The collaborative efforts of HWACom and LED Vision lay the groundwork for the future of intelligent transportation in Malaysia. The integration of advanced traffic control, real-time data analysis, and adaptive strategies is anticipated to revolutionize urban mobility. Moreover, upcoming applications such as V2X based solutions hold the promise of enhancing emergency response capabilities, prioritizing critical vehicles like smart ambulances.

1. To meet the specific requirements of the port, we had to customize the light fitting brackets for LED Flood Lights and the LED High Mast Light Fitting. Initially, the brackets were made of mild steel, and the mounting holes were at different locations. However, this port requested that stainless steel brackets be painted with epoxy paint for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. This customization involved sourcing stainless steel materials, applying epoxy paint, and adjusting screw holes to ensure that the brackets met Port’s stringent standards. This solution successfully fulfilled Port’s requirements, reducing installation time and effort while ensuring a seamless fit for the lighting fixtures.

2. Achieving certain certifications proved challenging. The IEC 62722, IEC 62717, and Neutral Salt Spray Test require 1000 hours to complete, making it a time-consuming process. Certifications like IK09 and IP66 presented challenges as the required quality was niche, making it difficult to find suitable suppliers. Moreover, the customization of components solely for our project resulted in higher costs.

3. Unforeseen factors, such as adverse weather conditions, the allocation of the port time slots prioritizing ship and container transportation, and festivals, resulted in a delay. The occurrence of festivals added to the challenges, as it affected manpower availability and work schedules. We had to adapt to these circumstances by temporarily suspending work, storing tools and equipment, and resuming installation after the festival period, which further contributed to the overall project timeline.

4. Various installation challenges were encountered during the project:

• QC & RTG :
  The light fittings at the QC and RTG are located at an elevated height of above 15m. Thus, to ensure the safety of our workers, our team undergoes comprehensive training such as NIOSH and are taught to strictly adheres to safety protocols especially those outlined in the “Yellow Book”. By following these guidelines and implementing meticulous planning, we prioritize the well-being of our workers and maintain a safe working environment through- out the installation process.

• High Bay :
  The use of an electrical boom lift was necessary for installation, as this is the requirement posted by the Pot. However, due to the layout of the warehouse, certain areas were inaccessible using this method, requiring alternative solutions to be devised

• High Mast:
  Adjusting the angle of the high mast lighting to meet the required lux level of 30 poses challenges, demanding precise alignment, coordination, and careful calibration of the lighting fixtures. Furthermore, the busy activities at the wharf and yard provide an obstruction to completing the work.
• Street Light:
  Power supply issues at this port added complexity to the installation and testing process, requiring additional troubleshooting and coordination with port personnel.

5. The port’s strict documentation requirements presented an additional challenge. Extensive attention to detail and thorough documentation were necessary to meet their stringent standards and ensure compliance throughout the project.

LED Vision Sdn Bhd successfully supplied, delivered, installed, tested, and commissioned LED lights for quay cranes (QC), rubber-tired cranes (RTG), high masts, high bays, and street lights for the port despite the challenges. The upgraded lighting infrastructure has had a positive impact, increasing safety, visibility, and productivity, resulting in client satisfaction. Future collaborations and initiatives are anticipated for further enhancements.
