Meanwhile, Maxis together with Alliance partner Omron were showcasing Autonomous Mobile Robots powered by Maxis’ next generation network, thus, enabling a plant to run everyday with zero downtime, reduced operational costs and improved safety and productivity for manufacturers.

It also invited enterprises to explore the capabilities at the Maxis Business Innovation Centre (MBIC) at Menara Maxis in Kuala Lumpur.

In the meantime Maxis, Huawei and Mimos were also fast-tracking industrial use cases enabled by 5G, IoT, Cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI) at the 5G and AI Innovation Hub at the Mimos campus.

The hub also served as a co-creation testbed for research and development and an incubator for innovative solutions.
