Malaysia's DuitNow, Singapore's PayNow to link in 2022
By Farah Adilla - September 27, 2021 @ 12:20pm

Quote:
KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) have today announced plans to start a phased linkage of Malaysia's DuitNow and Singapore's PayNow real-time payment systems.

In a statement today, Bank Negara said the project would enable more seamless payments for the high volume of remittances between Malaysia and Singapore, which reached RM4.2 billion in 2020.

"It will also cater to travellers between both countries, which saw sizeable pre-pandemic traffic of about 12 million arrivals yearly on average," the central bank added.

Bank Negara assistant governor Fraziali Ismail said by bringing the efficiencies observed in domestic payments to cross-border payments, the DuitNow- PayNow linkage would be a game-changer resulting in faster, cheaper and more accessible payment services for the people of both countries.

DHL Malaysia, Pen Aviation to deliver cargo via drones
By Ayisy Yusof - October 20, 2021 @ 5:48pm


Quote:
KUALA LUMPUR: DHL Express Malaysia has teamed up with Pen Aviation to commercialise time-critical goods deliveries using drones.

Pen Aviation is expected to undertake a proof-of-commercialisation (PoC) by this month to demonstrate the commercial viability of cargo drone delivery for port logistics missions.

Founder and managing director Jean-Bernard Boura said the PoC would be followed by certification exercise with the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia before it can commercially deploy the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) by the year end.

"We decide to tackle every single pain point that hinders UAV-based businesses today, starting with UAV designs that can meet aviation certification standards.

"But above and beyond the UAV design, we are excited to confront our overall ecosystem to DHL demanding cargo environment and demonstrate our business enabling logistics solutions, whatever the mile, whatever the mode of transportation," Boura said at a virtual conference after the memorandum of understanding on the matter between DHL Express Malaysia and Pen Aviation today.

The POC will also demonstrate the cost and time optimisation of a fleet of drones to streamline port logistics, and distribution activities for goods at commercial ports.

The POC allows Pen Aviation to undertake first- to last-mile port logistics missions jointly conducted by DHL Express and Raya Airways.

DHL Express Malaysia said the parnership would enhance its logistics capabilities to transport time-critical goods between ship decks and commercial ports.

DHL Express Malaysia and Brunei managing director Julian Neo said cargo drones would be the next generation of transportation in logistics.

"This PoC comes in the wake of the recent 12th Malaysia Plan announcement as the government highlighted the importance of seamless connectivity and reliability in transport and logistics," he said.

Neo said the use of drone technology would enable DHL Express to reach rural communities especially in Sabah and Sarawak where critical items such as vaccines, medicines, and medical devices would be needed.

Under the MoU, DHL and Pen Aviation will certify and use PEN55V drones to move shipments to seaports over long distances.

PEN55V, Pen Aviation's medium-size cargo drone, will pick up and drop off packages weighing up to 12kg from the cargo ship deck to the port and vice versa, both in the day and at night.

The long-term goal is to set up a mixed fleet of PEN55V and PEN1360V, Pen Aviation's heavy-size cargo drones designed and manufactured in partnership with Cavok-UAS.

PEN55V has a fly range of 50km with a maximum takeoff weight of about 55kg and payload capped at 15kg.

"The endurance is about 2.5 hours and it can fly at 110km/h maximum speed. It has vertical takeoff and landing capability. It does not need any runway and with limited infrastructure for take off and land. It can fly up 3,500m in altitude," said Boura.

Aerodyne Group targets 10pc market share in global drone services
By Ayisy Yusof - November 8, 2021 @ 8:49am



Aerodyne Group, Malaysia’s drone specialist, aims to secure about 10 per cent of the global market share for drone services as the sector is likely to hit a US$60 billion (RM249.21 billion) in size by 2030.

KUALA LUMPUR: Aerodyne Group, Malaysia's drone specialist, aims to secure about 10 per cent of the global market share for drone services as the sector is likely to hit a US$60 billion (RM249.21 billion) in size by 2030.

Founder and group chief executive officer Kamarul A Muhamed said the drone services industry is growing at about 51 per cent compound annual growth rate (CAGR).

"The industry is very competitive and is very much tech-driven. Our key focus is in research and design (R&D) and to continue expanding our market footprint globally," he told the New Straits Times recently.

Kamarul said Aerodyne Group has a presence in 35 countries with regional headquarters in 12 countries globally while reinforcing its leading position as the world's drone services company.

"With persistence, supported by our world-class team, we are determined to achieve our vision," he said.

