KUCHING, June 12: PETRONAS’ project management and technical services commercialisation arm, PETRONAS Global Technical Solutions Sdn Bhd (PGTSSB), and the Malaysia Automotive Robotics and IoT Institute (MARii) have entered a strategic collaboration aimed at revolutionising vehicle maintenance through advanced technology.

According to a press statement released by Bernama, the collaboration focuses on harnessing PETRONAS’ Advanced Diagnostic and Prognostic Technology (ADaPT), a predictive analytics technology developed to optimise assets’ structural performance for the energy sector and applying it to the automotive industry under the ADaPTiV initiative.

The partnership was formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between MARii and PGTSSB, witnessed by Liew Chin Tong, Deputy Minister of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI).

Leveraging ADaPT technology driven by artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics, ADaPTiV is set to provide intelligent, real-time predictive maintenance for vehicle components. This innovative technology is set to improve vehicle reliability, enhance safety, prolong component lifespan, and offer significant cost savings by optimising maintenance schedules.

PETRONAS senior general manager of Group Technical Solutions, Projects, Technology and Health, Safety, Security and Environment (PT&HSSE), Mazri Mohd Ali remarked, “PETRONAS is excited to partner with MARii to introduce our ADaPT technology into the automotive sector through the ADaPTiV initiative.

“This collaboration is a testament to our commitment to technical and engineering excellence, as we adapt and extend our solutions to new industries. We believe that ADaPTiV will deliver significant value by enhancing vehicle reliability, safety, and operational efficiency, driving cost savings and contributing to a more sustainable transportation landscape in Malaysia.”

MARii chief executive officer Azrul Reza Aziz stated, “This strategic partnership with PETRONAS is a landmark moment for MARii and the future of mobility in Malaysia. ADaPTiV represents a powerful convergence of MARii’s automotive expertise and PETRONAS’ world-class predictive analytics, enabling us to build a more intelligent and reliable vehicle ecosystem.

“This initiative is a direct embodiment of our commitment to fostering local innovation and achieving the ambitious goals set forth in NIMP 2030 and NAP 2020.”

ADaPTiV features powerful AI-powered predictive analysis that forecasts potential component failures and suggests necessary actions before breakdowns occur. Through IoT integration, the system collects real-time data from vehicle components, enabling condition-based maintenance that is both timely and effective. With Big Data Analytics, actionable insights are generated to improve vehicle operational efficiency and support smarter driving behavior. – DayakDaily
