The Dead End in the Security Industry

Thursday, November 30, 2023 TimeTec 0 Comments


Attendees of this year's largest security exhibition in China, CPSE, held in Shenzhen, expressed a common sentiment: a noticeable absence of groundbreaking technological innovations. This observation isn't surprising.

Presently, there is a burgeoning trend advocating for the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into all products. Regrettably, the AI surge within the realm of security industry predominantly centers on visual or image processing technology. This surge had its zenith during the era of China's AI Four Little Dragons: SenseTime, Megvii, Yitu, and CloudWalk. However, developments in image processing for CCTV monitoring, license plate recognition, fingerprints, and facial recognition have reached a maturity stage, with subsequent innovations being incremental.

The upcoming AI trend is pivoting towards text-based technologies, exemplified by systems like ChatGPT and large-scale language models (LLM). Yet, this transition encounters a hurdle in the security industry due to its reliance on big data, with the valuable data primarily derived from images rather than text. Scenarios demanding substantial amounts of text are rare in the security sector.

Moreover, security products, despite their breadth, inherently possess limitations—they operate at the periphery and cannot infiltrate a client's core operations. For instance, surveillance, access control, smart lock and other security measures provide peripheral defense, ensuring safety but not delving into the client's core business operations. The data generated by security systems is, therefore, not inherently valuable to the businesses they serve. Consequently, the next AI trend appears to be outside the purview of the security industry.

Unless the security industry is willing to dismantle its barriers, draw lessons from tech giants, and transcend its traditional boundaries during the era of digital transformation, it will struggle to create significant development space. This is exemplified by the conspicuous absence of the world's largest surveillance manufacturer, Hikvision, from the exhibition. Internal sources revealed that the security content was insufficient to cover its existing product portfolio.


The digital age offers a unique opportunity for industries: the flow of data across various scenarios, activities, and fields. As FingerTec, our flagship product, initially emphasized security through irreplaceable fingerprints, we evolved in the TimeTec era into a comprehensive HR ecosystem. Similarly, FingerTec, initially focused on fingerprint-based access control systems replacing RFID cards, has transformed into a smart township ecosystem covering core aspects of property management. The extracted data is now invaluable to businesses, enabling them to analyze and enhance processes and services, thereby boosting productivity.

As the security exhibition progresses, mirroring the industry's trajectory, it is poised to enter a contraction stage. Only by capitalizing on the opportunities presented by digitization can industry players break through the deadlock and usher in the next era of brilliance.

Trend Terkini Industri Parkir Malaysia 2024

Thursday, November 09, 2023 TimeTec 0 Comments


Dalam landskap industri parkir Malaysia yang berkembang pesat, gelombang transformasi digital yang melanda 2023 terus meninggalkan kesan yang ketara. Keperluan parkir untuk pemilik bangunan telah berkembang dengan lebih canggih, dan kini dianggap sebagai komponen penting dalam ekosistem pengurusan bangunan. Melangkah ke tahun 2024, cabaran yang dihadapi oleh penyedia penyelesaian parkir konvensional akan semakin tinggi, dengan perluasan sistem parkir pintar ke dalam bangunan pintar dan perbandaran, melangkaui skop parkir tradisional.

Bagi industri parkir komersial, permintaan yang meningkat bagi kaedah tanpa tunai dan tanpa sentuhan meruntuhkan pendekatan tanpa tunai. Sistem Pengecaman Plat Kenderaan (LPR) telah mengekalkan dominasinya disebabkan oleh ketiadaan pesaing RFID, terutamanya dalam memenuhi permintaan bagi pilihan tanpa tunai dan tanpa sentuhan, suatu trend yang dijangka untuk berkembang lagi pada tahun 2024. Perluasan ini utamanya didorong oleh laporan tidak rasmi tetapi boleh dipercayai yang menunjukkan penamatan sistem RFID Touch 'n Go dalam industri parkir. Hampir tidak ada pesaing RFID potensial lain selain Touch ‘n Go kerana kesukaran pemerolehan pengguna.

 
Trend baharu yang bakal muncul ialah penggunaan eWallet Direct, yang menjanjikan pengalaman parkir yang lancar. Dengan sistem ini, yuran parkir akan dipotong terus dari eWallet pengguna semasa mereka keluar dari kemudahan parkir, menghapuskan keperluan bagi proses pembayaran fizikal. Dijangka akan lebih banyak eWallet berintegrasi dengan Sistem Pengecaman Plat Kenderaan (LPR), bagi memperluaskan ekosistem pembayaran mereka. Touch 'n Go yang dulunya dominan dalam bidang parkir tanpa tunai mungkin secara perlahan akan memberi laluan kepada penyelesaian LPR, kini dikongsi di kalangan pelbagai pembekal eWallet.

