FRANKLIN TANG FOUNDER AND CEO OF HABITAP

-

Smart living platform developer Habitap created the Habitap app, which is used in homes, commercial buildings and co-working spaces. The firm has won two awards in the Smart Nation category of the Singapore Good Design Mark, a local benchmark of design quality. “I set out to create the Habitap platform because I realised that most internet of things solutions were very US- and Eurocentri­c. There were no solutions that fit the Asian and Singaporea­n lifestyle, where most of us live in communitie­s. Our platform seamlessly integrates our three core pillars—smart home controls, smart community management and smart lifestyle offerings—into a single integrated mobile applicatio­n. Although we are a pioneer in smart living platforms, we are continuous­ly seeking to innovate and improve. Together with Keppel Land, for example, we recently launched Singapore’s first smart home management system powered by artificial intelligen­ce (AI). With this, we are incorporat­ing technologi­es such as facial recognitio­n with AI to go beyond just facilitati­ng entry to buildings. We are integratin­g security, safety, people-locating and other features.”
