GEORGE TOWN, Malaysia, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Food Bayana, a new food hub in Bayan Lepas, has partnered with Pudu Robotics and Pentamaster Corporation Berhad to revolutionize its operations. This collaboration marks a significant step in Food Bayana’s digital transformation, seamlessly integrating advanced automation with diverse, mouthwatering cuisine to deliver an unmatched dining experience.

As Malaysia’s first fully automated food hub, Food Bayana has redefined the dining landscape. It has gathered 31 Penang’s finest hawkers in to a two-story facility that spans over 2,000 square meters. The two-story facility features Pudu Robotics’ FlashBots, ensuring quick, efficient, and precise meal delivery.

Pentamaster Corporation Berhad was key in deploying Pudu Robotics’ FlashBots at Food Bayana. With its expertise in automation, Pentamaster collaborated with Pudu Robotics to design and implement a system customized to the premier food plaza’s needs.

This collaboration has reduced labor costs, minimized human contact, and ensured hot, fresh meal delivery, meeting the demands of Penang’s fast-paced industrial district.

“We used our innovative spirit and like our tagline “Think Automation, Think Pentamaster” to partake into the Food Bayana project to resolve challenges on how to deliver the food efficiently to the patrons of Food Bayana given it is a 2-storey building, hence we accepted the challenge and transform Food Bayana in to what it is today,” stated Chuah Choon Bin, Chairman of Pentamaster Corporation Bhd.

Food Bayana utilizes 30 FlashBot delivery robots with real-time order tracking, efficient navigation, and 3D obstacle avoidance. The food hub organizes its two floors into delivery zones, where FlashBots swiftly transport meals to designated spots. This approach speeds up service, reduces human contact, and keeps meals hot and fresh.

Customers place their orders at food stalls on the first floor and receive smartphone notifications as their orders progress. The FlashBots carry the meals from the first floor to pick-up zones on the second floor, where customers collect their orders from warming cabinets with minimal human involvement.

The collaboration between Food Bayana and Pudu Robotics extends beyond mere automation. The partnership underscores a shared commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and technological innovation. By adopting Pudu Robotics’ cutting-edge solutions, Food Bayana not only enhances its operational resilience but also positions itself as a pioneer in the future of dining.

“We’re proud to partner with Food Bayana and Pentamaster Corporation to bring dining automation to new heights. The implementation of our FlashBot system at Malaysia’s first fully automated food hub reflects the power of innovation. This project shows how robotics can boost efficiency, reduce costs, and elevate the customer experience. Together, we’re shaping the future of sustainable food service” remarked Felix Zhang, founder and CEO of Pudu Robotics.

This fully automated process has significantly improved operational efficiency, reduced human error, and enhanced customer satisfaction. By automating repetitive tasks, Food Bayana has also reduced labor costs, allowing staff to focus on more value-added services. The FlashBots’ UV sterilization cabinets further ensure a hygienic dining experience, which is crucial in a post-pandemic world.

The collaboration between Food Bayana, Pudu Robotics, and Pentamaster underscores a mutual commitment to innovation and sustainability. The automation process boosts efficiency and positions Food Bayana as a pioneering force in Malaysia’s food service industry. The success of this initiative lays the groundwork for future advancements, such as the potential introduction of robotic arms to enhance operations further.

“Food Bayana exemplifies the seamless blend of modern innovation and sustainable living. It is more than just a food hub, it is a vision where advanced technology and eco-friendly practices come together to create a new experience for F&B,” said Chuah Xin Er, Director of Food Bayana.

As Food Bayana continues its partnership with Pudu Robotics and Pentamaster Corporation Berhad, all three entities are excited about the potential for further advancements. The success of this initiative lays the groundwork for future innovations, such as the introduction of robotic arms and other automated solutions to enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction further.

Osome Eyes the Next Wave of AI Companies Choosing Singapore

Published

on

By

SINGAPORE, HONG KONG and LONDON, July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Osome, the AI company management platform trusted by more than 50,000 tech founders and solopreneurs globally, is strengthening its support for the next wave of AI companies choosing Singapore as their regional base.

Singapore’s appeal continues to grow as leading AI companies establish a stronger presence. OpenAI has committed S$300 million (US$234 million) to the country’s AI ecosystem, while Cognition has established its APAC headquarters there. Anthropic and Tencent are also increasing their presence in Singapore.

