As the world's second-largest producer of palm oil, contributing one-third of the global supply, Malaysia stands at the forefront of the industry. At Bosch Rexroth Malaysia, we have been a pivotal partner in this vital sector for over four decades, providing a comprehensive range of end-to-end products and services in palm oil mill operations.

The year 2024 marks a significant turning point for Malaysia's palm oil sector. With the government's budget initiatives focusing on increasing productivity, reducing reliance on foreign labor, and promoting sustainability, we see an era of major transformation unfolding. Notably, automation tax breaks underscore the government's commitment to integrating advanced technology into this sector.
Despite the sector's optimism, we recognize the challenges it faces, particularly its traditional reliance on labor. Historically labor-intensive, the palm oil industry is now at a crossroads, where mechanization and automation can boost productivity and make job opportunities more appealing to the local workforce. We at Bosch Rexroth are committed to driving this shift, enhancing efficiency and revitalizing the industry's labor market.
At the recent PIPOC 2023 - MPOB International Palm Oil Congress and Exhibition, we were proud to showcase our innovative solutions that are set to redefine the palm oil industry through enhanced mechanization and automation. The highlight of our exhibit was the integration of our advanced ctrlX AUTOMATION platform into traditional palm oil processes.
The ctrlX AUTOMATION platform is a prime example of our commitment to innovation. Operating on a real-time Linux system, it synergizes app programming technology, web-based engineering, and IoT connectivity within an open-standard framework. This integration not only streamlines control and monitoring but also significantly boosts operational efficiency. Discover more about ctrlX AUTOMATION.
