OUR CORPORATE STATEMENTS

WE HELP ENGINEER SOLUTIONS THAT UNLEASH HUMAN CREATIVITY.

4D Systems believes in the importance of intuitive technology that helps solve human needs and problems. We passionately believe that technology cannot just be a tool that is autonomous of people, but rather exists to make our choices more efficient, smarter, and sustainable. Amongst the most intuitive ways we interact with technology is through display and touch. We therefore design technology to shape the way humanity interacts with the world, and which makes complex computing stylish, simple, and smart – right at our fingertips.

WE EMPOWER FORWARD-THINKING ENGINEERS, DESIGNERS, AND ORGANISATIONS WITH THE ABILITY TO ACHIEVE THEIR OBJECTIVES USING OUR INTELLIGENT DISPLAY SOLUTIONS.

4D Systems provides commercially-ready embedded graphics display solutions for virtually any application. With ISO:9001-certified manufacturing facilities, we focus on delivering the highest level of quality and customer experience. We recognise the growing importance of human-intuitive and intelligent technologies. We therefore offer technology that meets the needs of a diverse range of users, applications, and industries. Our mission to produce creative display solutions of the highest standards is backed by 4D Systems’ commitment to greater environmental responsibility and a proactive responsiveness to human needs.

TO BE THE PRIMARY INTERFACE PROVIDER FOR HUMAN INTERACTION WITH SMART TECHNOLOGY

Industry 3.0 witnessed the transformation of production from mechanical to computerised automation. Today, Industry 4.0 is taking automation to the next dimension with advances in computerised decision-making, increasingly interconnected devices, and artificial intelligence. We are acutely aware of this transformative shift in technology and recognise that a connection to human endeavours needs to be preserved. The fourth dimension of the future is to continue to utilise technology that makes human intelligence smarter. 4D Systems is making human intelligence smarter today and into the future.

1. COURAGE IN CREATIVITY

Every light bulb moment comes from the audacity to dream of possibilities untold. Innovation is our passion, driven by a rigorous methodology in creating products and solutions for ourselves and others.

2. DRIVEN BY SOLUTIONS

Tailored, customised, and cost-effective solutions can only be developed when we dig deep and truly understand the objectives of our customers to solve problems and meet needs. We thrive on this passion to explore new options to meet a variety of needs as technology progresses.

3. HUMAN FIRST

For 15 years our team has forged its reputation as a global leader through relationships and understanding the people we work with. We treat our partners the way we would like to be treated, and we create products that are intuitively human. From all of us at 4D Systems, we believe this is the only way forward.

4. SHARED PERFORMANCE OUTCOMES

We believe in closely aligning our goals and sharing our achievements. These shared outcomes are between our staff, our engineers, and our customers. We are always determined to meet challenges together: from time-to-market, creative goals, quality benchmarks, to commercial objectives.

5. OUR PRINCIPLES DO NOT BEND

As an ISO:9001-certified entity, we have a relentless focus on quality across everything we do. This is reflected not only in how we exceed our customers’ expectations, but also through living and breathing our commitment to environmental responsibility and humane capital practices.

4D PHILOSOPHY FOR EXCELLENCE

4D PHILOSOPHY FOR EXCELLENCE

The 4D Philosophy for Excellence is our continued commitment to design and manufacture the best solutions for our customers that meet the highest standards of quality, service and function.

And, we have developed a system to do exactly that: our internally developed framework for excellence is called THE AKNAR METHOD.

The AKNAR METHOD borrows inspiration from existent best practices that are contemporarily practised in the wider industry, to create a hybrid Philosophy that is unique to 4D SYSTEMS.

THE AKNAR METHOD

THE AKNAR METHOD

AGILITY

• We are quick to analyse what provides optimal solutions & removes roadblocks to efficiency

• We are quick to shift to prioritise resources & efforts for best outcomes for our customers

• We evolve quickly towards better processes by adopting best improvement opportunities in keeping with our Vision

KNOWLEDGE

• We make informed decisions that are based on data, rather than assumptions

•We embrace critical feedback as an opportunity to understand problems in order to solve them

• We develop knowledge resources that help us explore better production methods in line with our Purpose

RESPONSIBILITY

• We utilise knowledge resources to make decisions that are as agile as they are lasting

• We minimise risks by having clear best practices that enable clarity of action

• We amplify our belief in our Purpose, Vision, Mission and Values by living them to our best ability

NETWORK

• We develop long-term & balanced relationships with our suppliers that help amplify our Values

• We develop strategic alliances with our partners that help fulfill our Mission

• We nourish & respect both our workplace colleagues as well as our customers that help us to walk together the story of our Humane Cosmology

ADAPTABILITY

• We utilise our agility & knowledge resources to adapt to disruptions as well as improvements

• We listen to & engage with our networks to learn, improve and adapt to the constant of change by maintaining high standards of quality in everything we do

• We embrace change without losing focus, and we explore ideas without delaying resolution of decisions

The THE AKNAR METHOD enables our organisation to go beyond systems that often narrowly focus on problem-solving & standardisation only. By being agile, knowledge-driven, network built on relationships, adaptable to change and resolute on decision-making, the 4D Philosophy for Excellence is brought to life in all departments of 4D SYSTEMS.

OUR COSMOLOGY

As a Sydney-based Australian company, we are honoured and proud to be part of this nation. We have a deep respect for the indigenous heritage of where 4D SYSTEMS was founded.

Our Cosmological artwork is inspired by the Dreamtime Stories of the indigenous people of Australia, depicting our place on the land that transcends business alone and honours humanity as well.

4D SYSTEMS is committed to diversity as an integral part of Australia in general, and part of its workplace culture in particular. We are deeply grateful to the Traditional Custodians of the land we find ourselves in, and we pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the land from the Darug and the Eora People, past and present.

THE MAIN ART

The 2 main circles – represents the meeting point with our partners, anywhere on earth where we are readily available. The outer circle is the path connecting all other circles, forming the overall 4D SYSTEMS ecosystem. The path is lined with light, carrying our vision to make human intelligence smarter. A blue vein runs through the path carrying the purity of water representing our commitments nourished by high ethical standards. The inner concentric dots is the convergence of people towards the 4D SYSTEMS ecosystem directing us to the center: the 4D diamond being the ultimate meeting place who seek high quality and excellence. Surrounding the 4D diamond are four colours representing our openness to innovation as well as all who dare to think beyond norms but are cognisant of our humanity.

The four colours represent the universal 4 human qualities representing fire (yellow), wind (white), earth (brown), and water (blue).

THE SECONDARY ART

The 2 outer circles – acknowledges our external partners; distributors as well as custom clients. They are connected to the overall 4D SYSTEMS ecosystem via the path that traverses globally. 4D diamonds along the path represent and honour the existing 4D SYSTEMS customers into our tribe: they are celebrating their success by using 4D SYSTEMS solutions. They cheer along all those who dare to walk the path too, to become part of the 4D ecosystem. The black circles along the path are a mystery that only 4D SYSTEMS knows about, and which culminates in the large black circular background in the four main circles, where the secrets of the 4D SYSTEMS solutions are unlocked and revealed to those who embrace the 4D SYSTEMS solutions and become part of the tribe.

The four colours represent the universal 4 human qualities representing fire (yellow), wind (white), earth (brown), and water (blue).
