Recently, AI+Power 2026, a major commercial AI application exhibition in Hong Kong, was held in the city. Guardforce, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Security Technology Co., Ltd., showcased a range of innovative solutions integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) at the event, comprehensively demonstrating the company’s cutting-edge technological achievements in environmental facility management, spatial security protection, and elderly health care. During the exhibition, Guardforce representative Steven Leung gave an exclusive interview to the media, sharing the application scenarios and R&D concepts behind these technologies.
 

 

 

 

In the field of environmental protection and public facility management, Guardforce exhibited its AI-powered smart waste sorting and recycling bins. Leveraging mature AI image recognition technology, this device can automatically sort waste into four major categories—plastic, glass, metal, and paper—with an overall recognition accuracy exceeding 90%. The device’s recognition precision is so high that it can even distinguish between clean and soiled tissues, significantly improving the purity of recyclables and the efficiency of subsequent processing. It is suitable for a variety of settings, including communities, industrial parks, and public buildings.

 

 

 

 

To address safety needs in private spaces such as restrooms, Weian has launched a high-privacy, multi-functional radar sensing monitoring system. Compared to traditional infrared devices that are prone to environmental interference, this radar sensing system operates stably, monitors with precision, and fully protects user privacy.

 

 

The system can be installed on the ceiling to cover an area of approximately 100 square feet. It can assess the status of individuals within the space and their duration of stay in real time, while accurately detecting emergencies such as falls or loss of consciousness. The system supports networked alerts; once an emergency is detected, it can immediately send alerts to caregivers and family members via online platforms, mobile apps, WhatsApp, and other channels. Liang Taikang explained that the system is easy to install and requires no complex environmental configuration. It has already been deployed in various locations across Hong Kong, including shopping malls and schools.

 

 

 

Targeting aging-friendly technology and healthcare scenarios, Wai On highlighted its contactless radar sleep and vital signs monitor. With a sleek design, the device can be placed at the bedside or under the bed frame. It accurately collects core vital data—such as heart rate and respiratory rate—without requiring seniors to wear wristbands or use smart mattresses or other wearable devices. This addresses pain points associated with traditional smartwatches, such as frequent battery drain, and smart mattresses, which lose sensitivity over time.

 

 

Equipped with intelligent noise-cancellation and machine learning algorithms, the product automatically filters out environmental noise—such as the hum of a fan—to accurately analyze the user’s sleep quality. Additionally, the system leverages big data to establish a personalized health baseline for each user. Should it detect abnormal fluctuations in physiological data, it immediately triggers an alert, prompting caregivers to accompany the elderly individual to seek medical attention promptly. According to clinical data, the device’s health risk warning accuracy reaches 80%, effectively supporting early disease screening and intervention.

 

 

Furthermore, the device’s hardware design fully addresses safety requirements in specialized settings: it features a concealed, tamper-resistant housing suitable for hospitals or high-security facilities. Additionally, its operational radiation levels are significantly lower than those of standard Wi-Fi and smartphones, ensuring safe and reliable 24/7 monitoring.

 

 

From high-precision smart waste sorting equipment to contactless health monitoring systems for the elderly, Hong Kong Wai On actively introduces and implements cutting-edge technologies to build a more comprehensive support system for Hong Kong’s IoT infrastructure and home-based elderly care services. In the future, the company will continue to deepen its expertise in AI+IoT security solutions, providing more comprehensive technical support for home-based elderly care and smart city development, and driving more mature, reliable, and user-friendly security technology products into the public’s daily lives.
