Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the semiconductor industry, driving innovation and streamlining processes. Malaysia, a key player in the global electric and electronic (E&E) sector, contributed 5.8% to the GDP in 2023, with further growth anticipated this year following a 4.2% increase in Q1 of 2024, according to Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM). As Southeast Asia’s E&E leader, Malaysia aims to contribute RM120 billion to GDP and RM495 billion in export earnings by 2025, embracing knowledge-intensive and innovative approaches like e-commerce, IoT, automation, and AI to propel this growth.
For Malaysia, adopting AI is crucial to remain globally competitive and achieve high-income, high-tech nation status. MIMOS Berhad, under the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation (MOSTI), is spearheading this transformation with cutting-edge products and solutions that enhance everyday life.
Acting President & Chief Executive Officer Dr. Saat Shukri Embong emphasises, “AI’s impact spans manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and beyond, delivering cost savings, process improvements, and enriched customer experiences. At MIMOS, we are leveraging AI’s potential to drive innovation and technological advancement.”
Recent MIMOS innovations include:
- Inline NIR Spectroscopy Analyser (INSPECTRA): Real-time palm oil quality monitoring using NIR spectroscopy for process optimisation.
- Harvest-Ready Tree Detection: This system uses computer vision to identify oil palm trees ready for harvest. It detects loose fruitlets on the ground and maps tree locations, helping plantation owners efficiently deploy workers for harvesting.
- Machine Vision-Based Inline Quality Control (QC): AI-powered visual inspection system for complex defects under QC inspection in the manufacturing industry.
- Autonomous Chiller Control & Energy Efficiency (Mi-ACE): AI-driven energy efficiency improvements for large buildings.
- AI-Based Residential Energy Monitoring (AIREM): Insights into home energy consumption and carbon footprint.
- Artificial Intelligence for Near Infrared Spectroscopy (AINS): Rapid, scalable NIR analysis for diverse industries.
- Reagentless Vital Sign Analyser (REVA): Non-invasive health monitoring with AI-powered spectral analysis.
AI’s integration is set to revolutionise the semiconductor industry, enhancing efficiency, innovation, and market growth. From optimising manufacturing processes to revolutionising supply chain management, AI offers semiconductor companies a competitive edge, accelerating product development and opening new market opportunities.
