Oxford Innotech to ride on rising use of automation, robotics in manufacturing
PETALING JAYA: Integrated engineering solutions provider Oxford Innotech Bhd (OXB) is poised to capitalise on the rising adoption of automation in manufacturing as businesses increasingly seek solutions that enhance efficiency, ensure consistent quality and reinforce operational resilience in a competitive global market. OXB, which made its debut on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities on July 29, offers integrated engineering solutions, mechanical assembly solutions and automation and robotic solutions. Its automation and robotic solutions division designs and manufactures standalone automated equipment, production line systems as well as provides smart factory systems solutions and technical support services. Customers in this segment are mainly in semiconductor and electrical and electronics (E&E) industries. Managing director Ng Thean Gin said: 'In the era of Industry 4.0, smart factory systems utilise a variety of technologies including artificial intelligence, big data analytics, cloud computing and the Industrial Internet of Things. At OXB, we work with proven strategic partners to deliver automation solutions to our customers. Shanghai-based Jaka Robotics Co Ltd is one such important partner to us.' Jaka Robotics is a global player in collaborative robotics with a presence in China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Germany and the United States. It specialises in the development and production of collaborative robots or cobots designed for the manufacturing industry with the objectives to increase production capacity and efficiency, reduce reliance on physical labour, improve worker safety and solve high staff turnovers. Its solutions have been deployed in over 100 countries, with more than 10,000 cobots in operation worldwide supporting various industries such as automotive, E&E, semiconductor, new energy and food processing, to name a few. Ng said they are working with Jaka Robotics on a project for a US-based multinational contract manufacturer with presence in Penang to automate their assembly process by reducing manual operators and enhancing process consistency. He added that this is the first phase of the initiative with several more phases in the pipeline. 'With the automation trend picking up pace in the face of rising cost pressures, we see a lot of growth potential in our automation and robotics division,' Ng said. Meanwhile, the group is in discussions to pursue larger-scale projects for its precision engineering components solutions and mechanical assembly solutions segments. 'We are currently in discussions on several opportunities with our existing customers and hope to share some positive news in due course. We expect the fiscal year ahead to be very busy and remain confident in our long-term outlook,' Ng said.

Google announces Tennessee as site for small modular nuclear reactor
A Google sign is pictured on a Google building in the Manhattan borough of New York City, New York, U.S., October 20, 2020. REUTERS/Carlo Allegri NEW YORK (Reuters) -Google, with Kairos Power, has selectedTennessee as the site of an advanced nuclear power plant that is expected to supply electricity to the Big Tech company's data centers in the U.S. southeast starting in 2030, the companies said on Monday. WHY IT MATTERS Big Tech is requiring massive amounts of electricity to scale up technologies like generative artificial intelligence in energy-intensive data centers. Those record energy needs are driving U.S. power consumption to new highs and propelling the development of fresh power sources like next-generation nuclear energy. The Tennessee reactor is the first to be deployed as part of Google's corporate agreement, announced last year, to buy nuclear energy from multiple small modular reactors. The deal would support 500 megawatts of advanced nuclear capacity, which is enough to power about 350,000 homes, to be developed by California-based nuclear company Kairos. The 50-gigawatt small modular nuclear power plant will be built in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, under a long-term power purchase agreement with utility Tennessee Valley Authority, to deliver electricity to Google data centers locally and in the state of Alabama. KEY QUOTE 'This collaboration with TVA, Kairos Power, and the Oak Ridge community will accelerate the deployment of innovative nuclear technologies and help support the needs of our growing digital economy while also bringing firm carbon-free energy to the electricity system," said Google's Amanda Peterson Corio. The project marks the first time a U.S. utility has signed a power purchase agreement for so-called generation IV nuclear power, which is generally seen as the most sustainable and safe form of nuclear power technologies in development, the companies said. ENERGY SECRETARY WEIGHS IN 'The deployment of advanced nuclear reactors is essential to U.S. AI dominance and energy leadership," U.S. Energy Secretary ChrisWright said in a statement announcing the site selection. 'The Department of Energy has assisted Kairos Power with overcoming technical, operational, and regulatory challenges as a participant in the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, and DOE will continue to help accelerate the next American nuclear renaissance." Currently, there are no commercially available advanced nuclear power plants in the U.S. (Reporting by Laila KearneyEditing by Marguerita Choy)

HK-based artiste Kelvin Kwan loses wedding ring while touring KL with his wife
Hong Kong-based artiste Kelvin Kwan recently came to Malaysia with his wife, flight attendant Joann. Photo: Joann/Xiaohongshu (Red Note) Canadian singer-actor Kelvin Kwan recently visited Malaysia for work with his wife Joann, a flight attendant. During their stay in Kuala Lumpur, the couple – who tied the knot in 2024 after over six years of dating – took the chance to indulge in the famed King of Fruits. On Aug 16, Joann took to Chinese social media site Xiaohongshu (Red Note) to share photos of the two enjoying durians together. She admitted that while they don't usually eat durian, they were so taken by its taste that they bought 10 boxes to bring back to Hong Kong, where Kwan, 42, is based. 'They don't smell bad at all and are super delicious! We even bought 10 boxes to bring back to Hong Kong. We think the Musang King is the tastiest, followed by the Black Thorn,' Joann wrote in the caption. She also shared a lighthearted complaint, revealing that her husband had lost their wedding ring while sightseeing in KL. 'Forget it, he can buy me a new one when we're back in Hong Kong. Luckily, I wasn't wearing mine,' she joked, adding an angry emoji. A handful of netizens have left comments welcoming the couple to Malaysia, while others playfully teased Kwan for being careless enough to lose his wedding ring. 'Why is Mr Kwan so clumsy?' one fan wrote. Another quipped: 'How could you lose a ring? He deserves to be punished!' Joann replied to every comment and cheekily responded to one, saying: 'He has to kneel on the durians!'
