Clarion Malaysia has showcased its successful trial of Malaysia’s first 5G-enabled AI and robotics-based advanced manufacturing line. The automotive infotainment equipment company uses Cnergenz’s smart manufacturing solutions powered by Yes 5G Private Network.
The solution enables advanced automation and reduces processing time by 70%, which leads to lower operational costs and improved production quality.
Clarion Malaysia’s smart facility deploys Yes’ high-capacity, ultra-low latency Private 5G connectivity to support mission-critical operations and security requirements. Meanwhile, Cnergenz provides a smart manufacturing solution which includes cloud-based inventory systems and AI-powered Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) for Clarion Malaysia’s production line.
Together, these solutions provide seamless integration and real-time communication between employees and machinery orchestrated by next-generation ERP and PLM from Dassault Systèmes to enhance production efficiency and quality.
Digital Minister Gobind Singh said, “I would like to congratulate Clarion Malaysia in launching First-in-Malaysia AI and Robotics based Advanced Manufacturing powered by 5G Private Network from YTL Communications. This collaboration with automation technologies from Cnergenz and Dassault Systèmes is a significant step in advancing Malaysia’s IR4.0 ambitions. 5G is not just for consumers, it will play a significant role in driving productivity and competitiveness for Malaysia. Having world-class public and private 5G networks will help drive significant economic uplift to the country and position Malaysia as an attractive hub for FDI.”
Meanwhile, Clarion Malaysia Managing Director Tan Teong Khin said, “The deployment of our AI-enabled smart factory is made possible by our partnership with Yes and Cnergenz, where their technical expertise and solution capabilities are pivotal in the implementation of this game-changing innovation. By embracing the Yes 5G Private Network and AI-based innovation, Clarion Malaysia is now able to digitally transform our manufacturing approach and reduce our processing time by 70%, with enhanced materials management, improved efficiency and higher quality—leading to lower operational costs and better production quality.”
According to YTL Communications CEO Wing K Lee, they are proud to be the first to bring private 5G network to advanced manufacturing. He shared that manufacturing is not just about cost management but also about actionable intelligence and adaptability. He said Yes 5G Private Network provides critical high-capacity, ultra-low latency communications fabric to enable next-generation smart manufacturing, integrating AI and robotics into the factory floor.
Wing added, “The Yes 5G Private Network, based on the latest 5G SA (Standalone) Network standard, is designed to meet the mission-critical requirements
for enterprise customers with world-class end-to-end security and resiliency. This has provided Clarion Malaysia unparallel flexibility to enable instrumentation and
automation anywhere inside the factory in a secured manner.”
According to Yes, the private network is developed in conjunction with Intel and QCT, and it adheres to the third generation partnership project (3GPP) global standards for 5G SA (Standalone) and Network Security Assurance Scheme (NESAS) for the highest level of 5G security.
On top of providing high-speed connectivity, the Yes 5G Private Network deploys Intel Xeon Scalable processors to offer robust security as the traffic is entirely self-contained on-site. The private 5G network covers from device to radio to 5G SA core, to provide the lowest latency and highest level of protection and resilience, making the Yes 5G Private Network highly suitable for mission-critical deployments.
