Univers, a Singapore-based leader in AI and IoT for energy, has partnered with SBS Transit, the city-state’s foremost public transport operator, to develop the SBS Transit Energy and Operations AI Platform. This strategic collaboration aims to revolutionise energy and operations management across SBS Transit’s bus and rail facilities.
The AI-driven platform will enable SBS Transit to connect and analyse data, enhancing asset monitoring, control, and maintenance. This initiative is expected to significantly boost operational and energy efficiency, aligning with Singapore’s broader decarbonisation goals under the Green Plan 2030.
Chun Yin Mak, Global Senior Vice President of Univers, stated, “This collaboration builds on our ongoing efforts to empower enterprises globally with AI and IoT capabilities. As a Singapore-headquartered company, we’re proud to work with SBS Transit on a multi-year AI-driven transformation of energy and operations.”
The partnership will also benefit from Univers’ Global Impact AI Lab, which aims to accelerate innovations in the transport sector. This lab will foster AI-driven solutions that can be scaled beyond Singapore, potentially impacting global public transport systems.
SBS Transit, with over 50 years of experience, operates around 200 bus services and several rail lines, including the North East MRT Line and the Downtown Line. The company’s network facilitates more than 3.5 million passenger trips daily, underscoring the potential impact of this AI platform on Singapore’s public transport efficiency.
This collaboration marks a significant step towards sustainable public transport solutions, with potential implications for global transport systems.
