AI video analytics tool, Q-Crowd Counter (QCC), will be deployed at the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2025. Jointly developed with the Singapore Police Force, the QCC utilises live drone camera feeds to accurately determine crowd numbers, enabling police officers to better assess ground situations and prevent overcrowding incidents. Leveraging artificial intelligence and computer vision technology, the QCC delivers precise crowd counts within seconds which is more efficient and accurate than previous methods, such as thermal imaging, especially in low-light conditions.

We recently concluded the HTX Annual Cycle 2024, and what a memorable ride it was! The event kicked off with a bicycle workshop where participants picked up essential tips to keep their rides in peak condition. This set the stage for an exciting 7-day challenge, where participants clocked distances at their own pace—staying active while building stronger connections along the way. This year’s Annual Cycle was particularly special, serving as a prelude to our 5th Anniversary celebrations. Adding to the excitement were the amazing prizes up for grabs. With five finisher milestones to achieve, participants were motivated to pedal harder as each milestone unlocked even more attractive rewards. Here’s to the spirit of fitness, camaraderie, and fun that makes HTX truly special. #HTXsg #AnnualCycle2024 #5thAnniversary

Ever heard of a plate-cutting ceremony? It’s the shipbuilding equivalent of a ribbon-cutting ceremony! While ribbon-cutting ceremonies mark the opening of new stores or buildings, a plate-cutting ceremony celebrates the beginning of a ship’s construction. On 25 November 2024, the plate-cutting ceremony for the next-generation Firefighting (FiFi) Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) marked the official start of its construction. Developed by HTX’s Robotics, Automation & Unmanned Systems Centre of Expertise in collaboration with ST Engineering, the next-generation FiFi USV aims to boost the Singapore Civil Defence Force’s autonomous maritime firefighting and emergency response capabilities. Here’s a sneak peek of the innovative capabilities the vessel will bring to the table once completed: • Autonomous navigation specially designed with Singapore’s heavy maritime traffic in mind • AI hotspot detection for enhanced firefighting • SONAR for underwater search • HazMat detectors • Remote lifebuoy deployment 🔗 https://go.gov.sg/fifi #HTXsg #Firefighting #MaritimeSafety #SCDF #HTxAI #AI #ArtificialIntelligence