Budget 2026 reinforces this momentum with a National AI Impact Programme, a new Kampong AI hub at one-north, and a 400% tax deduction on qualifying AI investments. Foreign companies can access these incentives by incorporating a Private Limited Company, which allows 100% foreign ownership and startup tax rates as low as 10% under the Startup Tax Exemption.

As more AI-native startups choose Singapore to build lean, global businesses, Osome helps founders navigate the process. Operating across Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK, and the UAE, it enables founders to incorporate a company as fast as 7 days while managing back-office operations, including accounting, bookkeeping, and compliance.

Building on that support, Osome recently launched its Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, turning founders’ preferred AI assistants into a business command center. Through Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, founders can securely retrieve transactions, shareholder records, financial reports, and other company data from a single AI interface.

AI-native & tech founders are already building with Osome. UpNComer‘s founder, Karan Dasgupta, incorporated his Singapore company within days of switching to Osome, saving “easily 20 hours” every month. Dubai-based Aesty and Hong Kong’s Angelflow have reported similar gains, cutting bookkeeping from around a week of work to just two hours a month.

Eugenio Ferrante, CEO of Osome, said: “A few years ago, building a global company required a 500-person team and a massive regional office. Today, a three-person AI startup can operate globally from Singapore with a laptop. The biggest threat isn’t competition, but administrative drag. With our new MCP server, you can manage your company’s finance and compliance via your AI assistant, leaving you free to focus on building and serving customers.”

About Osome

Osome is an AI company-management platform combining human expertise with automation for incorporation, accounting and tax compliance. Since 2017, it has served 50,000+ startups in Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK and the UAE. Learn more at osome.com.

LOS ANGELES, July 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Insta360 announced “Vibrez en Jaune” Pop-Up, a three-day cycling and creator event held in Paris from July 24 to July 26, 2026. Designed to coincide with the electric atmosphere of the Tour de France finale, the event culminated in a 200-rider takeover of the Parisian streets, bringing the spirit of professional cycling to everyday enthusiasts and urban explorers.

Built around the theme ‘Think Bold, Ride Bold,’ “Vibrez en Jaune” Pop-Up featured immersive pop-up experiences, hands-on creator workshops, and a sprawling group ride traversing the iconic 90km classic route from Versailles to the Champs-Élysées. The festival served as a celebration of cycling not just as a competitive sport, but as a vehicle for exploration, storytelling, and community connection.

A Festival of Content and Culture

The event kicked off on July 24 with a two-day hub of activity in the heart of Paris. Moving away from traditional retail experiences, Insta360 hosted a series of “Cycle & Create” workshops designed to lower the barrier to content creation.

Attendees gained access to on-site trial devices, allowing them to test out Insta360’s unique product ecosystem firsthand. Insta360 product experts were on hand to teach advanced cycling photography and videography techniques, ensuring riders knew exactly how to capture dynamic, hands-free POV footage of their urban commutes and weekend group rides.

The pop-up also served as a central gathering space for the community. Registered riders connected over coffee, collected their limited-edition Insta360 yellow cycling jerseys, and prepared for the weekend’s main event.

The Hero Moment: Taking Over the Streets of Paris

On Sunday, July 26, over 200 riders embarked on the “Vibrez en Jaune” Pop-Up main event. Organized in partnership with the Peloton Cycling Club, the group rode a 90km route inspired by the Tour de France Paris finale.

Beginning in Versailles, the group rode through the Paris city center before arriving at the Champs-Élysées. To ensure safety and an optimal experience, riders were organized into small, supervised packs of 20 to 25 across four distinct difficulty tiers—Spicy, Medium-Plus, Medium, and Mild—making the professional route accessible to a wide range of skill levels.

Select riders were equipped with Insta360 cameras to record immersive, first-person footage of the group as they navigated the historic streets, creating a collaborative, community-driven documentary of the ride.

Celebrating the Finish Line

The ride concluded at the Insta360 pop-up space for a vibrant after-party. As the actual Tour de France final stage was broadcast live on a giant screen, participants were treated to a professional DJ, refreshments, and finger food.

To reward the community, Insta360 hosted a drawing featuring premium cycling accessory bundles and high-value grand prizes, including the Insta360 GO Ultra Tadej Pogačar Edition and an exclusive jersey signed by the cycling champion himself.

Redefining Urban Exploration

Beyond the celebration of the sport, “Vibrez en Jaune” Pop-Up highlights the brand’s ongoing commitment to sustainable urban lifestyles. By encouraging people to rediscover their cities by bike, Insta360 aims to promote cycling as an accessible, low-carbon choice that allows individuals to experience urban life in a more mindful, connected way.
