    PROBLEM STATEMENTS

    • Category: Robotics & AI
    • Business unit: 11SKIES
    • Details: K11 retail malls aim to serve shoppers with a unique, game-changing shopping experience that brings together culture, art, and innovation. Our malls, K11 MUSEA, Guangzhou K11, and 11SKIES seek innovative robotics and/or AI solution for the following use case:

      One of our sites will serve shoppers from Hong Kong, the Greater Bay Area and the rest of the world. We require innovative solutions especially on customer shopping behavior/pattern identification to cross-sell our offerings to the targeted mall visitors. The solution should be able to cater to the different customer segments who will be able to enjoy a tailored, original and innovative mall journey and in the New World Group Ecosystem.

      Market research estimates that over 55% of our visitors are tourists (35% Mainland China tourists; 20% international tourists). The international tourist segment comes from South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines and Thailand, and are more likely to visit 11 SKIES, and therefore multilingual capabilities should be considered.

    • Category: AI
    • Business unit: K11 MUSEA 

    • Details: MUSEA aims to use technology to identify international up and coming brands/concepts that are looking to enter Hong Kong or Asia markets. We are looking for an intelligent and easy-to-use solution that would collect, consolidate, and recommend up and coming brands/concepts that are aligned with MUSEA’s vision and positioning, in order to drive mutual collaboration and growth opportunities.

    • Category: Robotics & AI
    • Business unit: Hip Seng (Construction) 
    • Details: Hip Seng aims to find smart solutions that can assist humans in completing repetitive tasks in construction sites, while being able to cope with space constraints and/or network limitations. In addition, we are also looking for an intelligent solution that can provide scan-to-BIM feature accurately and efficiently.
    • Category: Robotics & AI
    • Business unit: NWCL
    • Details: In anticipation of the future changes to come in community management services, New World China Land (NWCL)  is looking to provide unique and innovative experiences to our tenants and patrons through the application of technology.
    • Category: Robotics
    • Business unit: Property Management
    • Details: Technology is changing the way property management is done on a daily basis. At our K11 facilities, we are looking to deploy solutions to that can help reduce the human capital intensive work needed to maintain our properties. We are looking for robotics or AI solutions that can:
      • Automatically clean bathroom facilities without human intervention
      • Clean floors at scale and on an industrial level
      • Effectively and efficiently collect and measure waste from each tenant
      • Minimize the impact of noise and air pollutants during renovations
      • Sustainably and effectively dry the umbrellas of incoming mall patrons
      • Standardize the signage across the whole property (interior/ exterior/ parking lot)
      • Autonomously measure body temperatures of mall patrons
