Tune in to the insightful conversation with Eriol Leong, Senior Consultant for Healthtech and Chinese Medicine, and Angela Yu, Deputy Head for Healthtech and Chinese Medicine, from the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), as they delve into HKPC's commitment to upholding the stringent Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards for traditional Chinese medicine products and their innovative response to labour shortages and productivity challenges in the packaging process. 

HKPC's groundbreaking solution, SmartPack@TCM, employs industrial robots equipped with cutting-edge features such as return systems and high-speed, precise dispensing, to not only significantly enhance productivity but also ensure product safety and quality, earning them the prestigious Smart Technology – Manufacturing Technology award at the HKB Technology Excellence Awards 2023. 

HKPC also earned recognition in the Robotics – Property Services category for developing the IoT Smart Toilet Cleaning System, tailor-made for high-traffic public areas, which autonomously identifies toilets in need of cleaning, navigates the robot through narrow stall doors, conducts thorough toilet bowl cleaning, and even engages in self-cleaning, all without human intervention. The robot utilises IoT technology to monitor air quality within restroom stalls, triggering cleaning routines, and it's adept at self-maintenance and water replenishment, making it an ideal solution for bustling public restrooms.
