LSCM has been dedicated to the research and development of innovative technology to foster the growth and sustainability of the logistics industry.  One of the most important initiatives of the Centre is supporting the Transport and Logistics Bureau (TLB) to develop the Port Community System (PCS). The PCS is crucial to the development of Smart Port in Hong Kong, which would foster the digital transformation of the logistics industry and thereby strengthening Hong Kong’s status as a global logistics hub.

This video highlights the important features and advantages of the PCS. The PCS, leveraging advanced technologies, is a one-stop platform providing round-the-clock real-time cargo tracking function and linking up the sea, land, and air transportation information. It allows the users to effectively track and visualise the global supply chain and port logistics, which would facilitate the flow and sharing of data among the stakeholders in the maritime, port and logistics industries.

The development of the PCS represents the concerted effort of the government, industry, and related stakeholders to collaborate and foster the sustainable development of the maritime and logistics industry.

At the Edison Awards™ 2025 held on 2-3 April 2025 in the United States, LSCM was proud to receive one Gold Award and one Silver Award with two of its latest technologies, which is another remarkable achievement of the centre this year. Established in 1987, The Edison Awards™ is among the most prestigious accolades honouring excellence in new product and service development, marketing, design and innovation.

LSCM’s “Robo-9 with Multi-Sensor Technologies for the Visually Impaired” clinched the Gold Award in the “Engineering & Robotics” category at the event. This innovative technology enhances mobility for the visually impaired with advanced navigation and obstacle avoidance functionalities, simulating the guide dogs. Meanwhile, the “XRCC – Extended Reality Content Creation Suite,” developed in collaboration with The University of Hong Kong and VOTANIC Limited, received the Silver Award in the “Entertainment Design & Experience” category. XRCC empowers users to create dynamic XR experiences for training and experiential learning with ease.

LSCM’s success at The Edison Awards™ 2025 signified its dedication to develop innovative technologies in collaboration with various sectors to bring about meaningful and significant benefits to the industry and the community.

The 50th International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, took place from 9 to 13 April 2025 in Geneva, Switzerland, was a global event honouring the advancement in technology and innovation. This year, LSCM once again demonstrated its strength and expertise in technology R&D and has garnered 3 silver medals and 1 bronze medal at this prestigious event.

LSCM's award-winning projects highlight its commitment in developing advanced technologies to foster the smart city development in Hong Kong and in the Greater Bay Area. The project “Protecting the Ecological Environment in Construction Areas with an AIoT System” was awarded a silver medal for its ability to monitor the air quality, wildlife movements, and water changes for early detection of the environmental impact of construction. Another silver medal was awarded to the project "Assistive Technologies for Traditional Chinese Medicine Tele-Practice". It integrates pulse sensing and regeneration devices which are linked via wireless network to support remote medical consultations in Traditional Chinese Medicine practice. The project "Multi-Sensor Object Detection for Better Traffic Control", also awarded a silver medal, utilises  lidar, thermal cameras, radar, and standard cameras to monitor and optimise traffic flow. The Detachable Follow-me Robot, which was awarded a bronze medal, is capable of following the operator while assisting in transporting heavy and bulky items.

LSCM is excited to have received the prestigious awards again this year and will continue its effort in driving the progress of technology development to foster the industry growth and enhance the quality of life of the community.
