Service Highlights
We collaborated with the City University of Hong Kong to develop a Smart Switch Room for the
Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence. The Smart Switch Room uses wireless sensors and
remote monitoring technology to collect data, helping us to gauge the condition of the electrical
installations.
We have developed an escalator monitoring system for the Tai Shing Street Market. With the
adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and enhancement through machine learning,
the system can monitor not only the work of contractors but also various incidents. It will notify
us of incidents and capture the course of incidents for inspection by staff.
The EMSD tested and commissioned the E&M system and equipment for the Treasury Building
in Cheung Sha Wan to ensure that client departments can commence their services to the public
smoothly upon its practical completion.
The Correctional Services Department (CSD) actively collaborated with the EMSD to build the
first Smart Prison in Hong Kong at the Tai Tam Gap Correctional Institution and its launching
ceremony was held in May 2021. We assisted the CSD in employing various innovation and
technology systems, including the Video Analytic Monitoring System, the E-locker System for
persons in custody and the Integrated Intelligent Communication System, to enhance the
security and operational efficiency of correctional institutions.
The EMSD and the Chinese University of Hong Kong jointly developed a new patented wireless
communication system for underground drains. With the application of Quadrifilar Helix
Antenna and the Government-Wide Internet of Things Network, this solution can help solve the
signal blockage caused by manhole covers, thus ensuring more effective monitoring of the
underground drainage system by clients.
In the second half of 2021, the EMSD jointly held the world's first and largest Global AI Challenge
for Building E&M Facilities with the Guangdong Provincial Association for Science and
Technology. Rich in content, the event included a technical conference (bottom), an AI
competition and a workshop.
During the epidemic, we introduced a new disinfection robot to our clients. The robot can carry
out disinfection automatically, thus reducing the workload and infection risk of cleansing staff.
