ACES Awards returns with velour after two-year hiatus
93 winners from 26 categories celebrated at the Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability Awards (ACES) KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A 50-year story centering on sustainability to launch their first fleet of Blue Bird electric taxis in Indonesia made waves at the Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability Awards (ACES) this year. Winners of the ACES Awards 2022. The 9th edition of The Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability Awards concluded with great success, on the 18th of November 2022, at the JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur. Over 470 submission were received, of which 93 were selected as winners across several award categories. PT Blue Bird TBK (Blue Bird Group) President Director Dr. Noni Purnomo said she owed her success to making sustainability at the forefront of her company's operations and community programs. "Since the very beginning our vision is to give prosperity for all stakeholders and that means we have to be sustainable to be sustainable per se," said Purnomo or Ibu Noni as she is fondly known who won the Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Award at the ACES 2022. "So since the very beginning we always embed (sustainability) in our policies, in our business processes, everything we do including doing our maintenance to make sure every single vehicle is in prime condition when they're doing their operations to launching the first fleet of electric taxis in 2019 in Indonesia. "And we strongly believe by focusing on sustainability, not just electric taxis and so forth, but also on how we can engage with the community – we launched the women empowerment program, we gave scholarships to the children of our drivers, all of those things really contributed to the growth of our businesses for 50 years now." Indonesia is one of the 17 nations which had their winning businesses and individuals present at ACES 2022 – all of whom were greeted by the thunderous drumming of Malaysia's Hands Percussion and the classical embodiment of the Selangor Philharmonic Orchestra. This year was especially significant for its 470 nominees, 159 finalists and 93 winners across 26 various categories as the ACES gala dinner is back after a two-year physical hiatus. "Though many restrictions on travel have been lifted, international and cross-border movement is still a little more challenging than it used to be in the pre-Covid days. "It is therefore very heartening to see the number of foreign winners who consider their win at ACES 2022 to be significant enough for them to travel to Malaysia. It is therefore imperative for us, as the organizers, to give our winners a night to truly remember," said MORS Group Chief Executive Officer Shanggari Balakrishnan. She also said the awards proved that true value does not diminish over time as the turnout underscores the eagerness of participants to reconnect, and share learnings gleaned from their individual trials during the pandemic. No rush to award wins at ACES Held at the JW Marriott Hotel on November 18, it was the first time that the ACES has been hosted in Kuala Lumpur during its nine-year history, despite it being birthed in Malaysia by the MORS Group. The ninth edition of the ACES saw 62 winners attending the award ceremony which recognised their services and achievements at both large and small businesses as well as their contributions to communities and the world. "ACES awards has always been special due to its nationalistic element reflected by the very presence of companies and individuals from nations in the Asia Pacific, all bringing with them their colourful and distinctive culture, costumes and languages." "There is also an exciting blend of new and established businesses which distinguished themselves by the way their organizations are run, and the leadership approaches undertaken by the management of those corporations," said Balakrishnan who was flanked by Chairman of the ACES Awards Hemant K Batra and the jury panel Dr. Jayanthi Desan and Luis Bueno Nieto. Batra noted that the ACES jury did not rush to award wins to the nominees despite 2022 being the "back to face-to-face" year. "If truth be told, there were some award categories which did not have winners, simply because the jury was unwilling to lower its exacting judging standards. We need to uphold certain standards and requirements, and as such we preferred to withhold certain awards instead of bestowing them to nominees who had yet to hit all marks," said Batra. All award recipients fulfilled a stringent evaluation and judging process spanning over nine months which required various documentation submission and finalist interviews. The main category winners included Equinix, Hong Kong for Asia's Most Sustainable Company of the Year, Dr. Andrew L.

IR proximity sensors and gesture detection enable users to select a desired menu with just one touch. Bring your finger near the screen to automatically open the pop-up menu to maximize user convenience. Detection algorithm and automatic monitor calibration boosts accuracy, with greater usability in larger screens. Mobis introduces a series of key technologies for the next-generation infotainment system, targeting the future IVI market. SEOUL, South Korea, Nov. 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new technology that allows a user to open frequently-used menus just by moving the hand near the automotive displays and to select a menu with a gesture and a tap. This is expected to minimize manipulations and facilitate safe driving by preventing gaze dispersion, enabling more convenient use of in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system. On November 17, Hyundai Mobis (KRX: 012330) announced that it has developed Quick Menu Selection, the world's first proximity detection pop-up display. Also known as Menu Pre Information technology, it applies a proximity sensor on in-vehicle displays to minimize cumbersome screen manipulations allowing the user to select frequently-used menus effortlessly. Quick Menu Selection automatically opens pop-up menus that are often used when a user's hands are in close proximity to the screen. By bringing the hand close to the screen, it activates the proximity sensor that is integrated with the display. Users can also use a simple swipe gesture to access the desired menu. Hyundai Mobis developed these technologies to enhance convenience and safety of driving. This is the first use case in the world to deploy infrared ray (IR) sensors, which have been widely used in a variety of products, into in-vehicle position sensing. Hyundai Mobis Quick Menu Selection uses time difference light sensing technology to minimize the number of sensors required, and applies automatic calibration (monitor calibration) technology based on a detection algorithm that improves accuracy in the detection of hand gestures and the direction of movement. To make it more intuitive and easier for users, Quick Menu Selection is also combined with responsive UX and UI solutions, which detect the distance and position of objects. Based on the improved gesture system, Quick Menu Selection significantly simplifies the vexing manipulation process of having to tap on touchscreens multiple times. Whereas before, touchscreen displays were unable to sense the user's intention before the user tapped on the desired menu, Quick Menu Selection allows for the application of interfaces for various user scenarios depending on the direction of movement and hand position. Hyundai Mobis is working hard to deliver an infotainment portfolio that can be used in numerous ways in vehicles, with Quick Menu Selection being developed as an extension of the endeavor. The company is converging diverse interface and design element technologies and applying them in automotive interior and exterior components for expanded applications. Building on its exceptional software technology that is capable of responding flexibly to different market demands, Hyundai Mobis has secured efficient, stable hardware capabilities that give the company a competitive advantage in the IVI system over competition. Last month, Hyundai Mobis introduced the next-generation IVI platform in collaboration with Luxoft, a multinational software company, at the International Suppliers Fair (IZB) hosted by Volkswagen. The Mobis Infotainment System (MIS), co-developed by the two companies, is a future platform that controls six screens comprised of a digital cluster, AR-HUD, the central stack display (CSD), and three passenger displays. MIS was designed to provide user-friendly services, such as a virtual assistant and personalized content based on AI. Going forward, Hyundai Mobis plans to internalize and advance its R&D technologies, while expanding software partnerships with global automakers to reinforce its competitiveness. Quick Menu Selection, the world’s first proximity detection display technology developed by Hyundai Mobis. When a user’s hand comes near the screen, frequently-used menus automatically pop up, allowing users to make selections with a single touch.
