HKSTP drives Hong Kong mobility innovators to test and scale in Singapore
Ask a Hong Kong engineer why their product deserves a place abroad and you will often hear the same answer: the city is the hardest test bed they know. Towers scramble satellite signals, space is scarce, labour is expensive and safety rules leave little room for error. Survive that, the argument goes, and most other […] The post HKSTP drives Hong Kong mobility innovators to test and scale in…
Three Hong Kong technology firms are showcasing their mobility solutions at Singapore Urban Mobility Week, which runs from November 4 to 6. Trunk Tech develops autonomous trucks for ports, FJDynamics delivers 3D scanning and autonomous robot technologies, and Aerovision Technology Limited creates thermal detection systems, simulators, and satellite-jamming detectors. Two of the firms are still seeking local partners in Singapore.
Trunk Tech, founded in 2017, has already launched a live deployment at Tuas Port. The company's system aims to reduce staffing levels by 60% compared to traditional terminals by removing drivers from the equation. Trunk Tech has been meeting with various government and port groups in Singapore and is looking to form a local partner for truck integration, project delivery, and on-site support.
FJDynamics, a Hong Kong-based company with about 1,000 employees, specializes in high-precision positioning and digital mapping solutions for various industries, including construction and facility management. In Singapore, FJDynamics is exploring opportunities with local government agencies and businesses to digitize the construction industry, improve safety, reduce manual labor, and lower operating costs.
The company has already demonstrated the value of its LiDAR-based tools in Hong Kong and hopes to replicate this success in Singapore through pilot projects and collaborations.
Aerovision Technology Limited, based in Hong Kong, has developed a thermal detection system that identifies and classifies heat signatures to detect air cargo burning and monitor passenger luggage at Hong Kong International Airport. The company's General Manager, Horace Cheung, emphasizes their approach of identifying pain points in logistics, transport, or property management, developing core technology to solve them, and then finding applications in other industries.
Aerovision sees Singapore as a natural fit for its technology, given the city-state's density, wealth, and focus on safety.
