Upholding Good Governance and Economic Resilience Press Metal Aluminium Holdings Berhad SECTION 5 • DELIVERING SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR OUR STAKEHOLDERS 126 Project Objective Integrating measurement tools into a cloud-based system for real-time data access, reducing manual recording time and paper usage. Digitisation of Pot Operational Parameter Data Manual Measurement Process Automating pot performance analysis to improve accuracy, standardise reporting and enable faster identification of operational issues. Pot Condition Categorisation Analysis System Implementing real-time notifications to ensure timely intervention in electrolysis operations. Mobile Phone Alerts for Molten Impurities Enhancing monitoring efficiency by providing nearly real-time temperature measurements, improving safety and enabling early warnings for unstable pots. Digitisation of Temperature Monitoring for Unstable Pots Streamlining application processing for greater efficiency, improved tracking and reduced manual errors through digitalisation. Digitalisation of Application on Inventory Adjustment Operating Procedure In FYE2024, initiatives that advanced our digitalisation and automation activities are as follows: Through embedding intelligent transformation, PMI has earned recognition as a Guangdong Provincial Engineering Technology R&D Centre. PMI had been honoured as a high-end aluminium intelligent fine processing engineering technology research centre, which highlighted its role in advancing research and development within the industry. As a pilot enterprise in China's Foshan aluminium extrusion industry, PMI also launched a carbon labelling certification project. The Recycled Aluminium Extrusion Profile GCXXX, produced with more than 80% recycled aluminium, underwent rigorous third-party verification of its carbon footprint, which achieved it the distinction of being PMI’s first product to secure both the Guangdong Carbon Label and the Hong Kong Product Carbon Footprint Label. Furthermore, PMI reached another milestone by obtaining approval to establish a Foshan Enterprise Postdoctoral Workstation Branch, embedding its position in research, talent development, and innovation-driven growth. Innovating Towards GHG Reductions Press Metal is advancing its R&D efforts and operational enhancements, with a clear strategic focus on meeting interim GHG reduction targets while optimising resource efficiency. These initiatives are anchored in three (3) pivotal themes: Industrial Revolution 4.0 (“IR 4.0”), decarbonisation, and energy reduction, reflecting a holistic approach to sustainable innovation. Further details of our energy reduction strategies can be found in the Climate Change and Energy Management sections of SR 2024. GOING FORWARD Innovation remains central in our drive towards continuous improvement and sustainability across our operations. Building on the momentum of pioneering initiatives, such as the deployment of the AI Safety Production Management System on billet lines and the development of the MES, we are dedicated in our pursuit of operational excellence. The AI Safety Production Management System played a crucial role in enhancing real-time monitoring of production and bolstering safety compliance across billet lines. Paired with the MES, which facilitates rapid, data-driven decision-making through comprehensive insights, this technology optimises performance and safeguards workplace conditions. Integrated together, they form a robust framework that not only streamline workflows but also reinforce our commitment to precision and employee well-being. These technological strides deliver measurable benefits, including streamlined operations, heightened safety measures, and sustained efficiency gains across our production facilities. With plans to extend the systems, Press Metal continues to prioritise manufacturing management and safety protocols. This approach underscores our dedication to operational excellence that continue to propel us towards a safer, more efficient, and sustainable future across our manufacturing operations.
