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.
