The Industrial Estate was renamed the "Innovation Park" and set up Asia's first advanced production facility

In recent years, the government has vigorously promoted the innovation and technology and re-industrialization industries. The Science and Technology Park Corporation has re-positioned Tseung Kwan O, Tai Po and Yuen Long Industrial Estates as "innovation parks" earlier, and set up an Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC) in the Tseung Kwan O Innovation Park. "Asia's first state-of-the-art production facility that integrates automation and smart logistics solutions across industries."

Tseung Kwan O AMC covers an area of ​​2.71 hectares with a total floor area of ​​about 109,000 square meters. It has seven floors and a floor height of six meters. It is expected to accommodate 2,500 I&T personnel.

The facility provides shared warehouses, shared logistics services, shared prototype manufacturing, low-volume assembly support, and cleanrooms.

AMC's logistics center operates 24 hours a day and is equipped with automated equipment, including driverless forklifts and machinery, which can load and unload goods.

The second floor of AMC is equipped with a jib, which can transport underground containers to the second floor.

The second floor of AMC is equipped with a boom, which can transport containers from the ground to the second floor.

The load-bearing capacity of the AMC Building is higher than that of general production plants. Some floors can bear an average of 25 tons, and some locations can bear more than 120 tons to meet the needs of different plants.

The automatic forklift was developed by a company established by the Zhongda team, which was later one of the companies in the Science Park.

Zha Yichao: The development of driverless forklifts belongs to the "park company"

Cha Yichao, chairman of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Park, said that the unmanned forklift technology in AMC was developed by VisionNav Robotics, founded by a research team of Chinese University, and stationed in Baishijiao Science Park. Applied in AMC under the management of Science Park.

He said that the through-the-lens, sensing device and the instruction code posted on the wall in the forklift can indeed automatically send the goods to the required place, saving manpower.

Science Park Phase II introduces Wet Lab

As for the development of other innovation and technology parks, Zha Yichao said that Tai Po Industrial Building has been rezoned into a "Medical Products Manufacturing Center" (MARS) to support the intelligent production of medical supplies, instruments, equipment, materials and health products, especially the current epidemic prevention. The Yuen Long Innovation and Technology Park will soon renovate the old factory and set up a Microelectronics Center (MEC).

He also said that the second phase of the Pak Shek Kok Science Park is also in progress, and the second phase of the expansion project is in progress. Completion in 2025.

A number of science and technology park innovation and technology companies leverage their innovation and technology strength to support the frontline anti-epidemic science and technology park Hong Kong innovation and technology career expo 2022 is open until April 16 to seize opportunities to develop innovation opportunities Talents Create New Opportunities Science Park 3.10 Holds Hong Kong's First Talent Recruitment Training Event T2 Provides Over 2,800 Jobs