Berikut adalah pemerhatian yang lebih teliti mengenai trend parkir pada tahun 2024 dan implikasinya:

Dominasi Tanpa Tunai dan Sentuhan
Kuasa dalam era tanpa tunai sedang perlahan berpindah dari Touch ‘n Go, yang hampir menguasai tempat letak tanpa tunai di Malaysia Barat, kepada penyedia penyelesaian parkir. Perubahan ini berlaku kerana Sistem Pengecaman Plat Kenderaan (LPR) dapat berintegrasi dengan pelbagai eWallet secara lancar bagi satu tapak tempat letak, membenarkan pembekal dan pemilik tapak menentukan keutamaan potongan bayaran. Perubahan ini menekankan kepentingan pengalaman parkir yang lancar, menghapuskan keperluan pengguna untuk menurunkan tingkap kereta mereka untuk mengetap kad Touch ‘n Go atau kad bank.

Penurunan MDR dengan Sistem LPR
Dalam era parkir tanpa tunai, pemilik tempat letak tidak lagi perlu menanggung Purata Kadar Diskaun Pedagang (MDR) sebanyak 2.5% yang berkaitan dengan perkhidmatan pembayaran seperti Touch ‘n Go dan kad kredit. Pelbagai pembekal eWallet memacu persaingan dan menawarkan kadar MDR yang lebih rendah. Perubahan ini memberi faedah kepada pemilik parkir, yang boleh memaksimumkan pendapatan mereka dengan memilih eWallet yang menawarkan syarat terbaik. Sebagai contoh, pertimbangkan senario di mana eWallet A menawarkan Kadar Diskaun Pedagang (MDR) yang kompetitif, walaupun memiliki pangkalan data pengguna yang relatifnya lebih kecil dan koleksi nombor plat kereta yang terhad. Sebaliknya, eWallet B mungkin menawarkan MDR yang sedikit lebih tinggi, tetapi mempunyai pangkalan data pengguna yang besar dan koleksi nombor plat kereta yang meluas. Mengikut keutamaan pemilik parkir, pembekal penyelesaian parkir dengan Sistem Pengecaman Plat Kenderaan (LPR) boleh dengan mudah mengkonfigurasi sistem untuk mengutamakan potongan daripada eWallet yang menawarkan kadar yang lebih rendah.


Peningkatan Ketepatan LPR

Teknologi Pengecaman Plat Kenderaan telah membuat kemajuan yang besar dalam ketepatan, berkat kecerdasan buatan dan pembelajaran mesin. Kadar ketepatan telah mencapai tahap yang mengagumkan sehingga 99.8% dan lebih untuk plat kenderaan standard, mengurangkan kesilapan di titik masuk dan keluar. Selain itu, pembekal penyelesaian juga boleh meningkatkan ketepatan LPR dengan mengaplikasikan kaedah pengesahan dua atau tiga faktor. Dengan ketepatan yang terus meningkat dan populariti LPR yang meningkat, adalah mungkin bahawa pemilik kereta dengan fon nombor plat yang tidak konvensional mungkin memilih reka bentuk standard bagi mengelakkan komplikasi di tapak tempat letak kereta.
 
Pengintegrasian dengan Ekosistem Pintar
 

Hakikatnya, parkir tidak pernah menjadi aktiviti tersendiri; bagaimanapun, sistem parkir konvensional biasanya tidak mampu menghubungkan parkir dengan aktiviti lain. Namun, dengan teknologi digital dan Pengecaman Plat Kenderaan (LPR), sistem parkir semakin diintegrasikan ke dalam bangunan pintar, pekan, dan bandar-bandar. Ciri-ciri seperti 'cari kereta saya,' pemeriksaan ketersediaan, kod promosi, pengurusan pelawat, dan parkir bermusim kini diintegrasikan dengan lancar ke dalam aplikasi super berasaskan lokasi yang semakin banyak digunakan untuk pelbagai projek.

Analitik Data Parkir dan Bangunan
Data parkir, yang sebelum ini terhad kepada pemantauan kewangan dan operasi, kini digunakan untuk mendapatkan pandangan yang lebih mendalam. Analitik parkir masih dalam fasa permulaan, tetapi berpotensi untuk memberikan tindakan preskriptif dan peramalan, serta analitik kognitif. Data dari sistem parkir boleh digabungkan dengan maklumat aktiviti bangunan lain seperti pengurusan pelawat, aktiviti komersial, dan promosi untuk membolehkan keputusan perniagaan yang transformatif.

