Ensuring that Shelter Lives Up to its Name with Malaysian Technology: MYCRS

In today's world, homes play a vital role in the lives of individuals. Purchasing a home often represents a significant investment of a lifetime's savings and embodies the dreams of many families. However, ensuring the quality of homes during construction, minimizing safety risks, and protecting consumer rights are crucial considerations. A robust quality control system is essential in achieving these objectives.

MYCRS, a Malaysian technology startup, leverages IoT and RFID-supported tools to address a critical issue in the global construction industry—ensuring concrete quality. In previous construction projects, concrete, as a fundamental building material, has often been overlooked during the testing process, hidden behind interior decorations. This lack of transparency has allowed unscrupulous individuals to deceive the public and homebuyers, falsely assuring them of the safety of their homes.

MYCRS addresses this challenge by tracking each cement sample's journey from liquid to solid state and monitoring the entire engineering testing process using RFID tracking chips. Through scanning, testing, and monitoring, MYCRS compiles captured readings into engineering data compliant with British Standards, providing users with accurate, tamper-proof, and error-free outputs. This not only enhances testing efficiency but also provides vital evidence for post-engineering liability tracing.

Initially developed for the Hong Kong railway and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge projects, MYCRS has expanded its reach to cover all major construction projects in Hong Kong and has been adopted by the Singapore government for Housing Development Board (HDB) construction. It is the world's first and only technology solution provider validated by the official engineering departments of two regions for its practicality, quality, and stability.

Over the past five years, MYCRS has remained committed to safeguarding the lives and assets of millions of consumers oversea,. Now, it aims to promote and innovate its technology back in Malaysia & Southeast Asia, supporting regulatory agencies in enhancing concrete testing supervision and ensuring the stability of every home for homebuyers. MYCRS is poised to contribute to the realization of the Industry 4.0 vision for the concrete and construction industries.
