Singapore, July 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- YY Group Holding Limited (NASDAQ: YYGH) (“YY Group,” “YYGH,” or the “Company”), a global leader in on-demand workforce solutions and integrated facility management (IFM), today announced the launch of a robotics integration initiative across its core service lines. The program is designed to enhance service delivery, strengthen workforce support, and help clients meet growing demands with greater consistency and efficiency
Robotics Integration Across Key Sectors
Phase one of the rollout focuses on high-impact areas where automation delivers immediate gains in service quality, speed, and reliability. In hospitality, robotic runners will support banquet teams by handling food delivery and event logistics, ensuring timely coordination during high-demand events. Autonomous cleaners will provide 24/7 sanitation in commercial spaces, guided by AI for optimal coverage. Smart security patrol bots will support routine surveillance and reporting, allowing on-site teams to focus on priority issues. For façade and high-access cleaning, robotic systems will enhance safety and precision in hard-to-reach areas which reduces risk while enabling staff to focus on higher-value tasks.
Robotics will be deployed flexibly across service lines, with models tailored to each client’s needs ranging from on-demand use to capital-based ownership. All deployments are supported by YY Group’s in-house technician teams and can integrate with client-side platforms as required.
Our robotics solutions are built to support, not replace human teams. From setup to daily operations, robots integrate smoothly into workflows, freeing staff to focus on higher-value tasks. Clients can scale at their own pace, with no disruption to existing operations.
“As service expectations evolve and manpower dynamics shift, robotics presents a timely opportunity to enhance consistency, safety, and scalability,” said Mike Fu, Group Chief Executive Officer of YY Group Holding Limited. “This initiative marks a natural evolution in our journey to deliver smarter, tech-enabled solutions to clients while staying ahead of future operational demands.”
YY Group is partnering with select clients in Singapore and Malaysia to pilot robotic deployments, with initial scaling focused on Southeast Asia and plans for global expansion underway. These pilots align with the Company’s long-term strategy to become a digitally enabled IFM and workforce solutions provider.
By embedding automation into its service model, YY Group aims to improve asset efficiency, elevate service outcomes, and strengthen client retention, and grow recurring revenue across its network.
