The smart glasses can enable AI-powered visual inspection, voice-activated commands, step-by-step on-screen procedures and dynamic content display to reduce the time needed for firefighters to inspect their equipment and enhance the monitoring of equipment inventory. Data from the inspections will flow into a centralised dashboard to capture defects and provide status updates of equipment in real-time, raising SCDF’s operational readiness to respond to emergencies.
The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) will trial the use of artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and 5G technologies to enhance its operational readiness.
The technologies will power smart glasses that will be test-bedded in SCDF’s Smart Fire Station in Punggol on its latest-generation fire emergency vehicles over two years.
