Date of Award: 28/04/2023
Our invention "Sensor-based Monitoring System for Piers" received a Bronze Medal in the 2023 Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions.
Co-developed with the Hong Kong Productivity Council, the "Sensor-based Monitoring System for Piers" collects real-time data on the impact force and vibration caused by vessels on piers when berthing, and upload it to the central processing system for automatic real-time data analysis. If the impact force exceeds the set value, the system can immediately send out message to notify relevant maintenance personel to inspect and repair the relevant marine facilities as soon as possible.
This System helps us in monitoring the structural health of piers and allows us to have more speedy response to any defects identified in piers, and also facilitates the formulation of long-term maintenance strategy.
