New Swisslog APeC structure delivers greater resources to Southeast Asian customers

Experienced leader, Steven Xie, to serve as Executive Vice President & Managing Director, based in Malaysia

PETALING JAYA, Malaysia, March 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Swisslog, a global leader in automated intralogistics solutions, is strengthening the resources available to its Southeast Asian (SEA) customers through a new structure for the Asia Pacific excluding China (APeC) region.

This regional strengthening comes as Swisslog celebrates more than 30 years of operations in Southeast Asia, marking three decades of supporting the region’s logistics transformation with advanced automation solutions and local expertise.

Closer integration with Australia, New Zealand, and other Asia Pacific neighbours enables alignment across markets while strengthening Swisslog’s existing SEA service and management teams, and providing closer knowledge sharing between regions. It also provides SEA customers with direct access to expertise from across Swisslog’s broader Asia Pacific operations, including the Australia and New Zealand operations.

Swisslog’s Malaysia office already hosts one of the three global Research and Development teams, which includes strong in-house software SynQ, development, realisation and customer service expertise. This expertise will be shared with the Asia Pacific region, and SEA teams will learn from the wide range of projects being implemented in different regions.

Steven Xie to lead Swisslog APeC

The broader APeC region will be overseen by experienced leader Steven Xie, who will serve as Executive Vice President & Managing Director, based in Malaysia. Steven, who first joined Swisslog in 2017, has a hands-on approach that includes a close involvement with all countries and their teams.

“Across Southeast Asia, we are seeing increasing demand for scalable, resilient automation solutions as businesses respond to e-commerce growth, labour constraints, and rising service expectations,” says Xie.

“Bringing our markets closer together allows us to share engineering expertise, project experience, and innovation across borders. That collaboration strengthens our ability to deliver complex automation programs while maintaining the local presence our customers rely on.”

Across the APeC region, Swisslog works with major brands – including household names –  Yusen Logistics Singapore, True Thailand, Sanritsu Japan, Coca-Cola Amatil (CCA) Australia, Jaycar Electronics, Blum Australia, LinFox Australia, BevChain Australia – among many others.

Futureproofing warehouse automation with whole-of-life approach

Across the region, Swisslog is rolling out its “Ready for the Next” strategy, which highlights its role as a true lifetime automation partner, not just a solution provider.

“We take an outcomes-based approach to warehouse automation. For our customers, ‘next’ isn’t about chasing new technology for its own sake – it’s about future confidence,” says Xie.

“That means delivering throughput that holds up in live production, not just during commissioning. It means designing resilience into every system so it can adjust to seasonal peaks, SKU growth, or new fulfilment models. And it means creating scalable pathways that allow capacity to expand without disruptive re-platforming.”

“Being ‘Ready for the Next’ means staying accountable for the outcome long after go-live, meaning our customers’ decisions remain right as demand, channels, and product mix evolve.”

Local insights with regional resources

Under the new APeC structure, Swisslog customers across the region will gain tangible operational advantages, including:

  • Enhanced access to specialist engineering and technical expertise
  • Greater collaboration across regional project teams
  • Improved scalability for large and multi-site automation projects
  • Shared innovation and best practice across Asia Pacific markets
  • Stronger coordination across supply chains and service networks

“Successful automation depends on local insight,” says Xie. “From compliance and safety standards to labour dynamics and infrastructure considerations, every market has its nuances. Our local SEA teams remain at the forefront of customer engagement.”

“At the same time, regional alignment gives us the depth and flexibility to respond quickly to changing requirements and to support long-term growth strategies.”

“Our commitment to Southeast Asia is clear. We are locally engaged, regionally integrated, and focused on helping our customers build automation strategies that are resilient, scalable, and truly ready for what comes next.”

About Swisslog

Swisslog designs, manufactures and optimizes automated logistics solutions across the supply chain, powered by our modular SynQ software platform.

As we embrace the next wave of AI, we will continue to focus on ‘AI Agent + World Model’ as our core technology path, strengthen computing power and foundational capabilities, drive deeper value realization of AI, and work with ecosystem partners to build a sustainable intelligent future.”

  • Agentic AI business, centered on a “Result-as-a-Service” model, achieved revenue of RMB503 million, up 93.2% year-on-year, demonstrating strong momentum and sustainable scalability.

Business Highlights:

In 2025, Phancy’s three core business segments — AI Platform, API, and Agentic AI — established a multi-engine growth model, creating a cycle of synergy and mutual reinforcement.

AI Platform: Sustained Growth Driver

Driven by strong domestic demand for localization and the national “AI+” initiative, the AI Platform remained the Company’s core growth engine. With its full-stack product portfolio and leading market position, the segment delivered deep integration between computing power and platform services, lowering barriers to AI adoption. Supported by a comprehensive technology framework and a strong customer base, the AI Platform effectively boosted performance and contributed to the Company’s profitability breakthrough.

The Company continued to drive technological iteration, with a strategic focus on three core offerings: PhanthyCloud, HAMi vGPU, and ModelHub XC.

  1. PhanthyCloud – the backbone of the full-stack AI PaaS cloud service, integrating diverse AI capabilities to provide efficient, cloud-based services. Seamlessly connected to ModelHub XC and HAMi vGPU, PhanthyCloud delivers model adaptation and computing power scheduling, while maintaining broad compatibility with mainstream domestic chips to support digital transformation.
  2. HAMi vGPU – a core GPU resource management product that allows GPUs to be flexibly shared and scheduled. Customers can tailor GPU configurations to their business needs, significantly improving utilization rates.
  3. ModelHub XC – China’s largest ITAI (information technology application innovation) model community, designed to promote deep adaptation between domestic chips and AI models. The number of adapted and certified models has now surpassed 30,000. The Company had initially planned to scale the number of adapted models to the hundred-thousand level within a year, a milestone it has already achieved ahead of schedule.

