KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysia Automotive, Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) has entered into a strategic collaboration with PETRONAS Global Technical Solutions Sdn Bhd (PGTSSB) to transform the landscape of vehicle maintenance through cutting-edge diagnostic technologies.
PGTSSB, the commercialisation and technical services arm of Petroliam Nasional Bhd (PETRONAS), will work with MARii to deploy the Advanced Diagnostic and Prognostic Technology (ADaPT) platform within the automotive industry under the ADaPTiV initiative.
In a joint statement, MARii highlighted that ADaPT, originally engineered to enhance asset performance within the energy sector, will now be tailored to meet the evolving requirements of the automotive domain.
The ADaPTiV system harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to deliver predictive analytics capable of identifying potential component failures before they occur, enabling proactive maintenance strategies. Integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, the system captures real-time data from critical vehicle components, facilitating timely, condition-based interventions.
Further enriched by big data analytics, ADaPTiV produces actionable insights designed to optimise vehicle efficiency and encourage more intelligent driving behaviours.
This initiative is part of MARii’s ongoing commitment to support the development of next-generation vehicles and mobility-as-a-service solutions. It aligns closely with national policy directions outlined in the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 and the National Automotive Policy 2020, both of which prioritise smart mobility and sustainable transport.
MARii Chief Executive Officer Azrul Reza Aziz described the collaboration as a pivotal step forward in Malaysia’s pursuit of an advanced mobility ecosystem, signalling significant progress for both the institute and the broader national innovation agenda.
