Advantech Co Ltd has signed three strategic MoUs at the Advantech ASEAN Connect Conference 2026, marking a push to fast-track deployment of market-ready solutions in industrial networking, energy storage and predictive maintenance across the region.
The agreements, signed with Malaysia’s Open RE Sdn Bhd, Thailand’s Get On Technology Co Ltd and a consortium comprising Qonnect (BIIC Co Ltd) and Australia’s Pacific Automation Pty Ltd, signal a shift from technology development to execution, focusing on scalable solutions with immediate commercial application.
The partnership with Open RE will drive the development and rollout of a Battery Energy Storage System Total Solution in Malaysia.
By combining Advantech’s Edge AI and IoT platforms with Open RE’s energy optimisation software, the collaboration aims to enhance battery monitoring, lifecycle management and cost efficiency for industrial users, while supporting national renewable energy goals.
Advantech’s MoU with Get On Technology will focus on deploying industrial cellular router solutions and promoting CNC-related applications. The collaboration includes joint sales initiatives, workshops and proof-of-concept deployments, with the goal of accelerating digitalisation and enabling scalable smart manufacturing practices across the country.
The third MoU, involving Qonnect and Pacific Automation, targets the expansion of AI-driven predictive maintenance solutions across ASEAN and Australia.
By integrating hardware, software and engineering capabilities, the partnership aims to improve equipment monitoring, reduce downtime and enhance operational efficiency for industrial players.
Advantech executives said the agreements reflect growing demand for solutions that are not only technologically advanced but also ready for real-world deployment.
With these partnerships, Advantech is sharpening its focus on translating industrial intelligence into tangible business outcomes, helping enterprises move from pilot projects to scalable, real-world implementation across ASEAN.
