Advancing Connected Industries in ASEAN

December 11, 2025

This booklet highlights eight real-world deployments at the frontier of Asia–Pacificʼs digital economy, where enterprises, governments, and technology providers are using advanced connectivity to solve critical operational challenges. Spanning smart manufacturing, logistics, transport infrastructure, mining, and urban management, these case studies illustrate how 5G, private LTE, AI, and data-driven solutions are redefining safety, efficiency, and resilience across the region.

In Thailand, AIS and Alliance Laundry Systems deployed the countryʼs first 5G mmWave network in a manufacturing facility, connecting more than 300 devices for real-time production insight. The deployment enabled instantaneous machine data capture, latency-free video monitoring, and seamless integration with global R&D centers, demonstrating how advanced connectivity enhances manufacturing precision and coordination.

In Malaysia, CelcomDigi and government partners introduced an AI-powered traffic intelligence platform to support smart city development. By combining telco intelligence with multi-agency data sources, the pilot in Petaling Jaya models congestion, optimizes traffic light cycles, and reduces reliance on large-scale IoT hardware, establishing a scalable foundation for smarter urban mobility.

Malaysiaʼs logistics sector has also advanced through CelcomDigiʼs 5G-powered autonomous warehousing solutions with ZTE, DHL, and CEVA Logistics. Robotics, drones, and AI-driven warehouse systems have delivered up to 20 times faster stock counting, 70 percent space optimization, and major improvements in accuracy and turnaround time, strengthening national supply chain performance.
