Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

MiR and KVC jointly debuted at SEMICON SEA 2024 the cutting-edge Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered AMR MiR1200 Pallet Jack and the compact powerhouse MiR250 in Malaysia. These agile and powerful autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) can effectively tackle complex environments and tight spaces where automation is challenging, yet necessary due to the growing scarcity of workforce.

Improving Productivity in Modern Manufacturing with AMRs 

As the world’s sixth largest semiconductor exporter holding a 7% of global market share, Malaysia is strengthening its ascent on the semiconductor value chain. Innovative solutions such as AMRs enable manufacturers to easily adapt to changing production requirements and workloads, while creating a safe and uplifting environment that attract and retain skilled workers.
