An article on “The Journey Towards Automation” is published on 9th July 2018 in section Industry 4.0 which share the view of CEOs on the journey of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) towards manufacturing automation process.
Mr. Tang Chong Chin, The President of Malaysia Knitting Manufacturers Association (MKMA) said it is a challenge of understanding how to get the automation process started and apply for incentives or grants thru Malaysian Investment Development Authority (Mida) and SIRIM. Thus the association co-organized seminars with Mida for MKMA members.
Says Tang, in the textile industry, the upstream players (such as yarn-spinning factories) can automate more than the downstream players (such as garment factories).
He added “The adoption of automation can result in savings in terms of hiring manpower and energy consumption. It can also decrease defect rates.”
He started the automation journey by identifying processes that could be automated. He had implemented Elastic Splice Machine, Pattern and digitizing software, Productivity and quality inspection software.” He had claimed an estimated RM3.5 million in the past three years.
He urged that “Companies should talk to the Malaysian Investment Development Authority before buying any equipment and ask questions if they are not sure.” The ultimate aim is to improve the automation level in your factory so you can be more competitive.

Dog Year 1st Working Day 开工大吉
19 Feb 2018 marked the new year opening with traditional Lion Dance and new outlook / cloths on everybody.
The climax of the Lion Dance is the “Cai Qing” or ‘Picking the Green’ session. The green refers to vegetable leaves which are tied to a piece of red string together with a red packet. The string is hung above the door frame for the lion to pluck the green and the red packet.
Lying on the floor the leaves are ‘chewed’ by the lion while the musicians play a dramatic rolling crescendo. The lull is broken as the lion explodes back into activity, spitting out the leaves.
This is a symbol of blessing by the lion, with the spitting out of the leaves signifying an abundance, prosperous and fruitful year ahead.