Kos Peranti yang Lebih Rendah
Era pelaburan besar-besaran dalam peralatan parkir semakin berkurangan. Kaedah pembayaran tanpa tunai telah mengurangkan pelaburan peranti dengan menghapuskan mesin bayaran auto yang dahulunya mahal, dan menggantikannya dengan kaunter pembayaran yang lebih mudah di pintu masuk dan keluar parkir. Dan trend kamera Pengecaman Plat Kenderaan (LPR) yang menggantikan kaunter pembayaran atau pun palang tempat letak di pintu masuk turut menurunkan lagi kos peranti.

Lonjakan Sistem Parkir Awan
Pada 2024, majoriti kemudahan tempat letak kereta dijangka beralih kepada sistem parkir berasaskan awan. Fleksibiliti, skalabiliti dan kecekapan sistem awan menjadi semakin menarik kepada pemilik dan pengendali tapak parkir. Evolusi penyelesaian parkir sedang beralih daripada pendekatan tertumpu peranti kepada model dipacu perisian, yang diperkasakan oleh keupayaan teknologi pengkomputeran awan.

Penskalaan Kepada Berbilang Bangunan dan Lokasi
Dengan evolusi teknologi parkir, semakin mudah untuk menguruskan berbilang bangunan dan lokasi di bawah sistem parkir yang bersatu. Trend ini memberi kuasa kepada pembangun harta tanah, pemilik bangunan, dan pengendali tapak parkir untuk menyelaraskan operasi tempat parkir mereka dan menyediakan pengalaman yang lancar kepada pengguna di pelbagai tapak tempat letak kereta.

Kesimpulannya, tahun 2024 dijangka menjadi tahun yang membawa transformasi besar bagi industri parkir di Malaysia, dengan penyelesaian tanpa tunai dan tanpa sentuhan, peningkatan ketepatan LPR, integrasi yang lebih baik dengan ekosistem pintar, dan peningkatan analitik parkir, semua menyumbang kepada pengalaman parkir yang lebih efisien dan mesra pengguna. Era perubahan ini dijangka memberi manfaat kepada pemilik parkir dan pengguna, serta mendorong industri ke arah masa depan yang lebih cerah dan terhubung.

Emerging Malaysian Parking Trends in 2024

Friday, November 03, 2023 TimeTec 0 Comments


In the rapidly evolving landscape of Malaysia's parking industry, the digital transformation wave that swept through 2023 has continued to leave a significant mark. Parking requirements for building owners have grown increasingly sophisticated, now considered a pivotal component of building management ecosystems. As we venture into 2024, the challenges faced by conventional parking solution providers are set to intensify, with the extension of smart parking systems into smart buildings and townships, transcending traditional parking scopes.

For the commercial parking industry, the surging demand for cashless and touchless methods undermines the cashless approach. The License Plate Recognition (LPR) system has maintained its dominance due to the absence of RFID contenders, especially in meeting the demand for cashless and touchless options, a trend expected to further expand in 2024. This expansion is primarily driven by unofficial but credible reports suggesting the abandonment of the Touch 'n Go RFID system in the parking industry. There are hardly any other potential RFID contenders besides Touch ‘n Go, given the challenges of user acquisition.


A new trend on the horizon is the adoption of eWallet Direct, which promises a seamless parking experience. With this system, parking fees are deducted directly from users' eWallets as they exit the parking facility, eliminating the need for physical payment processes. The expectation is that more eWallets will integrate with LPR solutions, expanding their payment ecosystems. The once-dominant Touch 'n Go in the realm of cashless parking may gradually give way to LPR solutions, now shared among multiple eWallet providers.

Here's a closer look at the parking trends in 2024 and their implications:

Cashless and Touchless Dominance
The balance of power in the cashless era is shifting slowly away from Touch ‘n Go, which almost monopolized cashless parking in West Malaysia, to parking solution providers. This shift is occurring because LPR solutions can seamlessly integrate with multiple eWallets for a single parking site, allowing providers and site owners to determine the priority of deductions. This change emphasizes the importance of seamless parking experiences, eliminating the need for users to roll down their car windows to tap their Touch ‘n Go cards or bank cards.

