KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia Automotive Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) has collaborated with PETRONAS Global Technical Solutions Sdn Bhd (PGTSSB) to revolutionise vehicle maintenance through advanced technology.
PGTSSB serves as Petroliam Nasional Bhd’s (PETRONAS) project management and technical services commercialisation arm.
In a statement, MARii said the collaboration centred on deploying PETRONAS’ Advanced Diagnostic and Prognostic Technology (ADaPT) in the automotive sector through the ADaPTiV initiative.
“This predictive analytics technology, originally developed to optimise asset performance in the energy sector, will now be adapted for the automotive industry,” it said.
ADaPTiV features powerful artificial intelligence(AI)-driven predictive analysis to forecast potential component failures and recommend preventive actions before breakdowns occur.
“Integrated with the Internet of Things (IoT), the system collects real-time data from vehicle components, enabling condition-based maintenance that is both timely and effective.
“Combined with big data analytics, it generates actionable insights to enhance vehicle operational efficiency and support smarter driving behaviour,” the statement said.
The institute said the initiative addresses the evolving technological demands of the automotive sector while aligning with Malaysia’s national strategic objectives.
“ADaPTiV supports the development of next-generation vehicles and mobility-as-a-service in line with the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 and the National Automotive Policy 2020, reinforcing the nation’s commitment to smart mobility and sustainable transportation,” it said.
MARii chief executive officer Azrul Reza Aziz described the partnership as a milestone for both MARii and the country’s future mobility landscape. — Bernama
