Revolutionizing Logistics by Slashing Spoilage; Showcasing Next-Gen Innovation and the Power of Boarding Education

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 May 2026 – Aberdeen Technical School (ATS) officially announced that its students’ innovative cold chain intelligent monitoring system, “Eye of the Fresh Environment,” was officially granted a Hong Kong patent as published in the Hong Kong Intellectual Property Journal in April 2026. The project previously secured the Overall Grand Championship at the “Innovate and Lead – The New Wave Logistics Competition”, prevailing over 40 teams from Hong Kong and Macau.

Aberdeen Technical School Students’ Cold Chain Monitoring System “Eye of the Fresh Environment” Granted Patent

Innovative Organic Semiconductor Technology: 48-Hour Spoilage Early Warning

Addressing the global crisis where 1.3 billion tons of fresh food are wasted annually due to cold chain failures, the ATS student team developed the “Eye of the Fresh Environment” system. Utilizing advanced organic semiconductor technology, the team created micro-sensors that feature low cost and zero heat generation to monitor temperature, humidity, and gas concentrations in real-time.

Combined with AI cloud analysis, the system can provide an early warning of food spoilage up to 48 hours in advance, automatically notifying distributors. Data indicates the system effectively helps enterprises reduce fresh produce spoilage rates from 20% to below 5%. This results in a reduction of 15 tons of waste per 100 tons of produce and a revenue increase exceeding HKD 450,000, providing robust support for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals in the logistics industry.

Originating from Real-Life Observation; Addressing Market Gaps

The development team included students Wong Tim Shing (F.2), Chan Lai Him, Lau Ho Yin, and Pang Wai Chiu (F.4). The inspiration for the project came from observing large amounts of spoiled fruits and vegetables during transportation. They identified that existing market systems are often designed for large-scale industrial use, making them expensive, bulky, and lacking flexibility.

Team member Lau Ho Yin noted that “Eye of the Fresh Environment” features a low-cost modular design and a real-time local warning mechanism. It is specifically optimized for small-to-medium-sized transport scenarios and startup teams, filling a significant market gap. Pang Wai Chiu added that using organic semiconductors makes the monitors both affordable and energy-efficient.

Boarding Life Cultivating Excellence: “Learning to Study, Learning to Be”

The success of this patented invention reflects the unique outcomes of Aberdeen Technical School’s boarding education. The school noted that students took the initiative to form teams during the 2025 summer break, integrating school-based innovation and logistics projects into real-life research and development. This demonstrates a spirit of self-directed learning, innovative courage, and the pursuit of excellence.

In their reflections, students highlighted how boarding life aided the development process. By living together, they learned teamwork, responsibility, and time management. Lau Ho Yin shared that living away from home required self-discipline in scheduling and cutting down on unproductive phone usage, allowing more focus on critical thinking and social observation.

Published

on

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 21 May 2026 – Expereo, the world-leading Managed Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) provider, announced it has been awarded an EcoVadis Silver Rating ranking in the 92nd percentile and placing among the top 15% of its industry category this year. This reflects a 10-point improvement from its previous Bronze rating, strengthening the company’s position in sustainable supply chain performance, ESG governance and responsible business practices.

The company recorded gains across all four EcoVadis assessment pillars: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement. The strongest improvements came in Environment, up 10 points, and Labour and Human Rights, which rose 19 points year-on-year, with the latter independently validated by Expereo’s Great Place to Work UAE Certification for 2026 and Singapore Employee Experience of the Year win at the Asian Experience Awards 2025.

Commenting on the recognition, Ben Elms CEO Expereo, said, “We are incredibly proud of this achievement. Moving from a Bronze to a Silver rating in just a year reflects the progress our teams have made in embedding sustainability across our operations, procurement, and people practices.

We have reduced material consumption, minimised waste, and rolled out initiatives such as the Cisco Refurbish Project, while strengthening risk assessments and introducing biannual supplier sustainability evaluations. These efforts give our customers confidence that they are working with a company aligned with their values and ethical business standards. This milestone is a testament to our collective commitment to driving meaningful and lasting impact, and we look forward to building on this momentum in the year ahead.”

Looking ahead, Expereo plans to expand the use of refurbished equipment, further align cloud hosting and supplier selection with lower-carbon criteria, and deepen transparency across its value chain.

This builds on its FY25 sustainability strategy anchored around three core pillars:

Environment: building a rigorous CO₂ inventory and embedding circular economy practices across its operations,

People: investing in employee health, wellbeing and a more inclusive workplace culture across its global teams,

Green procurement policy: implementing strong sustainability criteria for Data Centre partnership focused on clean energy, prioritizing the procurement of recycled customer equipment and extending CPE lifecycle in a safe manner.

These initiatives are designed to support customer and partner expectations for more resilient, transparent and sustainable digital infrastructure. By combining supplier governance, circular economy practices and improved carbon accounting, Expereo is building a more data-driven foundation for future ESG performance and reporting.
