A new development in livestock management technology is underway with the creation of the K-Smart Livestock Farm platform. This initiative comes from two Korean companies, M3SEN and Intflow, who showcased their advanced solutions at the 2024 EuroTier exhibition in Germany. M3SEN focuses on total digital transformation through AI and robotics, while Intflow has developed 'EdgeFarm', a non-contact livestock healthcare solution that monitors pigs' health and behavior through video analysis.

The K-Smart Livestock Farm project aims to create a comprehensive AI management system for pig farming, utilizing big data from the entire farming cycle including breeding, weaning, and fattening. This project, backed by several governmental ministries, is expected to span three years, from 2025 to 2027. Intflow's CEO, Jeon Gwang-myeong, emphasized that integrating data throughout pig farming will lead to significant advancements in decision-making and could enhance the competitiveness of South Korean exports.

Additionally, Intflow's previous projects have demonstrated success in monitoring and automating pig farming processes, providing valuable insights into livestock health and management. Their solution is already in use across multiple domestic farms and in ten countries, showcasing its global reach. Emtrisen also contributes by integrating various technologies for real-time monitoring of sows and optimizing farming conditions. The developments are framed as crucial for sustainable agriculture and enhancing global competitiveness in the industry.

10H Discussion: Smart payment solutions for modern transportation

Bao Dien Tu | Local Language | News | May 21, 2025 | UndeterminedUndetermined

In recent years, the Vietnamese Government has focused on transforming the public transport sector into a smart transport system through various policies and strategies. A significant initiative is the introduction of an automatic ticket card system, particularly for the Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien metro line 01 in Ho Chi Minh City. This system allows passengers to use various ticketing options like monthly tickets, bank cards, and e-wallets, streamlining the boarding process and reducing congestion at ticket counters and gates.

The automatic ticket card system is part of a broader effort to enhance user experience and cut operational costs within traffic management. While metro services are the primary focus, other public transport projects, including bus services and parking facilities, are also exploring similar ticketing technologies. However, the implementation of this system has not yet been widely adopted, limiting its benefits for passengers and operators alike.

To address these challenges and discuss strategies for the ticket card system's expansion, a seminar titled "Smart payment solutions for modern transport" is organized by the Government Electronic Information Portal. Scheduled for May 20 at 10:00, the event will feature experts and industry leaders who will analyze the current state and future directions of smart payment systems in public transport. Key topics will include the benefits, costs, and necessary coordination among relevant ministries and agencies to promote the use of these ticket systems effectively.

Night light data indicates that from 2014 to 2023, the brightness and coverage of urban areas in Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei are expanding, reflecting a developing urban agglomeration. The recent Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Coordinated Development Forum at Nankai University highlighted that the coordinated development of these regions has entered a new phase characterized by high-quality integration of industries, co-construction, and sharing of resources. The Nankai Index Report for 2025 revealed that the regional index for coordinated development increased from 0.38 in 2018 to 0.58 in 2023, showing a shift towards more profound collaboration.

From 2016 to 2024, policy coordination initially focused on pollution control but has transitioned to areas like transportation and innovative partnerships. Significant reductions in PM2.5 levels have been reported, with Beijing, Tianjin, and Hebei seeing decreases of 65.9%, 60.2%, and 63.75% respectively since 2013. This indicates a successful execution of ecological policies, suggesting movement towards dual approaches of stock transfer and incremental growth in industry.

Experts emphasize the necessity for enhancing the distribution of technological innovation resources to eliminate disparities among the regions. Suggestions include increasing innovation investments and optimizing coordinated development patterns to form an "innovation triangle." The overarching aim remains creating a world-class urban agglomeration centered on Beijing while improving collaborative mechanisms to elevate regional innovation and coordination further in the upcoming decade.