Meanwhile, he said the industry (drone, data and digital transformation) is expected to collectively contribute RM50 billion to Malaysia gross domestic product (GDP) by 2030 while creating 100,000 jobs.

Kamarul said the adoption of drones had been steadily increasing over the years due to technology awareness and its proven ability to provide solutions that make business sense.

"Disruptive solutions are faster, better, cheaper and safer than the one that it replaces," he said.

Kamarul said the agriculture sector is leading the demand for drones and robotics technology mainly due to the acute shortage of labour as the pandemic disrupted the supply," he said.

Higher productivity and sustainability have been among the main elements in national plans and agricultural policies to strengthen Malaysia's food security, according to Economic Outlook 2022.

The report highlighted that Malaysia had been a net importer of food for many years, resulting in a growing food trade deficit from RM1.1 billion in 1990 to RM21.7 billion in 2020.

The main contributors to the 2020 deficit were cereals, cereal preparation representing 22.8 per cent, vegetables (18.9 per cent) and animals feed (17 per cent).

Kamarul said Malaysia is currently facing a food security crisis as the country imported over RM50 billion annually, equivalent to about RM1 billion on average for every week.

"It is the right time for Malaysia to shift from cheap labour strategy to high technology. A drone is one proven technology not just for mechanisation but also precision agriculture," he said.

Using drones and robotics technology would promote more sustainable farming and reduce dependence on manual labour for specific tasks.

This is one of the highlights for Malaysia to achieve sustainability across its agriculture sector to boost its food security.

Kamarul said Malaysia is one of the most advanced and pioneering countries to adopt drones technology.

He said some of Aerodyne Group's top drone-based solutions - critical assets management solutions for powerline, telecommunications, security, geospatial intelligence - were developed in Malaysia since 2016 and exported to over 30 countries globally.

"With the advent of fast and powerful 5G and cloud infrastructure, next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) driven swarm intelligence systems are currently being developed by Aerodyne in Malaysia.

"This will drive the digital economy in Malaysia even further while across key industries from agriculture to security, asset management (telco, power, oil and gas, renewables, highways, ports) and even security and surveillance," he said.

Kamarul said Aerodyne Group is focused on developing the next generation drone technology-driven via the AI-driven swarm intelligence platform, which is currently being tested.

"There are also many other groundbreaking data solutions that we put under close-wrap at the moment.

"Suffice to say, the future of the industry is in advanced data intelligence," he said.

Kamarul said Aerodyne is building a team of 500 AI engineers and data scientists over the next 24 months to propel the company to the next level of growth and global competitiveness.

MARii tracker to be first used by Manpower Dept to curb spread of Covid-19
Bernama December 15, 2021 23:27 pm +08



Quote:
KUALA LUMPUR (Dec 15): The MARii Tracker, developed locally by the Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii), will be first used in the Department of Manpower (JTM)’s skills training institutes to curb the spread of Covid-19.

“The MARii Tracker is a complete solution for contact tracing, social distancing compliance and location tracking to ensure continuation of skills training within JTM’s institutions.

“It is a device that tracks the movement of individuals within business premises and stores through contact tracing information, visitor logs, supply chain information, and standard operating procedure (SOP) enforcement, all in real-time and in the cloud,” MARii said in a statement.

During its launch at the Keluarga Malaysia Career Carnival by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, in conjunction with the 100-day Keluarga Malaysia Aspirations programme, the Ministry of Human Resources revealed that the tracker would be first used by JTM institutions to restrict the spread of Covid-19 among the trainees there.

"We are happy that the technology developed by MARii for the manufacturing sector has been identified and used by the education sector, in particular skills training where it is very difficult to train using the online method.

“The technology combines physical and digital technologies to ensure that activities in which on-location presence is required can continue within the new norms as we move towards the endemic stage of Covid-19,” said MARii chief executive officer Datuk Mohamad Madani Sahari in the statement.

“We believe the MARii Tracker gives the parents of trainees and students peace of mind that their children are in a safe and well-managed environment which will help prevent further outbreaks,” he added.

The Tracker device is worn by individuals within a premises, emitting an audible alarm when two or more dongles come within a range of less than one metre, indicating that social distancing protocols are not practised. The data is logged and analysed by the system administrator for corrective action to be taken.

If someone tests positive for the coronavirus. the administrators are able to track and identify areas exposed to infection through a cloud-based dashboard for the MARii Tracker. This makes it easier to identify and isolate the infected individuals' close contacts, while allowing those unaffected to continue working without risk.

This makes the MARii Tracker highly suitable for SOP compliance at premises such as schools and training institutions which require a large number of their people to be present on-site.
