If you’ve been following automation trends, you might have come across a new buzzword: cobots. Cobots, short for collaborative robots, are not like the traditional industrial robots you see fenced off behind safety barriers. Instead, they are specifically designed to work safely alongside human operators,...

The future of factories and engineering isn’t just about robots and AI. It’s about people with the right skills to build and run these systems.

Ever since the emergence of Industry 4.0, the rise of automation sparked fear in many workers from different industries. People worried that robots and machines would replace their roles, leaving them without jobs or direction. But as automation becomes more common, a surprising truth is emerging: instead...

As robots become a normal part of factories, warehouses, and even offices, ensuring safety is critical, not just for people, but for the machines and the business. If not managed properly, robotic systems can cause accidents, downtime, or even damage to products. But with the right steps, we can create...

Malaysia is rapidly positioning itself as a regional leader in automation and artificial intelligence (AI), with a series of ambitious initiatives designed to transform its digital economy, boost productivity, and create future-ready jobs. With strong support from global tech giants like Microsoft and...

In today’s fast-changing world, the way factories operate is going through a major transformation. This shift is part of what's called Industry 4.0—a new era of manufacturing powered by smart technology. At the heart of this revolution are smart factories, which are more efficient, connected, and intelligent...

In industries where long work hours are common—such as manufacturing, logistics, and transportation—operator fatigue has become a significant concern. Extended shifts and repetitive tasks contribute to mental and physical exhaustion, increasing the likelihood of human error. These errors can lead to...

We live in a world where machines build our cars, pack our groceries, and sort our packages at lightning speed. Automation is no longer the future—it’s the present. But there’s one critical piece that often gets overlooked: maintenance. Machine maintenance is not just fixing things when they break. It’s...

The Malaysian automation sector undergoes major changes because more pick-and-place robots get integrated into operations. Multiple industries including electronics manufacturing and food processing are witnessing changes due to these adaptable machines. The capability of these systems to execute repetitive...

Although automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are sometimes used interchangeably, they are two different ideas with different uses and applications. Understanding the quickly changing technology world requires an understanding of their peculiarities.
