AIoT Multiplying Productivity (Artificial Intelligence & Internet Of Things)
With the collaboration by both Armitage and GS1 Hong Kong Smart Professional Service Team (SPS Team), AIoT technology was introduced to Sun Fat Heung (Branded Top Soya). Armitage and SPS Team both assisted AIot adoption with multiple application along their production line. AIoT multiplied their plant’s productivity by connecting and linking people, process and things (e.g. product / machinery) for physical goods production and asset management.
Sun Fat Heung is using video analytics ad AI application to capture production data in order to ensure the production output. For instance, it allows checking if expiry dates are clearly stamped on bottle caps, computing the amount of goods produced, and automating product validation and SKU identification. This improvement significantly reduces the occasional manual error and enhances the operational efficiency more than 30%.
Also, smart sensors are installed in their production area to capture environmental data including temperature, humidity, air quality and noise so as to safeguard product quality and occupational health. Those data captured not only helps production and managerial staff better understand the utilization pattern and usage of manpower, machines and electricity, but it also facilitates the benchmark establishment and preventive measure. This implementation minimizes loss and reduces fault rate by 10%. Taking and instance, when high temperature is detected in the beverage storage zone, staff is instantly alerted to go and check at once rather than routine patrol afterwards.
This project implementation by both Armitage and SPS Team provides confidence to Sun Fat Heung with significant improvement and benefit achieved. As a result, Sun Fat Heung is planning to expand this application to other warehouse’s / plant’s operation so as to enhance the quality of production output and management.
