Agilent Penang smart factory leads in Industry 4.0 with global recognition
KUALA LUMPUR: Agilent Technologies Malaysia Sdn Bhd's smart factory in Penang has been named a global leader in Industry 4.0 by the World Economic Forum and McKinsey & Company. The recognition highlights factories excelling in productivity, supply chain resilience, and talent development through cutting-edge technologies. Agilent Penang achieved a 40% productivity increase and 48% reduction in delivery lead times by integrating AI and digital solutions. The facility also lowered its environmental impact while enhancing workforce readiness for AI-driven manufacturing. Only two Malaysian factories earned this distinction, positioning Penang as a hub for advanced manufacturing excellence. Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeow praised Agilent for balancing tech innovation with sustainability and social responsibility. He noted the state's leadership in adopting 4IR and setting national benchmarks for smart manufacturing. MIDA CEO Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid highlighted Agilent's role in strengthening Malaysia's semiconductor value chain. He linked the National Semiconductor Strategy to industrial ecosystem growth, skills development, and infrastructure support. The NSS aims to transform Malaysia into a global hub for advanced chip design, manufacturing, and R&D over the next decade. Agilent's Chow Woai Sheng emphasised human-machine collaboration as key to adapting to market shifts and unlocking new opportunities. The company has upskilled 88% of its Penang workforce through digital training to support its 4IR transition. Agilent also partners with Malaysia's scientific community to advance AI applications in life sciences instrumentation. These efforts aim to accelerate global discoveries and improve quality of life through innovation. - Bernama

Buyer fatigue creeps into Australian bonds market
Yields at debt sales have risen closer to levels seen in the secondary market, with the rolling average gap between them at the tightest level since October. — Bloomberg SYDNEY: Australia's bond market is showing early signs of stress from the nation's massive borrowing plan this year, but the effect is being obscured by strong demand from foreign investors diversifying from US treasuries. Yields at debt sales have risen closer to levels seen in the secondary market, with the rolling average gap between them at the tightest level since October, according to a Bloomberg analysis of Australian Office of Financial Management (AOFM) data. A gauge of demand for the nation's government bonds has also fallen from this year's peak, but it remains above a three-year average. Slowing demand reflects the difficulty among investors to absorb fresh debt with the AOFM targeting bond sales of A$150bil (US$98bil) in the financial year through June 2026, up 50% from the last financial year. It also risks pushing up borrowing costs for local authorities looking to fund key projects such as a new train line in Sydney and the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane. 'The step-up in this year's increased issuance target is having some impact,' said Kenneth Crompton, head of rates strategy at National Australia Bank in Sydney. 'There is some fatigue. I'm not seeing this as the start of a concerning trend though,' he said, citing inflows from global investors seeking diversification. Australian bonds have benefitted from investors diversifying from treasuries on concern over President Donald Trump's policies. Buyers from Japan as well as Taiwanese life insurers have been snapping up the Antipodean debt. Nearly half of the A$16bil of government bonds maturing in 2036 were bought by foreign investors last month via a syndicated issuance, the highest allocation through such a sale since 2022. Demand from offshore investors has also seeped into credit markets, spurring record issuance of Australian dollar-denominated notes by foreign issuers, known as Kangaroo bonds, in the first half of the year. 'There are issuers keen to diversify,' said Oliver Holt, head of debt syndicate and IG origination for Asia ex-Japan at Nomura Holdings Inc. For trading, the Australian dollar credit market is much deeper than local currency markets in Singapore, Hong Kong or Japan, he said. Australia sold A$1.2bil 2035 bonds yesterday and is due to issue A$1.15bil more in the remaining week. Investors will be monitoring the demand for debt at these auctions after the Reserve Bank of Australia cut its key rate on Tuesday and signalled a 'couple more' reductions to achieve its latest forecasts. Meanwhile, the amount of outstanding local currency government bonds has already swelled by A$35.1bil in the first seven months of the year, based on AOFM data. That's a record except for during the pandemic in 2020 and 2021. 'We're taking a step back to think about what it all means for the market and how much of this supply will be fully absorbed,' said Jessica Ren, an investment manager at Yarra Capital Management, who recently bought Australian government and state debt. 'We can only observe that over time.' — Bloomberg

Bullen Ultrasonics Awarded U.S. Patent for Hands-Free Electrical Connector Powering Next-Gen Factory Automation
Bullen's patented connector enables safer, faster tool changes and supports lights-out manufacturing in Industry 4.0 environments EATON, Ohio, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bullen Ultrasonics, a leader in precision machining of advanced ceramics, glass and specialty materials using proprietary ultrasonic and laser-based technologies, has been awarded a U.S. patent for a new electrical connector that enables fully automated, hands-free tool changes to eliminate downtime, boost safety and advancing lights-out manufacturing. Designed specifically for high-performance, automated manufacturing, the patented connector enables robots to automatically pick up and drop off high-power, high-voltage tooling, such as Bullen's ultrasonic machining attachments, while keeping operators safely distanced from ergonomic hazards, high-voltage components and sharp edges. 'This patent highlights our focus as a company on addressing real-world manufacturing challenges,' said Tim Beatty, President of Bullen Ultrasonics. 'It represents our continued effort to develop practical, forward-looking solutions that support the evolving needs of the industry. We're excited to create new technologies that deliver real value for our customers and help advance the future of precision manufacturing.' In automated manufacturing, connectors must withstand repeated use, align without human input and handle high voltages safely. Bullen's patented design does all three while improving uptime and reducing maintenance. The innovation was developed by Bradley Jeffries, Senior Design Engineer, and Eric Norton, Research and Early Innovation Manager, in response to the harsh conditions of ultrasonic machining, where abrasive materials can corrode traditional components. Bullen's team engineered a compact, spring-loaded connector that self-aligns and locks into place, even amid vibration, dust or misalignment. It eliminates manual wiring, enabling seamless tool changes that increase machine uptime and support safer operation. The Bullen connector was developed as part of a fully automated production cell. In addition to robotic automation, the cell incorporates machine-to-machine data integration, creating a connected feedback loop that enhances yield and operational performance. Every part and process is tracked through a centralized system that enables proactive troubleshooting and continuous improvement. These capabilities position Bullen to integrate Artificial Intelligence and further advance its Industry 4.0 vision of a fully connected, data-driven factory. 'As the manufacturing sector moves toward fully autonomous operations, innovations like our new smart connector are key to unlocking safer, more efficient, 24/7 production,' said Beatty. 'By removing a long-standing friction point in automation, this innovation is the kind of practical, scalable advancement that modern factories need to stay competitive.' Bullen applied this innovation to all of its ultrasonic machines in its robotic cell. It's also exploring commercialization opportunities and strategic partnerships to expand the reach of its innovation, building on the company's decades of experience in supporting precision manufacturing in mission-critical sectors.
