Encouraging Manufacturing, Industrial and Systems (MIS) engineering stakeholders to better understand the practical applications of the MIS Engineering in the industry is one of the missions of MIS Division of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE). Over the years, MIS Division has organized various activities for the engineering industries such as project competitions, technical visits, seminars and symposiums.
In this year, we are going to run the HKIE MIS Industry Award 2021 with the aim to recognize the excellent achievements of relevant industries in Hong Kong in enhancing their manufacturing productivity, product quality and innovation in real industrial context.
Three Award Categories
Smart Manufacturing Award
This award aims to recognize applicants who are applying fully-integrated and collaborative manufacturing systems that can respond in real time to meet changing demands and conditions in the factory, supply chain network needs and customer needs.
Reindustrialisation Award
This award aims to recognize applicants who are applying reindustrialization to reduce labour shortage associated with the labour intensive industries and make the best use of land that produce high value-added, service-oriented products.
Innovation Award
This award aims to recognize applicants who are applying outstanding innovation and creative design in new products or systems which exploit new market and exceed customer expectations.
Judgement criteria
Assessment is based on the submissions whether they match with the particular award criteria and demonstrate their evolution of MIS project from pain point analysis, in-depth improvement processes, challenges and difficulties of implementation; significant achievements and impacts to other manufacturing industries.
For details, please read the following judgement criteria in each award category:
Smart Manufacturing Award
Applicant must demonstrate how to employ at least one of the following core smart manufacturing elements (such as Artificial intelligence, Blockchain in manufacturing, Industrial internet of things, Robotics, Condition monitoring and Cyber security) to execute a real-time processing among humans, machines, products and production lines under dynamic customer needs.
Applicant must illustrate which part(s) of research and development (R&D) processes (e.g. planning, design, quality inspection, production, distribution) have/has been implemented in the above mentioned smart manufacturing elements, and specify the particular enhancement(s) in terms of product / process reliability, machinery predictive maintenance, product quality, productivity, lead time and others.
Reindustrialization Award
Applicant must illustrate how to apply a significant structural transformation in manufacturing activities and products from former traditional industry to new industry.
Applicant must specify the evolution processes from building advanced manufacturing infrastructures and facilities, applying emerging technologies to nurturing digital talents in manufacturing plants in order to produce high value-added or service-oriented products.
Innovation Award
Applicant must explain how to generate an innovative idea or solution on a new product or processes in manufacturing R&D cycle.
Applicant must interpret any relevant engineering theories being deployed to tackle any problems come with the innovative or creative ideas.
