How This 'Vending Machine' Speeds Up & Shrinks Your Warehouse

Warehouse automation has long been seen as a multi-million dollar game reserved for giants. Backed by Pentamaster, Malaysian deep tech startup Pingspace is attempting to change that, making advanced robotics accessible to all businesses through a Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) model for its automated cube-based storage systems that function like "giant vending machines."

Founder and CEO Chuah Di Ken joins us to share his journey of building a hardware-heavy startup. He discusses their HaaS model, how their technology makes warehouses 4x more space-efficient, and their ambitious plan to grow from RM10 million to RM40 million in revenue next year.

We discuss:

• The "Matrix Storage System" and how it makes warehouses more efficient.

• The Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) model that makes automation affordable.

• The strategic and familial (father-son) relationship with Pentamaster, which is both an investor but also Pingspace’s manufacturer.

• The founder's journey from food science to deep tech robotics.

• Their growth plan for scaling in Malaysia and expanding overseas.

  For business owners in logistics and manufacturing, and anyone interested in the future of automation, this is a look at a Malaysian company building the warehouse of the future.
