Dufu to Expand Smart Manufacturing with 100 Additional CNC Machines by Q3 2026

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 1 – Dufu Technology Corp Bhd plans to increase its Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) initiative to 150 CNC machines by the third quarter of 2026, up from 50 units currently, founder and executive chairman Lee Hui Ta announced. The expansion follows a visit by partners from Advantech to Dufu’s CNC plant on April 3, 2026, as part of efforts to advance smart manufacturing practices.

The engagement included two sessions with about 40 participants each, featuring presentations on Dufu’s OEE journey and a guided plant tour. Since launching the program last year, Dufu has implemented OEE on 50 machines and aims to add 100 more by Q3 2026. The initiative aligns with Dufu’s corporate social responsibility commitment to support industry progress through shared learning.

Dufu’s smart-manufacturing push comes amid broader efforts to enhance operational efficiency in Malaysia’s industrial sector. The expansion of OEE-supported CNC machines may influence investor sentiment toward automation-driven manufacturers in the local market.

Details not yet available on the financial impact or specific cost of the additional 100 CNC machines. Dufu’s collaboration with Advantech underscores growing industry partnerships in Malaysia’s smart manufacturing ecosystem.

Outlook for Dufu’s OEE expansion depends on execution efficiency and adoption of digital tools. The company’s progress may serve as a benchmark for peers in Malaysia’s manufacturing sector. Further updates are expected as Dufu progresses toward its Q3 2026 target.
