IMS Motionet Sdn Bhd — Automation and Schneider Electric Components in Simpang Ampat, Penang

IMS Motionet sits in an unusual spot in Penang’s industrial supply scene: it both distributes branded components and builds automation systems of its own. The two halves answer different questions, so they’re worth reading separately.

The company is an authorised Schneider Electric distributor in Malaysia, and it publishes that appointment itself. That matters for a buyer because Schneider is the source of most of the factory control and panel gear — Acti9 and Easy9 miniature circuit breakers and RCCBs, EasyPact breakers and contactors, TeSys contactors and LRD overload relays, Multi9 MCBs, plug-in relays, pilot lights and push buttons. Alongside those sit the drives and controls that usually appear on the same panel: servo motors and drives, inverters, PLCs, HMI touch screens and power supplies.

The catalogue names parts specifically. Schneider’s Easy9 2-pole 32A MCB is listed as EZ9F56232. On the drive side, the models in IMS’s catalogue include three-phase ATV310 units from 0.37 kW to 5.5 kW and single-phase ATV12 units from 0.37 kW; Schneider builds the ATV310 family itself out to 22 kW, so those listings aren’t the whole range. Pilot lights come in the XA2E LED range in several colours at 24V or 220V. Those are listings rather than a stock guarantee — for a particular model, it helps to send the part number and quantity rather than assume it’s on a shelf.

Other brands fill gaps Schneider doesn’t. Delta Electronics covers servo systems, SCARA and articulated robots, machine vision, planetary gearboxes and electric servo presses; Kollmorgen handles motors and drives; Sanyo Denki contributes servo and power systems; Apex Dynamics supplies gearboxes and rack-and-pinion; Unipulse covers load cells, weighing and torque measurement; GMT covers positioning stages and XY tables. KUKA and Lanxin Robotics cover AMR and forklift-mobile robots, and Robust Motion’s MagiFloater is a magnetic-levitation workpiece platform.

The systems side

The second business is a solutions division aimed at manufacturers rather than someone buying a single breaker. IMS Motionet builds smart screwing stations with traceable tightening results, cable-free intelligent maglev transfer systems where movers travel independently along a track, robotics and AMR integration, machine vision, and industrial software (Delta’s DIAStudio, DIAView and DIAEnergie, plus VTScada). The company exhibits these at Malaysian trade shows — for AUTOMEX Penang 2026 it advertised live demos of a SCARA robot, the iTS maglev transfer system and MagiFloater — and names EMS, E&E, semiconductor, automotive and medical-device producers as its target industries.

If your question is a single control component, the distribution division is the one you want. If it’s a line that needs screwdriving, transfer or vision work, that’s the solutions division.

Visiting and contacting

The office and warehouse are at 59, Jalan Hijauan Hills 2, Hijauan Hills, 14200 Simpang Ampat, Pulau Pinang, inland from Batu Kawan on the mainland side of the state.

One address wrinkle: Schneider’s own distributor locator lists this account at 26, Jalan Iks Simpang Ampat, Taman Iks, 14100, with a different phone number. The company’s website and its Google Maps listing both point to the Hijauan Hills address, so that’s the one to head for.