Lower MDR with LPR System
In the cashless parking era, parking owners no longer need to bear the averagely 2.5% Merchant Discount Rates (MDR) associated with payment services such as Touch ‘n Go and credit card. Multiple eWallet providers are driving competition and offering lower MDR rates. This shift benefits parking owners, who can maximize their income by choosing the eWallet with the best terms. For instance, consider the scenario where eWallet A offers a competitive Merchant Discount Rate (MDR), despite having a relatively smaller user base and a more limited collection of registered car plate numbers. In contrast, eWallet B may present a slightly higher MDR, but it boasts a substantial user base and an extensive pool of registered car plate numbers. In response to the preferences of parking owners, the License Plate Recognition (LPR) parking solution provider can readily configure the system to prioritize deductions from the eWallet offering the lower rate.


Enhanced LPR Accuracy

License Plate Recognition technology has made substantial strides in accuracy, thanks to AI and machine learning. The accuracy rates have reached impressive levels up to 99.8% and above for standard car plates, reducing errors at entry and exit points. Besides, solution providers also can enhance the LPR accuracy by applying two or three factors authentication method.  As accuracy continues to improve and LPR gaining the popularity, it's likely that car owners with unconventional license plate fonts may opt for more standard designs to avoid complications at the parking sites.

Integration with Smart Ecosystem
 

In reality, parking is never a standalone activity; however, conventional parking systems are usually incapable of associating parking with other activities. Thanks to digital technology and License Plate Recognition (LPR), parking systems are increasingly being integrated into smart buildings, townships, and cities. Features such as 'find my car,' availability checks, promo codes, visitor management, and season parking are now seamlessly integrated into emerging location-based super apps for an increasing number of projects.

Parking and Building Data Analytics
Parking data, once confined to financial and operational monitoring, is now being harnessed for more profound insights. Parking analytics is in its infancy, but the potential for prescriptive and predictive actions, as well as cognitive analytics, is emerging. Data from parking systems can be combined with other building activity information such as visitor management, commercial and promotion activities to enable transformative business decisions.

Reduced Hardware Costs
The era of significant hardware investments in parking equipment is dwindling. Cashless payment methods have driven down the hardware investment by eliminating the once costly auto payment machines, replacing them with simpler payment kiosks at the parking entrances and exits. And the trend of License Plate Recognition (LPR) cameras replacing the payment kiosks or even parking barrier at the entrances is further driving down hardware costs.

The Ascendance of Cloud Parking Systems
In 2024, the majority of parking facilities are expected to transition to cloud-based parking systems. The flexibility, scalability, and efficiency of cloud systems are becoming increasingly attractive to both parking owners and operators. The evolution of parking solutions is shifting from a hardware-centric approach to a software-driven model, empowered by the capabilities of cloud computing technology.

Scaling to Multiple Buildings and Locations
As parking technology evolves, it is becoming easier to manage multiple buildings and locations under a unified parking system. This trend is empowering property developers, building owners and parking operators to streamline their parking operations and provide a seamless experience to users across various parking sites.

In conclusion, 2024 is poised to be a transformative year for the Malaysian parking industry, with cashless and touchless solutions, improved LPR accuracy, enhanced integration with smart ecosystems, and the rise of parking analytics, all contributing to a more efficient and user-friendly parking experience. This era of change promises to benefit both parking owners and users, as well as propel the industry towards a brighter and more connected future.

2024年马来西亚停车业新趋势

Friday, November 03, 2023 TimeTec 0 Comments


在马来西亚停车业迅速演变的背景下,2023年横扫而过的数字化转型浪潮仍然留下了深刻的印记。建筑物业主对停车需求变得日益复杂,现在被视为建筑管理生态系统的关键组成部分。当我们步入2024年,传统停车解决方案提供商所面临的挑战预计将加剧,智能停车系统将扩展到智能建筑和城镇,超越传统停车范围。

对于商业停车业来说,无现金和无接触方式的双需求不断增加,削弱了单需求的无现金停车系统的势力。由于缺乏Touch ‘n Go RFID在停车领域的竞争,车牌识别(LPR)系统在满足无现金及无接触方面将一枝独秀,这一趋势预计将在2024年进一步扩展。这种扩展主要是因为有可靠消息透露Touch 'n Go将放弃在停车领域使用RFID系统的发展。除了Touch 'n Go RFID作为强有力的无现金及无接触双需求主要竞逐者之外,由于用户获取(user acquisition)的难度,几乎没有其他潜在的RFID竞争者。


在车牌识别的带动底下, 捆绑电子钱包的 eWallet Direct 会日渐成为新潮流,以达到无缝的停车体验。在新的eWallet Direct车牌识别方式中,停车费将直接从用户的电子钱包中自动扣除,无需经过其他繁琐的支付流程。预期会有更多的电子钱包将与LPR解决方案集成,扩展其支付生态系统。曾经在西马半岛是无现金停车领域霸主的Touch 'n Go的势力预料会进一步削弱,新的局面是多角竞逐的LPR解决方案供应商,和多个电子钱包提供商,垄断的局面迟早会过去。

