Pentamaster Corp Bhd, for example, supplies about 40% of its test equipment for the automotive sector.

Group executive chairman CB Chuah says the group will deliver approximately RM40mil of test equipment in the second quarter of 2016.

“About 40% of the test equipment are for the automotive segment, compared with 30% a year ago, while the remaining are generated from the smart device sector.

“We are projecting a double-digit percentage growth for our revenue and bottomline in 2016.

“We spend about 30% of the production cost to import raw materials, while the earnings are about 80% in US dollars,” he revealed.

In the first quarter this year, the group delivered about RM30mil of test equipment, a significant portion of which went to the automotive industry, according to Chuah.

EORGE TOWN: Semiconductor test-equipment Pentamaster Corp Bhd expects its sales for the first half of 2017 to exceed the figure it had achieved in the same period last year.

Group executive chairman C.B. Chuah told StarBiz that the group was confident of achieving more than RM70mil worth of sales for the first half of 2017.

“So far, we have locked in about RM40mil sales for the first of 2017, which is more than half of what we achieved in the same period of 2016.

“The demand for testers should remain strong until the second half, as there will be an increase in the number of new smart telecommunication products in the market.

“The new smart products would require testers to check their sensors,” he added.

Chuah said about half of the orders for the first half of 2017 were for the smart device industry, while the automotive industry generated the demand for the remainder.

The semiconductor test-equipment is expected to contribute about 60% of the group’s revenue.

This year, the group will focus on expanding its intelligent automated robotic manufacturing line business (IARM), which is expected to contribute about 15% to revenue, compared to about 5% previously.

“Companies in Malaysia looking to replace skilled workers are our main customers.

“The IARM is growing due to the interest to replace workers where high-precision engineering and fabrication skills are involved,” he added.

On the group’s new RM25mil plant in Batu Kawan, Chuah said construction work for the 100,000-sq-ft facility would begin in the second half of 2017.

“We plan to start operations mid-2018 to produce IARM line. The group develops its own software for the IARM line. The plant will also manufacture medical washers for the export market.

“The medical washers are used for cleaning of essential hospital equipments such as wheel chairs and walking sticks” he added.

According to a Transparency Market Research report, the artificial intelligence is a fast-emerging technology, dealing with development and study of intelligent machines and software.

This software is being used across various applications such as manufacturing (assembly line robots), medical research and speech recognition systems.

“It also enables in-build software or machines to operate like human beings, thereby allowing devices to collect, analyse data, reason, talk, make decisions and act,” the report said.

“The global artificial intelligence market was valued at US$126.24bil in 2015 and is forecast to grow at a compounded annual growth rate of 36.1% from 2016 to 2024 to reach a value of US$3,061.35bil in 2024,” it added.

腾达机构(Pentamaster Corporation)预期其1H17的销售额将会超越1H16。到目前为止，公司已录得总值约4,000万令吉的销售额，并且有信心能在1H17结束时达到7,000万令吉以上。

市场对测试器的需求应会保持殷切，由于市面上的智能电讯产品与日俱增。公司目前约一半的订单是来自智能器材领域，其余订单则是来自汽车业。预期半导体测试器的贡献将占公司收入的约60%。

公司计划在今年专心扩充其智能自动化生产机械业务。该业务得以取得增长是由于马来西亚的企业希望能在高精密工程与制造方面以机械来取代人工。

启示：腾达机构位于峇都加湾(Batu Kawan)总值2,500万令吉的新厂房将于2017年下半年动工，并计划于2018年中开始生产智能自动化生产机械。预期该业务将于2017年带来的贡献将占公司收入的约15%，之前的份额约为5%。

penta likely will sustain strong growth because of right industry. Test equipments are in strong demand right now, i don't know how long this demand will sustain but currently this is the right industry to look into.
