International Facility Management Association (IFMA) Hong Kong Chapter
Details:
The collaborative project, “Digital Twin (Mixed Reality) Adoption for Improving Training and Inspection Processes in New Buildings”, developed by a team of students and a graduate from the School of Science and Technology (S&T), was again recognised in various competitions. It won a Bronze Award in the Undergraduate Category at the Energy-Saving and Low-Carbon Innovation for Tomorrow's Competition organised by CLP and the IET Hong Kong. And in the IFMA Asia Pacific Awards of Excellence 2024 organised by the IFMA Hong Kong Chapter, it received a Certificate of Merit in two categories, the Asia Pacific Award of Excellence in Collaborative Partnership and the Asia Pacific Award of Excellence in Innovation and Technology Application in FM.
Supervised by Assistant Professor Ir Dr Jimmy LI Chi-ho and in collaboration with Hong Yip Service Company Ltd., the team applies a Digital Twin model using Mixed Reality (MR) technology to simulate the process of new building inspection. It includes an MR platform designed to train property management practitioners in new building inspection and provide them with guidance on improving inspection efficiency. Hong Yip has already applied the MR platform in the training of practitioners and the inspection processes of their new residential buildings. The technology has been fine-tuned to meet the standards of both Hong Kong and mainland China.
Prior to that, the project had received several other awards, including a Platinum Award at the IFMA Inter-Institutional Competition on Best Facility Management Project Presentation 2024, a Merit Prize in the Entrepreneurship Proposal category at the 10th Hong Kong University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, a Special Prize at the 7th China Vocational Education Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition, and the Best Innovative Award and second runner-up in the Undergraduate Section at the IET Hong Kong — Young Professionals Exhibition & Competition 2024.

After graduating from OUHK, Krutz obtained an M.Sc. in Engineering Management from CityU. He is now completing his second master degree, M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering, at CUHK. Krutz has a wide range of working experience. He has been with Siemens, VTech, and PCCW.
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.
