SMART DETECTION AND DETERRENCE OF LONG-TAILEDMACAQUES
territory.
What We Are Looking For
- Precise and accurate detection of long-tailed macaques. Ability to accurately detect and recognise the correct species of long-tailed macaques which can be triggered by visual, sounds, movements, behaviours, body heat but not limited to these.
- Automated recording of macaque movements. Ability to record long-tailed macaques and their movements by location, without compromising the privacy of residents in the estate. These recordings can be in the form of photos and videos with the precise location that they are detected at tagged.
- Functional in low-light and unfavourable weather conditions. Ability to capture, process and identify presence of long-tailed macaques in low light environment and unfavourable weather conditions including strong sunlight, strong winds, heavy rain, haze or fog.
- Automated real-time alerts. Upon detecting of long-tailed macaques, automatically push alerts to the relevant NParks officers in real-time so that they can immediately plan for the next steps. Transmission of data can be via LTE-M or other methods without involving additional infrastructure set-up costs.
- Guide and re-direct long-tailed macaques back to the wildlife. Include a non-intrusive solution to guide and re direct macaques that have ventured into resident estates back to the forest (e.g. deterrence drones, robotic guard dogs, smell). The solution can utilise digital technology or a combination of both digital technology and non-technology related.

AUTOMATING DATA MANAGEMENT AND INFORMATION SHARING ACROSS TEAMS
5 with CAG to smaller projects like signage installations for local businesses.
What We Are Looking For
• Centralised Data Management. The system should provide a unified platform beyond their current Google sheets and Sharepoint documents to consolidate all project-related information. This includes customer details, quotations, invoices, utility plans, and project updates. The centralised database should allow easy access, updating, and management of data, eliminating the current fragmentation across various formats and storage systems, and significantly reduce time spent searching for information and minimise the risk of data inconsistencies.
• Real-time Project Tracking. A key feature of the solution should be a customer-facing online web application. This portal should enable clients to track their project progress in real-time, reducing the need for frequent status inquiries. The system should provide automated notifications at key project milestones such as their permit applications from the respective authorities and allow clients to access and download the reports. This transparency will not only improve customer satisfaction but also reduce the administrative burden on JLCD's staff.

DESIGN AUTOMATION TOOL TO GENERATE INNOVATIVE PLAYGROUND PROPOSALS
Currently, Playpoint's design team faces challenges in meeting the rising demand for innovative playground designs while maintaining high standards of efficiency and quality. The existing design process, which can extend up to two weeks of waiting time from their clients for a new proposal, often limits the company’s ability to respond swiftly to client needs and secure more projects. While expedited timelines are sometimes necessary, they risk compromising design quality.
What We Are Looking For
● Export functionality. Allow designers to export designs in formats compatible with Playpoint’s current 3D modeling design software (Rhinoceros) and other 2D design tools (PhotoShop and Indesign).

It encompasses an individual's ability to access, comprehend, and utilise health information to promote and maintain good health for themselves, their families, and communities. This concept has evolved to include the skills necessary to navigate complex healthcare systems and make informed decisions.
What We Are Looking For
• Data Analytics: Be able to track key user engagement metrics, including login frequency and generate word clouds of common queries, providing insights into user behaviour and information needs. The dashboard should also be able to show the breakdown of the answer’s source based on the databases (i.e. databases provided by TGLH vs others).

ENHANCING TOILET CLEANING OPERATIONS IN SCHOOLS
For schools operated by MOE, cleaning is mainly done by cleaning service providers. MOE’s outcome- based cleaning contracts include requirements on areas to be cleaned in schools, and the prescribed frequency of cleaning of selected areas based on NEA’s requirements. Service providers are assessed on their performance via unscheduled audits twice a week, where auditors will assess and score the cleanliness of the various areas in the school on a scorecard based on MOE’s contract requirements, with 70% as a passing score.
What We Are Looking For
• Additional cleaning capabilities (optional). Solutions that cater to more areas of the toilet (e.g. mirrors, floors, sinks) will be advantageously considered.
