1. INTRODUCTION
JTC introduced the Open Innovation Call in June 2014 under its Industrial
Infrastructure Innovation (I3) Partnership Programme. It is a call for collaboration
initiated by JTC to solicit proposals from industry players to develop and test-bed
innovative infrastructure solutions in our buildings and estates. The objective is
to boost industry research and support industry players in developing relevant
innovative ideas to meet JTCs needs.
By making available our buildings and estates, as well as defraying part of the
development costs involved in test-bedding these solutions, JTC aims to help
participating companies reduce business risk involved and bring them to market.
Through the Open Innovation Call, companies will be given the opportunity to
test-bed or deploy their solutions in JTCs buildings and estates, working
alongside JTCs engineers and operations personnel to test the viability of their
solutions in a real-world environment.
As the Centre of Excellence for building & infrastructure (B&I) projects for public
agencies, JTC recognises the importance of consistently driving the
development and adoption of new technologies and solutions that improve
construction productivity and safety, security, facilities management, and
industrial goods movement.
In the third Open Innovation Call, JTC is looking for robotics and automation
solutions and technologies which could potentially address problems in
infrastructure development and tackle challenges faced in building and estate
operations. Companies are invited to submit proposals that can address eight
challenge statements under four main themes.

Solutions for Patrol and Surveillance
Please refer to Annex A for more details on each of the problem statements.
3. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
The Call is open to all industry players in the relevant field with experience in
robotics and automation, including companies and engineering startups,
industry researchers and academia.
Existing academic staff in NUS, NTU and SUTD must submit their proposals
via the existing JTC I3 Centres in their respective institutions. Researchers
and academia are strongly encouraged to collaborate with companies and/or
startups to develop relevant solutions with a preference for the Principal
Investigator (i.e. project leader) to be from companies and/or startups.

5. OTHER DETAILS
The Open Innovation Call will be opened between 30 May 2017 and 31 July
2017 (both dates inclusive). The deadline for submission is on 31 July 2017
at 23:59 hours (Singapore time, GMT+8).
Step 2: Submit your proposal in the format of the proposal template available
on the JTC corporate website together with all supporting documents to
JTC_Open_Innovation@jtc.gov.sg, stating the following in the email subject
line: Submission for JTCs 3rd Open Innovation Call [Proposed Title]
by [Company Name]. The proposal submitted must clearly state how it
addresses the requirements of the Challenge Statement. The deadline for
submission is 31 July 2017 at 23:59 hours (Singapore time, GMT+8).
Step 3: Selected proposals will be notified by JTC via email within four months
from the closing date of the Call.
6. TEST-BED SITES
JTC provides the opportunity for solution owners to test-bed their solutions
within JTCs developments in Singapore, either in an ongoing construction
project, building development or at the estate-level development. The
possible test-bedding sites include, but are not limited to:
(1) Clean Tech Park (including Clean Tech One, Clean Tech Two and/or
future developments)
(2) one-north
(3) JTC Summit
JTC reserves the right to use alternative facilities within JTCs developments
for the test-bedding phase of the project.

2. Excavation Works
Challenges The safety hazards posed to the excavator operator when he has
to work at congested sites include
tipping of excavators,
excavator striking high voltage cables and/or;
workers struck by swing boom of excavator

Challenges The current practice requires workers to monitor and guide the
mobile/tower cranes as they move around and operate in
different parts of the site. This sub-optimises onsite manpower
and poses a safety hazard risk to workers who have to work near
these mobile cranes.

Current Pipes and ducts are usually installed in constricted spaces such
Situation as above ceiling spaces, risers and underground spaces so that
it is visually more aesthetic. However, this means that they are
not easily accessible, thereby making it difficult to conduct
manual inspection on a routine basis. Without proper routine
inspection and maintenance of the pipe/duct integrity, pipes and
ducts tend to deteriorate faster, resulting in higher user
dissatisfaction and inconvenience.
2. Localised Inspection
As existing method is conventional and manual, usually
inspections are done in a localised inspection manner. Inspection
can only be done in segments where inspection
chamber/access/valves had already been fitted out during the
design and construction. Hence, it prolonged the duration of the
inspection (i.e. 2-3 segments per day)
