By incorporating AI and predictive maintenance, the company aims to enhance the efficiency and reliability of elevators, escalators, and automatic building doors, ensuring smooth people flow in high-rise buildings.
Teoh emphasized that Kone Malaysia’s predictive maintenance approach, supported by AI analytics, enables early issue detection to prevent breakdowns and streamline maintenance processes. By harnessing AI technologies, Kone Malaysia is revolutionizing maintenance services, offering intelligent, connected solutions that benefit both customers and technicians.
In conclusion, Malaysia’s AI Roadmap sets the stage for the country to emerge as a global AI leader, driving innovation, economic growth, and improved quality of life for its citizens. With a growing emphasis on AI across various sectors, Malaysia is poised to leverage AI technologies to shape a more efficient and connected future.
