33 members
had joined the captioned visit organized by the Electrical Division on 10 August
2019.
As the first part of visit, all members had chance to visit the Interactive
Learning Centre (ILC). ILC is a learning centre which can provide technical
training with aid of innovative technology to help the staff to familiarize
with the maintenance procedures or operational steps. Through this interactive learning, the staff
could practice in a virtual environment rather than in a real environment which
may contain human hazards. During the visit, the participants could appreciate the
Hologram 3D system and virtual training systems for wedding, boiler operation,
lift maintenance, fire protection system operation etc.
After the visit of ILC, the participants also visited the E&M
InnoZone. EMSD has implemented a series of initiatives to drive Innovation and
Technology (I&T) development of E&M industry in the recent years. Setting up of E&M InnoZone also serves for
this purpose.
In the InnoZone, there were many interactive I&T projects that
are the outcome of EMSD’s I&T collaboration with academic institutions and
research institutions in Hong Kong. The exhibits cover the application of
Internet of Things (IoT), automation, artificial intelligence and energy
efficiency technologies. In the
InnoZone, our participants could appreciate many different innovative projects,
which include the washroom management system, VR cave, unmanned aerial vehicles
for indoor inspection of E&M installations, navigating laser guided vehicle
& etc. The participants were eager
to ask questions and exchanged their experience with colleague from EMSD on the
development of IoT and their application.
Through this technical visit, all members acquired an in-depth
understanding about the I&T development and application in Hong Kong. Taking
this opportunity, the Electrical Division would like to express our sincere
appreciation to engineering staff from EMSD Headquarter to make this visit
fruitful and successful.
