Industrial automation / Industry 4.0 
 
WHAT 
  • Recognizing the importance of modernizing the local manufacturing sector, the government has begun incentivizing the industry to embrace automation adoption and runs a multitude of incentive programmes including funds and grants. 
  • A large portion of Malaysian companies have automated fewer than 50% of their processes. Only 20% among SMEs. 
  • The manufacturing sector's failure to modernize is linked to Malaysia's heavy dependence on foreign investment, which predominantly prioritizes low value-added production. 

 

HOW 

The government is committed to assist more local manufacturers to adopt automation and runs a multitude of incentive programmes such as The Automation Capital Allowance (Automation CA), Industry4WRD Intervention Fund, and Automation Project Initiatives (API).
