馮廣照的「果皮家族」Michael’s “Fruit Peel Family”

用電腦技術貢獻社企發展 Social Enterprise Charged with Computing Knowhow

馮廣照,同學都叫他「阿照」,走過幾年不平凡的創業之路,當中「果皮家族」是他放了很多心機的地方,多謝「阿照」接受MUC訪問。

「果皮家族」是一家以生產和銷售清潔劑為主要業務的社會企業,由阿照及另外幾位都大學生創辦。該社企名稱源於成分來源:棄置果皮。通過收集及化學轉化為清潔劑,再包裝出售。製造過程吸納了社會弱勢群體和庇護工場,及新來港人士等。也希望宣揚環境保護及循環再用意識。

「果皮家族」曾經獲多個獎項及媒體訪問,特別是奪得大專Enactus社企比賽的香港賽區出線權,到上海參與中國賽。「果皮家族」也常「落區」去學校等,介紹他們的信念。

阿照很高興他的電腦知識有助「果皮家族」的發展。通過他開發的電子購物平台,公眾可以更多地了解水果果皮和在線上訂單。他覺得在香港都會大學的學習經驗對他的幫助很大。特別是同學之間的良好關係,教授的友善支持。遇上疑難都可獲解決,多得教授在項目的各個階段提供了他們的時間和專業知識。

阿照喜歡在都大電腦的三年學習時光,他認識了很多好朋友,覺得教授們非常平易近人。他積極參與學術及課外活動,曾參加東盟電腦科大學生會議,並發表畢業論文及獲得優異獎。

畢業後,阿照和另一位都大電腦的同學,獲數碼港創意微型基金資助,開展另一個對社會有貢獻的項目,讓我們拭目以待吧!

馮廣照(Michael)是都大電腦系2015年畢業生。

Hugo Leung
Software and Hardware Engineer
Innovation Team Company Limited

Hugo Leung Wai-yin, who graduated from his four-year programme in 2015, won the Best Paper Award for his ‘intelligent pill-dispenser’ design at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering’s International Conference on Consumer Electronics – China 2015.

The pill-dispenser alerts patients via sound and LED flashes to pre-set dosage and time intervals. Unlike units currently on the market, Hugo’s design connects to any mobile phone globally. In explaining how it works, he said: ‘There are three layers in the portable pillbox. The lowest level is a controller with various devices which can be connected to mobile phones in remote locations. Patients are alerted by a sound alarm and flashes. Should they fail to follow their prescribed regime, data can be sent via SMS to relatives and friends for follow up.’ The pill-dispenser has four medicine slots, plus a back-up with a LED alert, topped by a 500ml water bottle. It took Hugo three months of research and coding to complete his design, but he feels it was worth all his time and effort.

Hugo’s public examination results were disappointing and he was at a loss about his future before enrolling at the OUHK, which he now realizes was a major turning point in his life. He is grateful for the OUHK’s learning environment, its industry links and the positive guidance and encouragement from his teachers. The University is now exploring the commercial potential of his design with a pharmaceutical company. He hopes that this will benefit the elderly and chronically ill, as well as the society at large.

Soon after completing his studies, Hugo joined an automation technology company as an assistant engineer. He is responsible for the design and development of automation devices. The target is to minimize human labor and increase the quality of products. He is developing products which are used in various sections, including healthcare, manufacturing and consumer electronics.
