Insights

ARB IOT's Smart AI Robot represents a significant technological advancement in precision agriculture, particularly for Malaysia's challenging palm oil industry. The system addresses a clear market need - by 2027, 35% of Malaysia's oil palm land will be overaged, with only 17% currently in the optimal age range for efficient harvesting.

The robot's technical specifications are impressive: centimeter-level positioning for ultra-precise fertilizer application, all-terrain capability for navigating Sabah and Sarawak's difficult topography (which comprises 55% of Malaysia's palm oil regions), modular design for versatility, and quick-replaceable batteries for extended field operations.

What distinguishes this system is its complete integration of the fertilization process: real-time soil NPK measurement, AI-driven analysis, and automated application create a closed-loop system that should significantly reduce waste while optimizing crop yield. The conversion of solid fertilizers to liquid form demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of nutrient absorption efficiency.

The system's versatility across multiple crop types (palm oil, durian, lychee, mango, citrus) suggests scalability beyond the initial palm oil market, potentially opening multiple revenue streams. The IoT sensor network for environmental monitoring adds another valuable data layer for precision agriculture.

This represents a well-timed solution for the agricultural labor shortage and sustainability challenges facing Malaysia's critical palm oil sector.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, March 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ARB IOT Group Limited (“ARB IOT” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ARBB) has unveiled its AI-powered fertilizer system that seamlessly integrates the intelligent multi-functional agricultural robot (“Smart AI Robot”). This innovation is set to revolutionize modern farming by optimising fertilisation processes, enhancing crop yield, and promoting sustainable farming. This advanced AI-powered robot represents a significant leap forward in precision agriculture.

The Smart AI Robot features unmanned field operations, modular design, all-terrain capability, centimetre-level positioning, ultra-long endurance, quick-replaceable battery, and precise operation, among others. It can be widely used in various types of plants such as palm oil, durian, lychee, mango, citrus, and orchards to realize unmanned spraying, mowing, fertilizing and delivery. The Company’s AI-powered fertilizer system will contribute to the materialization of a new mode of environmentally friendly agriculture production, through a series of new energy unmanned robotics and a big data platform that carry out intelligent and standardized management of various types of agricultural plants with fully automated fertilization, pesticide application, diagnostic scanning of plant and fruit conditions, and soil NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) measurement.

It is estimated that by 2027, approximately 35% of Malaysia’s oil palm land will be overaged. Currently, only approximately 17% of such land has trees in the optimal four to eight-year range where motorised cutters could be effective—though their performance remains inconsistent. In Sabah and Sarawak, which account for approximately 55% of Malaysia’s oil palm areas, the terrain is dominated by steep hills and vast peatlands.

The Company’s AI-powered fertilizer system utilizes cutting-edge machine learning algorithms and real-time soil data analysis to determine the precise amount of fertilizer needed for each section of farmland. When paired with the Smart AI Robot, the system is able to automate fertilizer application, minimize waste, maximize crop yield, and reduce environmental impact.

“Traditional farming methods often rely on manual labor and generic fertilizer application, leading to inefficiencies and excessive resource consumption. By integrating AI and automation, our Smart AI Robot empowers farmers with more efficient and sustainable farming practices. This technology is a major step towards addressing global food security and environmental challenges” said Dato’ Sri Liew Kok Leong, CEO of ARB IOT. “With our AI-driven solution, farmers can now achieve precision farming at an unprecedented scale, ensuring optimal nutrient distribution tailored to specific crop and soil conditions.”

Key benefits of the integrated Smart AI Robot include:

  • Precision Application: AI-driven data analytics ensure targeted fertilizer distribution, reducing overuse and underuse.
  • Automation and Efficiency: The autonomous agricultural robot reduces the need for manual labor, operating seamlessly across vast farmlands.
  • Sustainability: By minimizing fertilizer runoff and optimizing nutrient absorption, the system supports eco-friendly farming practices.
  • Cost Reduction: The conversion of solid fertilizers to liquid form leads to cost savings by reducing waste and improving absorption efficiency.
  • Real-time Monitoring: The AI system continuously collects and analyzes soil health and crop growth data, allowing for timely adjustments.

The convergence of IoT technology with our smart farming system enables real-time monitoring through strategically placed sensors across plantations. These sensors capture data on soil moisture, temperature, humidity and other key environmental factors, providing farmers with instant insights via a central digital hub. This empowers them to make data-driven decisions, respond proactively to environmental changes and optimize farm productivity.

With a focus on AI-driven advancements, we aim to drive progress in precision agriculture worldwide.
