About DF Automation & Robotics

DF Automation & Robotics is a Malaysian designer and manufacturer of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for factory and warehouse intralogistics, headquartered in Skudai, Johor. Founded in 2012 as DF Automation & Robotics Sdn. Bhd., the company develops its robots and its navigation stack in-house: the NavWiz navigation software and the DFleet fleet-management system let its vehicles and third-party systems be deployed and coordinated across a site. Its AMR families are organised by payload and handling method — the configurable mid-payload Zalpha series (towing, lifting and hooking), the pallet-handling Zetha series, the heavy-duty Titan series, the Zamma series, and Zoei, which pairs an AMR base with a collaborative robot arm for manufacturing workflows.

The company reports more than 500 robots deployed (company-stated) and a customer base spanning ten countries, including Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, India, Mexico and markets in Europe, serving warehousing, semiconductor and automotive manufacturing customers. Beyond its Johor headquarters it maintains Malaysian offices in Selangor and Penang and overseas locations in Wixom, Michigan (United States) and Pune (India). In May 2025, Japan’s Leave a Nest announced an investment in the company, aimed at supporting its expansion into Japan and linking Southeast Asian and Japanese manufacturing ecosystems.
