【Hong Kong | 26 November, 2024】The world is rapidly transitioning into the Industry 4.0 era, with technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and Internet of Things (IoT) converging to empower new productive forces and drive high-quality economic development. The Hong Kong Industrial Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Centre (FLAIR), an expert in AI and robotics application R&D, is committed to empowering traditional and emerging industries with "Industrial AI", thereby contributing significantly to this transformative wave, as well as the development of new productive forces.
FLAIR will make its debut at the DMP Greater Bay Area Industrial Expo (Booth 8B01, Hall 8, Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Centre, Bao’an) from 26 to 29 November 2024. Under the theme of "Industrial AI", FLAIR will showcase its innovations in advanced manufacturing. As a highly influential industrial event in the Asia-Pacific region, the DMP Expo connects technology with industry by fostering the transformation and industrialisation of scientific research and leading technological innovations in advanced manufacturing across the Greater Bay Area. FLAIR, along with its five spin-off companies, will present platform solutions addressing key industry challenges in five areas: visual inspection, industrial product creation, next-generation warehouse logistics, low-code robotics, and sustainable green technologies.
Mr Edmond LAI, Chief Executive Officer of FLAIR, said, “FLAIR has successfully commercialised its research and development and entered the implementation phase. During the expo, FLAIR’s international R&D team will share successful cases of technological solutions developed in collaboration with industry partners, showcasing the practical application value and industrial impact of FLAIR’s technologies. We look forward to connecting with industry partners here to collaborate on advancing Industrial AI and bringing these cutting-edge technologies to more cities in the Greater Bay Area and throughout the Chinese Mainland. Our goal is to empower businesses to navigate the challenges of transformation, enhance productivity, and boost competitiveness.”

Highlights of FLAIR's Five Platforms:
- Vision Inspection Platform: A one-stop, no-code online platform for building AI vision inspection models, drastically reducing inspection costs and improving product quality across manufacturing, logistics, and other.
- Product Creation Platform: Automates assembly sequence planning, shortening product development cycles, reducing design iterations, and improving assembly efficiency for faster response to market needs.
- Logistics Platform: One of the first tools on the market to offer real-time bottleneck analysis. AI-powered insights and decision support improve logistics planning and operations efficiency, reducing operating costs.
- Robotics Platform: Exclusive features to provide a holistic approach and cyber-physical experience. Simplifies robot system development and deployment, and reduces development time and cost, making robotics accessible to more businesses to enhance automation.
- Sustainability Platform: Optimises waste management with AI-powered solutions such as intelligent waste sorting system (“ULTRASORT”). Improves recycling efficiency, reduces pollution, and integrates with industrial control systems (SCADA) to optimise production processes and reduce energy consumption, driving towards sustainable development.
FLAIR, backed by a strong international R&D team, has garnered numerous prestigious awards and patents, including the “Hong Kong ICT Awards 2024: ICT Startup (Hardware and Devices)” Gold Award, the TechConnect Global Innovation Award, and the APEC INPUT2 (Innovating for Public Urban Technology Transformation Competition) Start-Up Award. FLAIR has also actively participated in leading international technology exhibitions this year, such as the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (Shanghai), ECO Expo Asia 2024 (Hong Kong), and the 44th Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX) (Dubai), where its cutting-edge technologies have been met with widespread acclaim. These achievements solidify FLAIR’s position as a leader in industrial AI and contribute significantly to Hong Kong’s development as an international I&T centre.
