Project Description

The Food Innovation and Resource Centre (FIRC) was launched in 2007 as a joint initiative between Singapore Polytechnic and Enterprise Singapore (previously SPRING Singapore). It is established to provide food enterprises with technical expertise in new product and process development including packaging, shelf life evaluation, market testing and automation.

The food production process requires multiple machines. A production has different stages where different machines are required. The machines cannot be used concurrently, hence scheduling is the key to increasing utilisation and improve productivity.

Food SME Lite had developed input devices for supervisors to key in the utilisation period of the machines where the information will be synchronised to the cloud database. The information captured includes the machines active period, the stage of production the machine was involved and for which process.

The Project is to develop a responsive web application to access the data captured and provide insightful information of machines usage on dashboards to help improve scheduling decisions thus improving machine utilisation. This could close the gap between current production status and planning production.

Food industry producers can enhance the company’s productivity using the dashboard systems to track and view equipment and product details through clear data visualisation. Furthermore, this allows them to maximise production which ultimately increases their profit, bringing benefits to the company.

Project Description

Built using multiple AIs in the domain of Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Semantic Similarity, our recommendation & recognition system is specifically catered towards SkillsFuture’s unique Skills Framework comprised of the Critical Work Functions, Key Tasks, Technical Skills & Competencies and
Critical Core skills required for a job.

The system can accurately and efficiently determine what skills our users have, encompassing a wide array of skills,
including domain-specific ones like knowledge of software, e.g., Python, Java, MySQL, converting them into the format of the Skills Framework, e.g., Cloud Computing or Computational Modelling.

Using the framework, it will then recommend the jobs most suited to our users based on their knowledge, experience, and skills that they possess, as identified by the system previously.

The pain points were the base ideology of the project was setup in previous phases as it was not ready for commercial use due to its speed and accuracy. The previous phase also had performance issues and glaringly flawed design problems that needed to resolved or rebuilt.

The project value-add to the transformation was the team providing a much faster and highly accurate back-end engine for the client to use. We also restructured and updated the Neo4j database that was already setup with updated data.

A key milestone achieved during this phase is that we are in initial stages of deployment and have set up the full application online to test and use.

The team also changed and used the XLM-RoBERTa model as our Named Entity Recognition model as it was evaluated to be the best performing model. The NER system made performed well and achieved a high f1-score which allowed us to have a well-oiled back-end engine to work on any resume given.

Furthermore, we introduced a new Semantic Similarity matching system to more accurately determine the skills that our user possesses when translated into the Skills Framework taxonomy.

We also did a revamp on the recommender system to comply with the new NER and updated database.

Key technologies introduced to the project were NLP concepts, Named Entity Recognition, Semantic Similarity, and the Neo4j database.

Project Description

QlassroomPlay is a Web3-inspired learning application that encourages daily study habits through the use of cryptocurrency and gamification features. At the centre of QlassroomPlay are Pen and Book NFTs that users obtain to help them in their learning. Users can equip Pens to gain special in-game advantages during practice. Books are used to unlock subjects for users to learn about such as Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.

While there are many learning applications already in the market that caters to students needs including QlassroomAI itself, not many address possible motivation and focus problems that students may have when studying. With this application, we hope to alleviate this problem by introducing gamification features to keep students interested in learning. Not only does this application complement QlassroomAI’s special learning algorithm, it also introduces some cryptocurrency concepts to students which are useful in this day and age. Consequently, QlassroomAI’s system of learning applications is diversified with the introduction of this application, ensuring that all the needs of any student is met no matter the challenges they may face.

While the development was rocky in its initial stages with the overall design going through numerous iterations, the team and the client finally reached a consensus with a combination of design proposals from both sides. The client agreed that the finalised design complemented QlassroomAI’s current design well.

Currently, the React Native application is made partially with our own assets and animations. The pen assets were made through the use of the Moralis.io NFT generation API while the rest were made through Adobe Photoshop. In the heart of the application lies the learning algorithm that provides a curated list of questions for each user based on their learning profile. The application features a friend system as well through the use of Redis that facilitates friend requests on the application.

Project Title

Unmanned Aircraft for Inspection

Project Team

Diploma in Aerospace Electronics (DASE) – Lin Qunming – Ng Geng Hong





Project Description

In this project, the team proposes the use of an unmanned aircraft (UA) to carry out inspections of high rise building façade, Roof-Top and Floating Solar Photovoltaic Panels. The purpose of such inspections is to ensure that structural defects like cracks, rusts and abnormal localised hotspot on solar panels can be detected early and rectified. With the deployment of UA, building and solar panels inspectors need not scale great heights to inspect buildings and solar panels. The UA inspection could cover a wider inspection areas and also take lesser time as compared to manual inspection by the inspector. In addition, preparation time to setup scaffolding or Gondola system is no longer required which also translate to time and cost saving for each inspection task. The UA is fitted with a thermal camera and HD webcam to pick up thermal and video images during the inspection. With the new arrival of fifth generation, 5G, wireless technology that has higher speed, lower latency and greater capacity than 4G LTE networks. Live video footages from the drone can be transmitted via 5G connectivity online to the artificial intelligent (AI) video analytics perform real-time video and data analysis. Leveraging on benefits of 5G connectivity, any anomalies and defects detected during the inspection can be immediately assessed and verified. As a results, repeated inspections and offline video analytic processing are not required. Therefore, the total duration for a full inspection activity is significantly shorter. In addition, with the advantage of low latency of 5G wireless technology remote operation and autonomous control of drone for applications such as inspections, surveillance and parcel delivery is now possible. Undertaking this project to implement and integrate 5G wireless technology and thermal imaging will benefit our staff and students in two fronts. Firstly, using of drone to perform building inspections is on the rise as many buildings and structural are more than 20 years and also there is a wide deployment of Solar PV systems in Singapore. Therefore, it is important our staff and graduates could be part of the workforce in this increasingly growing domain. Secondly, The experience of integrating and implementing the new 5G wireless technology from scratch enables our students to develop in-depth knowledge of 5G connectivity and contribute positively to the project and aerospace industry. Through the journey of this project, we provide opportunities for our staff and students to build their capabilities in emerging technologies such as 5G communications, Video Analytic, AI and machine learning to name a few.
