April, 23, 2026

Dialog Enterprise, the corporate solutions arm of Dialog Axiata PLC and Sri Lanka’s number one ICT solutions provider, has partnered with Star Garments Pvt Ltd to enable next-generation textile manufacturing through advanced 5G-powered solutions, enhancing operational efficiency, automation and real-time decision-making across its production ecosystem.

Through this collaboration, Dialog Enterprise is equipping Star Garments with cutting-edge 5G connectivity to support the transition toward a fully digital, intelligent, and responsive manufacturing environment. The deployment focuses on integrating Industrial IoT (IIoT), real-time analytics, and smart factory capabilities to modernise existing systems and drive greater production agility.

The adoption of 5G technology marks a significant milestone in the evolution of Sri Lanka’s textile industry. With ultra-low latency, high bandwidth, and the ability to connect thousands of devices simultaneously, 5G enables seamless communication between machines, sensors, and systems on the factory floor. This facilitates real-time data exchange, predictive maintenance, and AI-driven quality control, ultimately improving productivity while reducing downtime and operational costs.

Additionally, 5G-powered smart manufacturing enables enhanced automation, robotics integration, and digital twin capabilities, allowing manufacturers like Star Garments to simulate, monitor, and optimise production processes in real time. These advancements support higher product quality, improved supply chain visibility, and greater flexibility in meeting global demand.

Jeevith Senaratne, Chief Operating Officer from Star Garments Pvt Ltd, added, “Partnering with Dialog Enterprise allows us to modernise our manufacturing operations and embrace Industry 4.0 technologies. The integration of 5G into our production environment enhances visibility, reduces inefficiencies, and positions us to deliver superior quality products while responding faster to market demands.”

Commenting on the partnership, Navin Pieris, Group Chief Officer from Dialog Enterprise, stated, “Through our advanced 5G capabilities, we are enabling Star Garments to transition into a smart manufacturing model that leverages real-time intelligence, automation, and connected systems. This collaboration reflects our continued commitment to empowering Sri Lanka’s industrial sector with future-ready digital infrastructure that drives efficiency, innovation, and global competitiveness”.

By leveraging 5G as the backbone of smart manufacturing, Dialog Enterprise continues to play a pivotal role in accelerating digital transformation across Sri Lanka’s industrial landscape, empowering businesses to unlock new levels of performance, scalability, and innovation in an increasingly competitive global market.
