Industry 4.0 is revolutionizing the way companies around the world work, and Malaysia-based firms are taking advantage of government initiatives that are positioning them on the leading edge of the global manufacturing sector.
Extensive government support means that businesses with operations in Malaysia—both domestic and foreign—can integrate the latest technologies, from cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI) to the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics and machine learning.
A new generation of smart factories will operate more safely and efficiently—and be kinder to the environment—thanks to enhanced automation and customer service, a nimbler supply chain and clearer visibility across the organization, inevitably improving business outcomes.
This is the goal of Malaysia’s National Policy on Industry 4.0 blueprint, better known as Industry4WRD. Unveiled in late 2018, today it is powering the digital transformation of the country’s manufacturing sector and connected services by bringing together people, processes and technology.
