On 10th June 2025, the Faculty of Manufacturing and Mechatronic Engineering Technology (FTKPM), UMPSA, successfully organized a hands-on training session on the Keyence Digital Microscope, held at the Advanced Machining Lab.

The training aimed to provide participants with practical exposure to the use of high-resolution digital microscopy in engineering applications, quality inspection, and research. The session was attended by a maximum of 20 participants, in line with the limited slot availability to ensure effective engagement.

The program began at 11:00 a.m., followed by a lunch break from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., and resumed until 4:00 p.m. Participants were given the opportunity to operate the equipment directly and gain insights into advanced imaging capabilities offered by the Keyence system.

FTKPM extends its appreciation to all attendees for their active participation and to the organizing team for making the session a success. The faculty remains committed to exposing students and staff to cutting-edge technologies through continuous learning and training initiatives.

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Mohd Azraai Mohd Razman from the Faculty of Manufacturing and Mechatronics Engineering Technology (FTKPM) for winning the Gold Medal at ITEX 2025 for his project titled “Smart Enabled System Automation and IoT”. This innovative project focuses on developing an IoT-based automation system that is user-friendly and adaptable to various smart industry applications.

This achievement highlights Dr. Azraai's dedication and excellence in research and technology. His work continues to inspire others in the field of industrial automation and smart technology. Congratulations once again on this remarkable accomplishment!