API Business: Fastest Growth Engine

With the rapid adoption of AI Agents, token consumption has grown exponentially. Phancy’s API business, built on a flexible pay-as-you-go model and a comprehensive ecosystem, achieved leapfrog growth, and became the Company’s fastest growing segment. Token revenue for the first quarter of 2026 alone has already surpassed the full-year total for 2025.

The API business is anchored by the Phanthy platform, complemented by PhanRouter and PhanClaw, creating a comprehensive token ecosystem in synergy with the Sage Platform:

  1. Phanthy – the core platform of the token-based ecosystem. It integrates cloud services with more than 30,000 adapted models and industry-specific vertical models, delivering accessible API capabilities that reach over 100 million of terminal products and support the large-scale deployment of AI capabilities.
  2. PhanRouter – a unified API gateway for large models. It enables developers and enterprises to seamlessly connect with dozens of mainstream model providers, it is compatible with the OpenAI standard and major domestic chips, and supports both private deployment and token-based payment, reducing customer costs and easing operational complexity.
  3. PhanClaw – an agent platform deeply integrated within PhanthyCloud and serves as an extension of the OpenClaw ecosystem. It is designed to provide users with secure, controllable, and cost-efficient digital assistant services. Working in synergy with Phanthy and PhanRouter, PhanClaw manages the token lifecycle, including risk control, permission management, and log auditing, meeting the stringent security and compliance requirements of industries, such as finance and government affairs.

Agentic AI: Long-Term Sustainable Growth

Agentic AI serves as the Company’s revenue cornerstone and a “value multiplier” for empowering a wide range of industries. Operating under a Result-as-a-service model and aligned with national “AI+” energy development policies, this segment expanded rapidly across high-value industries, achieving economies of scale and strong growth momentum. Working in synergy with the AI Platform and API businesses, Agentic AI provides long-term support for revenue and contributes to the high-quality development of the Company’s operations.

In terms of business expansion, the Company is focusing on core scenarios in spot electricity trading and medium- to long-term electricity trading. It has developed a full-chain AI solution encompassing forecasting, decision-making, risk control, and post-trading review. This solution has already been deployed in multiple pilot provinces and recognized by key customers, effectively improving efficiency and profitability in wind power, photovoltaics, and energy storage. This model is now being rapidly extended to other industries, including manufacturing and finance.

Future Outlook:

Looking ahead to 2026, Phancy will continue to advance its four strategic priorities: deepening its AI 2.0 roadmap, accelerating the deployment of industrial-grade AI Agents, driving international expansion, and further extending into the consumer market.

In terms of the AI 2.0 roadmap, the Company will continue to pursue its core philosophy of “AI for Everyone”, focusing on foundational technology R&D and real-world deployment. By refining its end-to-end technology system, Phancy aims to lower barriers to AI adoption and enable more enterprises and users to benefit from AI. For industrial-grade AI Agents, the Company will accelerate deployment under a Result-as-a-service model, deepening its presence in key sectors such as energy and finance, and developing replicable, scalable industry solutions, to expand business scale and profitability. On international expansion, Phancy will strengthen partnerships with overseas brands and channels, building a robust global operations framework to support worldwide growth. In the consumer market, the Company will focus on core consumer needs by launching high-experience smart terminal products, further expanding its customer base and establishing a dual-driven growth model powered by both technology and market reach.

Laos Releases Captive-Raised Crocodiles to Rebuild Critically Endangered Population

Laos has released 56 Siamese crocodiles into the Xe Champhone wetlands in Savannakhet Province, part of an ongoing effort to rebuild one of the world’s most endangered reptile populations.

During the nesting season, conservation teams locate crocodile nests and collect eggs early to protect them from danger. Then, the eggs are moved to village incubation sites, where hatching success is much higher.

After hatching, the young crocodiles are raised in protected enclosures and fed until they grow large enough to survive on their own. This can take months to years. Before being fully released, the crocodiles are placed in temporary pens in the wetlands to help them adjust to their natural environment.

This method, known as “head-starting,” helps improve survival rates. In the wild, most crocodile eggs and newborns face high risks from predators, flooding, and human activity, meaning few survive to adulthood without intervention.

This method has been used in Laos since 2013 through cooperation between the government, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and local communities.

Why Now

The latest release comes as conservation groups work to reverse decades of decline.

The Siamese crocodile was once widespread across Southeast Asia but was pushed to the brink of extinction by hunting, habitat loss, and capture for commercial farms. Today, fewer than 1,000 remain in the wild globally.

By raising crocodiles in controlled conditions before release, conservation teams aim to rebuild a stable wild population.

Current Progression 

Since the program began, nearly 300 crocodiles have been released into the Xe Champhone wetlands, with around 190 more currently being raised.

The wetlands, one of Laos’ two Ramsar sites, are considered one of the most important remaining habitats for the species in mainland Southeast Asia.

Local communities play a key role in protecting the crocodiles. In many areas, they are linked to traditional beliefs and are not hunted.

Threats Remain

Despite progress, the species still faces threats from habitat loss, wetland drainage for agriculture, and accidental capture in fishing gear.

Officials say continued cooperation between communities, conservation groups, and the government will be key to protecting the species in the long term.
