By Zufazlin Baharuddin
SUBANG JAYA, July 24 (Bernama) -- Dobot Malaysia Sdn Bhd is eyeing RM3 million in revenue this year following the expansion of its footprint in Malaysia.
Country manager (Malaysia and India) Kent Goh said the opening of Dobot Robotics subsidiary in the country marks a key milestone in its global expansion to drive technological innovation.
“We want to improve productivity to drive Industry 4.0 adaptation.
“Besides, the demand for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance is accelerating the adoption of technology while rising wages and tighter controls on foreign labour intake are also driving demand for automation,” he told Bernama after Dobot Malaysia branch’s grand opening here today.
Dobot Robotics is a global research and development (R&D) as well as manufacturing company specialising in intelligent collaborative robots based in China.
The company, founded in 2015, has shipped over 80,000 units globally to more than 80 countries.
Goh said Dobot Robotics has also been selling robots in Malaysia, with over 500 units sold over the past five years.
Hence, Goh said Dobot Malaysia will focus on the automotive and consumer electronics sectors with the product offering ranging from RM10,000 to more than RM100,000.
Meanwhile, Dobot Robotics co-founder Jun Jie Xie said in his opening remarks that Dobot Malaysia aims to boost its growth by focusing on four key strategies, mainly by empowering smart manufacturing, deepening industry-education integration, enhancing localised services as well as co-building an innovation ecosystem.
“Dobot will offer tailor-made solutions for local manufacturers, optimising precision and efficiency in processes like electronics assembly, welding and quality inspection, enhancing global competitiveness.
“By partnering system integrators, technology providers and manufacturers, Dobot aims to develop a collaborative robotics ecosystem that drives innovation and end-to-end automation solutions,” he said.
On its outlook, Goh said the company also plans to expand to Penang next year to gain more market share in Malaysia.
