Digitalisation with an Edge

Rodent control has always been important in both commercial and residential projects as rodents transmit diseases, contaminate food and cause structural damage. Rodents are a real challenge to capture and eliminate as they learn to recognise traps quickly. As such, it is important to evolve and come up with newer solutions which are more effective.

To tackle this challenge, Cre8tec has developed “Ratsense” for effective rodent control. By monitoring rodent habits and hot zones, pest control companies can place their traps more efficiently and exterminate pests effectively. Through data trending for predictive analysis, less time will be wasted checking areas that report lesser or no activity as compared to areas that report higher rodent activity for informed decision making.

This is accomplished with 24/7 monitoring via IoT sensors providing real-time feedback.

To fight the spread of disease and the breeding of pests, the hygiene of your surroundings is critical. One key element to maintaining to public health that we often overlook is the waste bin. Ensuring it is emptied regularly can prevent rubbish from piling up. However, with high manpower costs, there is a need for innovative solutions to meet hygiene standards without breaking the bank.

Enter Convergent Smart Technologies and their Smart Bin System. Through their sensors, they can track whether a bin is full and alert cleaners to empty the trash. If a bin is knocked over or if fire hazard materials are improperly disposed within the bin, the cleaner on duty will be notified as well to ensure the health and safety of the public.

In a water-scarce country like Singapore, water is a resource that we cannot take lightly. Besides our recycling and conservation efforts, the advent of technology has created a new way by which we can protect this precious commodity and ensure wastage is kept to a minimum.

That is why DTDS Technology and their Smart Water Metering can help in the national agenda of water conservation. With real-time remote monitoring of water consumption, they enable building operators to identify abnormal readings that can signify leaks or pilferage.

Building a sustainable nation rests on effective resource allocation. However, many businesses face challenges in energy consumption monitoring due to the massive amount of available data that needs to be collected across complex systems that have low flexibility. In some cases, there is a general lack of readings to enable actionable insights.

This is where Pylon City, an Internet of Energy (IoE) startup, is making a difference. They aim to empower real estate owners and property developers with data and analytics. This will help organisations identify usage, wastage and potential areas for improvement to drive cost savings and lower our carbon footprint.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we live, work and play. Being socially responsible now means wearing a mask and undergoing compulsory temperature checks before entering common areas. With manual tracking of temperature being time-consuming and prone to human error, how can we stay safe while improving productivity?

One of the fastest to react to this situation was MaCH eX. Their Smart Auto-Temperature Screening (SATS) solution provides an affordable, accurate and contactless means to measure body temperature on arrival without the need for physical interaction. SATS also offers data analytics for end-users to better understand their visitors’ profile, and co-relates “unhealthy personnel” incidents with “at risk” individuals to support critical Contact Tracing functions.
