We are pleased to announce that Pacific Automation, alongside Qonnect, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Advantech at the Advantech ASEAN Connect Conference 2026, held in Penang on April 2-3.

This partnership marks an exciting step forward in our mission to deliver practical, scalable industrial solutions to our customers across ASEAN and Australia. The MoU focuses on expanding AI-driven predictive maintenance solutions across the region, bringing together the combined strengths of all three organisations to deliver real results for industrial operators.

By integrating Advantech's leading Edge AI and IoT hardware platforms with Qonnect's software capabilities and Pacific Automation's local knowledge, we are well positioned to offer customers a more complete and powerful solution. Together, this means better equipment monitoring, improved lifecycle management and a meaningful reduction in unplanned downtime, all of which translate directly to greater operational efficiency for industrial players.

This collaboration reflects a broader shift in the industry, away from standalone pilot projects and toward scalable, real-world implementation. Advantech's strategic direction of developing standardised, market-ready solutions that leverage AI to generate tangible business value aligns closely with how we at Pacific Automation approach our work with customers.

We are excited about what this partnership makes possible and look forward to delivering on its potential with our partners at Advantech and Qonnect.
