Reaffirming Regional Leadership in BioCV and Spatial Intelligence – ZKTeco Malaysia Secures Three Prestigious Trophies at PIKOM Digital Excellence Awards 2026

ZKTECO (M) SDN. BHD., a subsidiary of ZKTeco—a global leader in trusted identity and spatial intelligence technologies—received three corporate awards at the prestigious PIKOM Digital Excellence Awards (PDEA) 2026 gala on 10th  September 2026. Held in conjunction with the 40th anniversary of the National Tech Association of Malaysia (PIKOM), the landmark event gathered over 1,100 industry leaders and distinguished guests to honour 102 exemplary corporate and individual achievers.

Recognition across Three Core Enterprise Categories

Having the honour across three major categories, the award reflects ZKTeco' comprehensive capabilities spanning global market presence, core Al algorithms, and enterprise software platforms:

1. Global Champion - Global Security Leader

Recognizing ZKTeco's sustained leadership in theglobal security industry, powered by its proprietary multi-modal biometric hybrid engine, continuous product innovation, and an extensive global service footprint spanning over 180 countries and regions.

2. Artificial Intelligence - Biometric Recognition

Acknowledging ZKTeco's breakthrough deep-leaming algorithms for mult-modal fusion-integrating facial, fingerprint, and palm vein recognition. Enhaanced with Al-driven liveness detection and edge-deployed intelligence, the solution delivers high-precision, privacy-compliant authentication for complex operational environments.

3. Software Innovation - Unified Security Management Platform

Honouring ZKBio CVSecurity, ZKTeco's flagship web-based software platform. The system seamlessly consolidates access control, video surveillance, elevator control, visitor management, and smart parking into a single, scalable architecture, establishing anew benchmark for unified spatial management.

From Global Innovation to Local Delivery

The awards coincide with Malaysia's accelerated digjital transformation under the MyDIGITAL framework, which has driven surges in demand for smart parks,dligital cities, and next-generation public infrastructure. ZKTeco addresses these evolving requirements through a "Global Capability, Local Delivery" strategy- combining centralized R&D with localized engineering, regulatory compliance, and partner ecosystems. 

This strategy is already yielding tangible results in kkey infrastructure projects across Malaysia. Notably, at a major industrial rubber complex in Kosas, ZKTeco successfully deployed its unified spatial management platform.

By integrating intelligent access control, elevator maanagement, and smart parking onto a shared digital foundation, the deployment demonstrated how eedge-cloud orchestration can transition traditional industrial operations from passive security to proactive, automated management.

ZKTeco's commitment to regional ecosystem building was further underscored by its 2026 Partner Conference in Puchong-which brought together over 200 ecosystem partners-and its key participation at the 2026 World.

A Milestone for the Malaysia Team

"Receiving these three accolades from PIKOM is both a proud milestone for our entire team, and a powerful recognition to our technology roadmap from Malaysia’s tech community." Commenting on the achievement, Raymond So, Head of Marketing at ZKTeco, emphasized the broader industry shift and the company’s strategic trajectory.” The global security and facility management landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift—moving away from isolated physical access control, toward a holistic convergence of BioCV (Biometrics and Computer Vision), IoT, and Spatial Intelligence. Today, identity management is no longer merely a gatekeeping function; it is a vital data-driven engine that optimizes workflow efficiency, space utilization, and operational resilience.

Malaysia serves as a critical strategic hub for ZKTeco’s expansion in ASEAN. As national infrastructure scales under the MyDIGITAL initiative, we remain dedicated to collaborating with our local partners to convert cutting-edge AI and multi-modal biometrics into measurable operational, economic, and social value—building safer, smarter, and more human-centric spaces throughout the region."

Looking ahead, ZKTeco will continue to strengthen its local infrastructure and engineering support in Malaysia, deploying advanced BioCV solutions across smart campuses, digital parks, commercial real estate, and critical infrastructure projects nationwide.
