With artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation becoming major global trends in the engineering industry, increasing emphasis is being placed on how to leverage innovative technologies to enhance operational efficiency and workplace safety. Recently, members of the Hong Kong Minor Works Promotion Association (HKMWPA) visited the Canon office. The event aimed to facilitate industry exchange and to explore in depth the practical applications of AI document management and intelligent monitoring solutions within the engineering sector.

AI Document Management - Enhancing Efficiency and Optimising Operations

In the digital era, engineering projects involve a wide variety of documents, including engineering drawings, contracts, daily delivery notes, and invoices. Traditional document management methods often require significant manpower and time, and are prone to errors. During the event, Canon showcased its latest AI document management system, which can automatically capture and recognize the content of various documents, and classify and archive them according to preset rules. This automation speeds up the process and improves overall operational efficiency.

Intelligent Surveillance Solutions - Comprehensive Workplace Safety Protection

By integrating advanced access control and intercom systems, the intelligent surveillance solution enables effective management of personnel entry and exit. With AI-powered anomaly detection technology, the system can immediately alert security to incidents such as falls, abnormal movements, or overheating. In addition, real-time personnel and vehicle counting functions provide accurate on-site status updates, assisting management in preventing overload and further safeguarding both personnel and facilities.

Large-Format Printers - High-Quality Drawing 

The imagePROGRAF TZ series large-format printers are specifically designed for engineering industry and can produce high-quality prints with sharp lines and clear text. These printers are particularly suitable for CAD drawing output, which helps improve communication efficiency and execution in engineering projects.
