What Modu System (m) Sdn. Bhd. does

MODU System (M) Sdn. Bhd., operating as MODU Group, is a Malaysia-headquartered industrial automation vendor founded in 1995 that designs, manufactures, and integrates material handling and factory automation equipment for global manufacturers and food-service operators. The company operates through three core operating subsidiaries — MODU System (Modular Conveyor Systems), MODU Technologies (Factory Automation & Robotic Solutions), and MODU Automation (Smart Restaurant Automation) — supplemented by wholly-owned regional entities in the United Kingdom, Singapore, China (Shanghai), and Indonesia, and a network of channel partners across at least 10 additional countries spanning Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Oceania.

The product portfolio centers on a modular conveyor family (plastic chain, plastic belt, spiral, belt and roller, pallet handling, and the newly added slat-top series) built around anodized aluminum and moulded plastic components assembled with standard tools, ISO 9001 certified since 2003. This hardware base is extended into robotics via integration partnerships with Dobot (collaborative robots) and NavWiz (AGV navigation), into warehousing via the Four Wheel Shuttle Smart Warehouse built on MB Intelligence's AI dispatch system, and into industrial software via the MODU Connect IoT platform (digital twin, OEE, AR-enabled remote support) and META-aivi, a multimodal AI vision product combining computer vision with augmented reality for defect detection, SOP validation, and remote collaboration. The company also sells restaurant automation systems (sushi conveyors, food delivery robots, ordering/POS) under the MODU Automation brand.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time equipment sales bundled with project-based turnkey delivery (design, simulation, control system integration, installation), complemented by recurring-adjacent professional services in global service and support and control system integration. Pricing is custom and quote-driven with multi-year project contracts; no public pricing is disclosed. Customers span six verticals — Food & Beverage, Electrical & Electronics, Automotive (including EV battery lines), Infrastructure, Personal & Home Care, and Restaurant/Food Service — reached through direct enterprise field sales supplemented by event-driven demand generation at major international trade shows (Automex, Automate, Hispack, Pack Expo, Foodtech Packtech) and a multi-country distributor network.
