3 years to get first product built with Panasonic Air-Conditioning as customer During pandemic Ideasparq helped vaccination centres with use of its robots A geek running a small software business, Asyraf Rahman's journey as an entrepreneur took a major turn when his ailing father asked him to take over the business. The father was a vendor to Proton. Asyraf immediately saw a major pain and choke point of the business. 'You are reliant on the machinery vendors, all of whom are based overseas,' he says.
3 years to get first product built with Panasonic Air-Conditioning as customerA geek running a small software business, Asyraf Rahman's journey as an entrepreneur took a major turn when his ailing father asked him to take over the business. The father was a vendor to Proton.
"With our background as software developers, we thought it would be an easy thing to do," says Asyraf, laughing at the memory of how naive they were about the task of building an autonomous industrial robot. It took a year. As the team found out, there is a gulf of difference between a final year project and an AGV that industry will approve of and use.
More promising is that a larger rollout with over 15 hospitals in on the cards. Hence the need for a larger team and new premises to build those robots. Ironically, the AGVs are still being built by hand and will likely remain so in the new plant as well, though there are aspect of production that will be automated in the new facility.Ideasparq was already engaging with Malaysian Technology Development Corporation before the pandemic with the agency helping it with market access.
