorn attended the opening of the Intelligent Operation Center (IOC) Building of the Wang Chan Valley Development Project. It is situated in the Eastern Economic Corridor of Innovation (EECi) in Rayong province.
The IOC Building is an important part of the Wang Chan Valley Development Project’s infrastructure and public utility management. It is designed to support the Smart City development, encompassing seven aspects, such as the environment, energy and finance. The IOC uses modern operating and tracking systems, with real-time data reporting capabilities, to support its functions around the clock. The center is able to manage and analyze relevant data quickly and accurately, and is efficient in managing various tasks and functions.
On this occasion, Her Royal Highness observed an exhibition by different organizations. They were as follows:
True Corporation Public Company Limited (TRUE), which presented the development of 5G holographic communication and the use of drones to monitor emergency situations.
Total Access Communication Public Company Limited (DTAC) presented the use of 5G to help farmers increase their yields. Farmers can use the technology, such as drones and cameras, to monitor crop growth and weather conditions while dealing with weeds. Currently, the Chaipattana Foundation is using this technology in the highlands of Fang district, Chiang Mai province.
Advanced Info Service Public Company Limited (AIS) presented a security robo, developed to inspect and survey industrial estates and conduct temperatue checks. The robot is equipped with a 360-degree camera.
The IOC also serves as an emergency and public relations center through monitoring and coordinating with other agencies in Wang Chan Valley during emergencies.
