Next-Generation Digital IBS

Next-Gen Digital IBS

Penang South Islands ​

Aligned with Penang’s 2030 vision for the creation of a liveable, green and well-planned city, the master plan is grounded by 3 anchors as its main key differentiators:

  • ESG frameworks with resilient design and planning model to address climate change and focus on green mobility by ‘putting bicycles ahead of cars’
  • Public Open Spaces in the form of Central Canal waterways, the Esplanade, Bay at Heart of the Island, Public Beach, Mangrove Wetlands constitute the largest green biodiverse and connected network in Penang. With a total area of 450 acres, each public open space will feature its own unique character and offer a wide array of activities to both local and international tourists.
  • Smart City Services with the latest technology, with the Green Technology Park as the catalyst with its strategic location to next to Bayan Lepas FIZ and Penang International Airport.

Gamuda’s Next-Gen Digital IBS (Industrialised Building System) is an innovative solution and ecosystem that helps build quality housing right from the start.

Leveraging on today's digital design tools and robotic construction, the Next-Gen Digital IBS means flexibility in design, fast construction and superior quality finish.

The Next-Gen Digital IBS, anchored on Gamuda’s factory in Banting, Selangor, is all about sustainability. The 66-acre factory is 100% renewable energy (RE)-powered and in-built with IoT to enable AI, with a production capacity of 10,000 houses per annum. Solar panels covering 5% of the factory's rooftops are sufficient to power the factory and its robots.

Advantages of Gamuda’s Next-Gen Digital IBS

Eliminates redundancies, defects, overlaps and resource wastage

Shortens planning and construction time

Speeds up delivery

Reduces future home renovations

Enhanced and consistent quality

High precision and accuracy

55% reduced reliance on foreign labour

40% reduction in embodied carbon

Better governance being IoT-enabled

Trackable, quantifiable data

Results that can be validated, analysed and assessed

Innovative Solutions

Clash analysis in a cloud-based 3D building information model (BIM) allows for precise pre-planning
Robots will autonomously plan the schedule to produce required products using data and learnings from sensors in the factory's IoT network and previous iterations
Like Lego blocks, home parts will be delivered in pods or boxes to the construction site and assembled
BIM augmented reality mobile application called BIMAR allows more accurate inspection
AI IoT robotic manufacturing system improved the materials used in making concrete panels
Factory can be monitored remotely
All products have QR codes to track them along the supply chain, from beginning to end

The vision for Gamuda Next-Gen Digital IBS is to transform the current construction industry through the adoption of a fully digital ecosystem.

The innovation brought about by the top-to-toe, end-to-end digital solution and ecosystem is evident. Gamuda believes there's much more to be explored.