以下是2024年停车趋势及其影响的更详细信息:

无现金和无接触方式的持续扩散
无现金及无接触是车主梦寐以求的完美停车体验,因为它可以消除车主摇下车窗来刷Touch ‘n Go卡及银行卡的麻烦。垄断西马无现金停车方案的Touch 'n Go的权力正向停车解决方案提供商转移。这种权力结构的变化是由于LPR解决方案可以轻易的与多个电子钱包无缝集成,并与停车场拥有者商定电子钱包扣除的优先级。

使用LPR系统降低MDR
在车牌识别或LPR主导的无现金无接触停车时代,停车场业主在商户折扣率(MDR)有望进一步降低。在无现金停车时代,由于Touch ‘n Go的主宰,停车业主必须缴付几乎无可商议的2.5%的MDR。现在,多个电子钱包提供商形成的竞争,促使MDR进一步降低。这种变化将使停车业主受益,他们可以通过选择条款和MDR最低的电子钱包来最大化他们的收入。例如,停车业者可以同时在车牌识别系统的收费端接上两个电子钱包。即便电子钱包A用户较少车牌资料库低,但好处是MDR较低;而电子钱包B用户多和车牌资料库较大,坏处是MDR较高。但是停车系统可以根据停车业主的偏好让车牌识别(LPR)停车解决方案提供商设置优先级,即先从提供较低费率的电子钱包A扣除停车费,如果车主没有该电子钱包,才从电子钱包B扣除费用。


改进的LPR准确性

由于人工智能和机器学习,车牌识别技术在准确性方面取得了重大进展。标准车牌的准确率已经达到了99.8%甚至更高,降低了入口和出口点的错误。而且系统解决方案业可以引入双因素或三因素验证的方法来提高准确率。随着准确性的不断提高和LPR的普及,为了免除不必要在停车场误读车牌而引起的不必要麻烦,相信一些车主会舍弃非标准的车牌,而有助于车牌识别作为停车方法的推进。
 
与智能生态系统的集成
 

事实上,停车从来都不是一个独立的活动;然而,传统停车系统通常无法将停车与其他活动相关联。由于数字技术和车牌识别(LPR),停车系统越来越多地集成到智能建筑、城镇和城市中。像找车、空车位征询、促销码、访客管理和月季停车等功能现在都已经无缝集成到越来越多项目的新兴基于位置的超级应用程序中。

停车和建筑数据分析
以前仅用于财务和运营监控的停车数据现在被用于更深入的洞察。停车数据分析处于起步阶段,但出现了处方(Prescriptive Analysis)和预测行动(Predictive Analysis)以及认知分析(Cognitive Analysis)的潜力。停车系统的数据可以与其他建筑活动信息相结合,如访客管理、商业和促销活动,以实现变革性的业务决策。

降低硬件成本 
停车设备中的硬件投资在逐年减少。从前停车系统需要购买的动辄上百千的自动支付机器在无现金停车系统的流行之后被淘汰,取而代之的是停车入口和出口处的简化支付亭,这是科技进步降低了硬件的投资。此外,车牌识别(LPR)摄像头取代了支付亭甚至停车场入口处的车道闸,进一步降低了硬件成本。

云停车系统的崭露头角
停车设备的软件投资则会增加。在2024年,预计将有大多数停车设施过渡到基于云的停车系统。云系统的灵活性、可伸缩性和效率对停车业主和运营商越来越具吸引力。停车解决方案的演进正在从以硬件为中心的方法转向以云计算技术推动的软件驱动模式。

扩展到多个建筑物和停车场地点
随着停车技术的发展,以前物业和停车业主面对多栋楼宇和不同地点的停车场在管理上的棘手问题, 现在在智能停车系统低下可以统一管理,以及轻松切换不同停车场。这一趋势赋予房地产开发商、建筑物所有者和停车运营商更多权力,使他们能够优化他们的停车运营并为不同的停车场提供无缝的体验。

总之,2024年对马来西亚停车业来说将是一个变革性的一年,无现金和无接触解决方案、改进的LPR准确性、更好的智能生态系统集成以及停车分析的崛起,所有这些都有助于实现更高效和用户友好的停车体验。这一变革时代将有望使停车业主和用户受益,并推动该行业走向更加光明和生态环境连接的未来。
