APX Technologies leads in ESG Tech with VIDSafe MSS at SBR Technology Excellence Awards 2024

Their VIDSafe Mobile Elevated Work Platform Safety Surveillance system showcases innovative integration of ultra-low bandwidth video streaming and IoT for sustainable, inclusive safety solutions.

APX Technologies has emerged as a frontrunner in the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Tech - Safety & Security category at the prestigious SBR Technology Excellence Awards 2024. The recognition was awarded for its innovative VIDSafe Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWP) Safety Surveillance (MSS) system, a groundbreaking initiative that marries ultra-low bandwidth video streaming with Internet of Things (IoT) integration. This fusion of technology underscores APX Technologies' commitment to environmental sustainability, social inclusivity, and robust governance standards.

The VIDSafe MSS system stands out for its unique approach to surveillance, utilising ultra-low bandwidth video streaming coupled with low-powered equipment. This technology ensures energy efficiency and operational effectiveness whilst addressing the critical need for data-efficient surveillance solutions. Notably, VIDSafe MSS enables real-time monitoring and robust data security, setting a new standard in safety technology.

VIDSafe MSS has been designed to confront MEWP safety challenges head-on, aligning with key ESG performance targets. From an environmental perspective, the use of low-power devices allows for sustainable long operating hours, designed to operate like power tools in construction sites, swapping extra battery packs or recharging after each use.  

Additionally, stable continuous streaming over a 4G mobile network reduces the need for edge devices, further enhancing environmental sustainability. Socially, by reducing the data strain on network infrastructure, VIDSafe MSS can be deployed in regions with limited network access, ensuring social inclusivity. Its ultra-low bandwidth capabilities, coupled with onsite alarms, improve operational efficiency and ensure the swift transmission of critical information during real-time monitoring. 

From a governance standpoint, VIDSafe MSS adheres to rigorous standards, including compliance with government mandates for construction companies. Its emphasis on data efficiency and privacy mitigates the risk of data breaches, establishing a reliable and responsible surveillance solution.

The deployment of VIDSafe MSS at the Seng Kang West Depot has demonstrated its effectiveness and innovation. Featuring video analytics and sensor integration, the system alerts workers to safety violations and allows for multiple user access, enhancing overall site safety. A customer has praised the transformative impact of VIDSafe MSS, stating, “APX Technologies revolutionised our safety approach in the challenging construction environment with their MEWP surveillance. The seamless blend of low power, low bandwidth, and operational excellence not only ensures energy and network sustainability but elevates safety standards to new heights."

The reduced bandwidth demands of VIDSafe MSS underscore its scalability, reliability, and energy efficiency, promoting economic and resource sustainability. This innovative approach allows for deployment in various use cases aligned with ESG principles, showcasing APX Technologies' dedication to aligning technological advancements with ESG goals.

APX Technologies' VIDSafe MSS exemplifies how technological innovation can be leveraged to meet ESG objectives, particularly in the realm of safety and security. By optimising data usage, enhancing accessibility in surveillance, and prioritising data security, VIDSafe MSS not only advances public safety measures but also champions a more sustainable, secure, and equitable digital future. The SBR Technology Excellence Awards 2024 recognition is a testament to APX Technologies' leadership in ESG Tech - Safety & Security, marking a significant milestone in their journey towards excellence in cybersecurity and technological innovation.
