KUALA LUMPUR, March 27 — Japan External Trade Organisation is collaborating with government agencies and Japanese companies to accelerate adoption of Japanese Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing technologies among Malaysian small and medium enterprises as part of the Look East Policy cooperation.
“The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated digitalisation and pushed manufacturers to adopt solutions less manpower,” she told Bernama. The first phase was between 2019 and 2020; 10 business seminars introduced smart manufacturing technologies, attended by about 1,100. Online business matching workshops were conducted last year due to Covid-19 pandemic, she said.
SMEs will be able to procure the solutions once they get MIDA’s funding approval, and the enterprise resource planning software, for example, would then be integrated into their production line, Lai said.
