Smart transformation at construction sites enhances management efficiency 13.05.2020 Play/Pause Stop Mute/Unmute Vol+ Vol- Fullscreen Hong Kong is moving into the 5G era. Providing more than just a faster internet speed, 5G will help develop the Internet of Things (IoT), with its low-latency advantage, and bring about major changes for different industries. In recent years, SHKP’s Construction Department has partnered with SmarTone to implement smart management at the 98 How Ming Street construction site. It incorporates new technology, such as artificial intelligence, image analytics, cloud and IoT, to provide a new understanding of site works. Comprehensive online management KM Chan, Project Manager of the Construction Department, said that the department’s Information Technology team developed a Construction Management System to put smart management into practice. Documents such as drawings, project information, construction plans and methods, and paperwork with consultants can be uploaded to the cloud for processing. This facilitates more convenient data retrieval and helps promote a paperless office. Through mobile phones or computers, staff can gain cloud access to construction progress reports, 360-degree and time-lapse site photos, workers’ attendance records, power consumption analysis of large equipment, the hand tool inventory system with QR codes, and other assets. This significantly boosts management efficiency and allows staff to keep better track of construction progress. Implementing the SmartWorks solution The site at 98 How Ming Street also uses SmartWorks, a solution developed by SmarTone and the first-prize winner in the construction safety category in the 2019 CIC Construction Innovation Awards. Nick Yau, Technical Sales Manager at SmarTone, explained that the solution equips workers with a smart helmet, which allows supervisors to keep track of the time workers enter and exit the site and check their real-time health condition through IoT sensors and GPS tracking. The smart helmet also has an emergency button, which can send an SOS signal automatically or manually by the workers in the event of an accident. SmartWorks also features a danger alert and access control functionality to allow supervisors to predefine controlled areas and ensure that all workflows comply with the safety regulations. To enhance safety at the site, a radar system installed on heavy machines sets off an alert if someone gets too close, while facial recognition and smart video analytics ensure that only authorized personnel can enter a restricted area. All dump trucks are equipped with GPS trackers to fully automate the recording and monitoring of traffic routes. Image-recognition technology records registration plate numbers, checks whether the back of dump trucks are covered properly, and ensures that the dump truck disposes of construction waste at the designated location. KM Chan added that smart transformation at the construction site has helped improve the efficiency of the workforce. He said that SHKP will continue to adopt new technologies to enhance product quality, construction efficiency and safety at its construction sites.

Let's Park – Hong Kong's first one-stop digital parking solution 21.04.2020 Play/Pause Stop Mute/Unmute Vol+ Vol- Fullscreen Let's Park, established last year by Wilson Group, a subsidiary of SHKP, is a one-stop electronic parking platform that promotes digital transformation in the parking management industry. By consolidating parking resources in a dedicated mobile app, Let's Park provides parking space owners with a greater opportunity to lease their spots, while also helping drivers find a parking space more easily. Optimizing parking resources with easy operation Let's Park is a platform to connect available parking assets with the driving community, said Jessica So, General Manager of Let's Park. It allows parking space owners to make additional income by leasing their vacant parking spots on an hourly, monthly or time-sharing basis, and drivers can use the service to rent a parking space without the hassle of queueing for parking. For hourly parking, bookings can be made from 10 days to 15 minutes in advance; for monthly parking and time-sharing, parkers can submit a request 24 hours beforehand. The user-friendly operation provides great flexibility and convenience for both space owners and parkers. Facilitating the digital transformation of car parks To encourage different car parks to join Let's Park, the team designed a smart system, called 'bCODE', which is compatible with most parking gates in Hong Kong. After making a booking, drivers can gain access to the car park via a 'Smart Pass' sent to their mobile phone. They can enjoy a more streamlined parking experience because the system does not modify the original database of the car park. In addition, Let's Park offers an enterprise management solution to assist car parks in digital transformation, including automating the management of the sale and transaction of monthly passes. "We will set up a new website for parking companies to list their vacant parking spaces," said Jessica. "This will offer them a better chance to lease their space through greater exposure." Jessica added that Let's Park supports the advancement of Hong Kong's smart city journey. Since its launch several months ago, the platform has received a highly encouraging market response for its monthly pass service, and discussions on collaboration with a number of parking management companies are underway. As Let's Park continues to develop and grow its user base, she said she believes that digital car park management is set to become more prevalent in the industry.
