Collins Aerospace announced recently that it is investing more than US$27 million to nearly double the size of its MRO operations in Xiamen, China and quadruple the size of its MRO footprint in Selangor, Malaysia. This additional capacity will help bring faster turnaround times and more efficient service to Collins’ customers in the region.
“The Asia Pacific region is a key market for Collins and these expansions represent our commitment to provide the best possible service to our regional customers,” said Daven Tey, regional director, IATA III Aftermarket Operations for Collins Aerospace. “Our customers are eager for in-region support for their growth platforms, and we’ll now be able to bring even more critical MRO services to their door. This growth will also pave the way for new product introductions and digital transformation to improve our future operations, while boosting on-time delivery.”
In Xiamen, Collins will invest more than US$11 million to relocate its MRO operations from their current 50,000 square-foot facility to a new 80,000 square-foot facility. The expanded site will provide MRO services for multiple Collins products, including fuel control systems, engine vane actuators, helicopter rescue hoists, evacuation slides and avionics, among others. The facility will support Chinese platforms like the ARJ21 and C919, as well as the B787, A350, A330neo, general aviation and rotary wing aircraft.
In Selangor, Collins will invest more than US$16 million to relocate its MRO operations from their current 40,000 square-foot facility to a new 160,000 square-foot facility at Subang Aerotech Park. The company’s Malaysian operations were previously dedicated to supporting MRO for Collins environmental control systems, but as part of the expansion the facility will add new MRO capabilities for Collins air cycle machines, heat exchangers, engine starters, valves, propellers and actuation systems. The site will support a variety of aircraft, including the B787, B777X, A320, A380, ATR 42 and ATR 72.
Both sites will also work closely with Collins Innovation Hub in Singapore to explore new ways to utilise advanced technologies to enhance repair flows and quality.

Taiwan has been known for its world-class machine tools with over 1000 precision manufacturers and tens of thousands of suppliers. For industrial resources integration, the Precision Machinery Center (PMC) has established a one-stop portal “Machine Tool Industry Online Resource Center, MTIORC (machinetool.twmt.tw)” to overcome the physical obstacles, focusing on machine tool industries to show Taiwan’s golden ability in precision machinery and smart manufacturing.
The annual virtual event introduced the company’s latest Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solution, H3C Application-Driven Network 6.0 (AD-NET 6.0) Solution, which includes AD-Campus 6.0 for campus scenario applications, AD-DC 6.0 for data center scenario applications and AD-WAN 6.0 Solution for Wide Area Network (WAN) scenario applications. Furthermore, the event aims to assist global partners in achieving higher levels of digital transformation in line with the evolving needs of the modern digital economy.
Themed “Digital Future · We Together”, the H3C Digital Tour 2021 aims to build an open and collaborative platform for industry leaders and experts to take part in cutting-edge technology discussions, while bringing H3C’s latest ICT solutions in a variety of areas. With the goal of enabling digital Malaysia with intelligent connectivity, H3C has officially launched the key solution, AD-DC 6.0 Solution at the virtual event. The all-new industry-leading solution addresses the networking challenges of Malaysian enterprises using data centers, while bringing a lower total cost of ownership, stronger security, higher performance and better experience compared to the previous version.
Speaking during the H3C Digital Tour 2021 in Malaysia, Gary Huang, H3C’s President of International Business and Senior Vice President, said, “Malaysia is the strategic market for H3C. The country is consistently prioritising digital initiatives in their economy. The efforts undertaken have become a new driver of development in Malaysia. Having cooperated with global customers and partners, H3C continues to have keen insights into vertical industries and improving the digitalization and intelligence of our solutions. By accelerating the construction of digital infrastructure, boosting the digital transformation of traditional enterprises and enabling the industrial intelligent application, we will be together to share the benefits of the digital economy and create a better digital future.”
The AD-DC 6.0 Solution gives simplicity, with end-to-end automation from computing resources, network to service, making it a “One Architecture for Multiple Scenarios” device. Besides that, it also brings intelligence, supporting Interspan telemetry while leveraging AI to complete the closed-loop of information processing. According to H3C, it has also improved in terms of convergence, making it a unified platform for management, control and analysis for enterprises. Micro-segmentation and service chain ensures the data center security with controller HA design makes the business much more stable and trustworthy while delivering higher performance.
The future of data centers will rely on the cloud, hyper-converged infrastructure and more powerful devices. It needs to have strong reliability, higher efficiency, safer security and constant evolution of data centers are typically a top priority. Many enterprises are pushing their capacity out in digitalising in order to provide a better service. H3C plays an important role in assisting these enterprises to complete their quest by providing a series of products and solutions to upgrade their infrastructure, making data center operations more efficient.
Additionally, H3C has also launched the AD-WAN 6.0 Solution, claiming it as the industry-leading SDN solution for WAN networking. The traditional WAN faces challenges including a surge in bandwidth demand, assurance for core businesses, a potential risk for network security and low efficiency for O&M. The new generation of AD-WAN 6.0 Solution is designed to solve the issues of the traditional version. It not only improves link utilization up to more than 80%, it also efficiently compresses the traffic and improves transmission bandwidth four times using the hybrid link.
With its Resilient Intelligent Routing (RIR), it can distribute traffic steering for faster response and higher reliability, at the same time reducing cost and complexity using a single product for networking and security. The Solution’s higher efficiency for O&M provides data centers real-time monitoring of devices’ performance and link status with their customized dashboard to display preference information. The AD-WAN 6.0 Solution can also detect system failures with its real-time alarm and provide users quick access to abnormal information, displaying application traffic and health score to optimize network resource allocation.
Rockies Ma, Country General Manager of H3C Malaysia commented on the flagship products and solutions launch, “Data centers are already evolving from a centralized, locally-operated infrastructure out to the cloud—using public and private cloud providers, colocation and more. As 5G enables hyperconnectivity, organizations will rely even more on edge devices in their data centers. Following the Malaysian government’s plans of Industrial Revolution 4.0, we strive to expand our partner ecosystem by deploying our latest technologies such as the AD-DC 6.0 in supporting our Malaysian enterprises to speed up their digital transformation.”
