The
Smart Urban Co-Innovation Lab, Southeast Asia’s first industry-led lab focused
on smart cities solutions was initiated by CapitaLand and opened on October 28,
2020 with support from the Singaporean government. The Lab brings together
leaders across various industries to co-create and test innovations at
CapitaLand’s 5G-enabled Singapore Science Park.

This initiative will leverage Azbil’s building automation capabilities with the Lab’s capability to bring together industry leaders for developing, testing, and integrating proof-of-concept technologies to enhance customer experience and comfort. Through the Lab, Azbil will explore possible collaborations with other participating companies to develop and manage projects requiring energy management solutions for the life cycle of buildings.

As part of this
initiative, Azbil will install its pandemic-ready airflow control system in the Lab. The system can
easily convert an office meeting room into a temporary “pandemic-ready room” to
isolate anyone who is suspected of carrying an infectious
disease, while waiting to be taken to medical facilities.

Mr. Aylwin Tan, Chief Customer Solutions Officer of CapitaLand Group said: “Since its opening in October 2020, the Smart Urban Co-Innovation Lab has gained traction with industry players to explore the development of smart cities solutions. We welcome Azbil’s participation with our growing community to jointly discover, develop and deploy technologies through co-innovation.”

This collaboration brings like-minded organizations and communities together to work more closely towards our common goals of providing smart cities, smart buildings and smart infrastructure services and solutions. Our partnership is an exciting one, as it drives us to keep innovating.” said Mr. Kazuyasu Hamada, President of Building Systems Company, Azbil Corporation.
