KUALA LUMPUR: NCT Group of Companies (NCT) has partnered with Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) to future-proof Selangor Smart Industrial Park (SSIP) through integrated digital solutions.
The company signed a collaboration agreement with TM enterprise and public sector business solution arm TM One for the plans.
NCT group managing director Datuk Sri Yap Ngan Choy said the role of TM is crucial in providing the groundwork and framework to realise the company's vision of creating a fully integrated end-to-end digital solution for its clients.
Yap said that with the development and application of advanced technology, NCT aims to set a new benchmark to transform the design of industrial parks in the country while playing an active role in advancing Malaysia's digital aspirations.
"Coupled with the immense economic potential, SSIP will continue to enhance Selangor's position as the top investment destination in the country," he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, TM One executive vice president Shazurawati Abd Karim said TM would support NCT's aspirations to establish a smart, efficient, resilient, and sustainable industrial park that will redefine the digitalisation of property developments in Malaysia.
"Aligning with TM's mission to become a human-centred technology company, our comprehensive solutions from connectivity to smart services and digital innovations will advance the quality and efficiency of businesses and residents within SSIP," said Shazurawati.
According to NCT, the collaboration is aligned with its aspirations to establish dynamic and future-ready property developments while redefining Malaysia's industrial park concept, with SSIP on track to become the first Managed Industrial Park (MIP) certified park in Malaysia.
"Integration of TM's robust and secure digital infrastructure for fixed and wireless connectivity and smart solutions will position SSIP as one of the leading industrial parks in Selangor to implement end-to-end digitisation across facilities.
"SSIP will offer a differentiated experience with the latest in smart innovations—becoming one of the leading developments in Malaysia to effectively implement end-to-end digitisation across all its facilities that will enable more efficient, modern, and sustainable operations," it said.
In addition to digitalising business and residential facilities, NCT said SSIP would include AI-managed centralised employee quarters complete with smart surveillance, supporting NCT's close to 10,000 workforce more efficiently in a safer and secure environment.
It said it would also house a Smart Wellness Centre leveraging TM One's comprehensive digital solutions.
"SSIP will reflect NCT's environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspiration and decarbonisation goals, with plans for 1,000 units of solar-ready factories and warehouses.
"Coupled with TM's Smart Service solutions such as Smart Surveillance, Smart Street Light, Smart Building, Smart Premise, Smart Parking and Smart Community, this will also factor into creating a comfortable and greener ecosystem in SSIP," it added.
