The COVID-19 pandemic has made it more challenging for property developers, with decreased footfall traffic across many malls and office sites as more consumers turn to shopping online amid safe distancing measures and personal safety concerns. <\/span>As a result, many retail and property owners have had to rethink their plans in creating safer and better customer experiences for shoppers and office workers to be assured <span id=\"spanHghlt6507\">of<\/span> peace of mind to return to the malls and offices.<\/p>\n<div class=\"PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference\" id=\"DivAssetPlaceHolder7282\">\n<div id=\"jwplayer_1\">        jwplayer.key=&#8221;3Fznr2BGJZtpwZmA+81lm048ks6+0NjLXyDdsO2YkfE=&#8221;         <\/p>\n<div id=\"myplayer1\">      &#160;     <\/div>\n<p>        jwplayer(&#8216;myplayer1&#8217;).setup({file: &#8216;https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/1583053\/20210728_Lendlease_X_Certis_Virtual_Media_Showcase_FINAL.mp4&#8217;, image: &#8216;http:\/\/www.prnasia.com\/video_capture\/3450215_AE50215_1.jpg&#8217;, autostart:&#8217;false&#8217;, aspectratio: &#8217;16:9&#8242;, stretching : &#8216;fill&#8217;, width: &#8216;600&#8217;, height: &#8216;338&#8217;});   <\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<div class=\"PRN_ImbeddedAssetReference\" id=\"DivAssetPlaceHolder1548\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/1582119\/20210707_Certis_CCH9076_High_Res.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mma.prnasia.com\/media2\/1582119\/20210707_certis_cch9076_high_res.jpg?p=medium600\" title=\"Certis\u2019 Security+ solution enables a safer and smarter shopping experience for customers at PLQ\" alt=\"Certis\u2019 Security+ solution enables a safer and smarter shopping experience for customers at PLQ\" \/><\/a><br \/><span>Certis\u2019 Security+ solution enables a safer and smarter shopping experience for customers at PLQ<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#160;<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"spanHghltff0a\">Shoppers and visitors who still need to shop physically can do so with greater peace of mind now, with Security+ bringing about enhanced and safe experiences at Paya Lebar Quarter (PLQ) comprising PLQ 1, 2, 3 and Mall.<\/span> Certis, <span class=\"xn-location\">Asia&#8217;s<\/span> leading integrated security services provider, announced today that it is delivering Security+, an integrated solution comprising security, technology, and customer service <span id=\"spanHghlt4a53\">across the building parameters of PLQ<\/span><sup>[1]<\/sup>. The development, managed by Lendlease, <span id=\"spanHghlt717a\">spans a<\/span> 4-hectare site.<\/p>\n<p>Certis&#8217; Security+ solution can achieve&#160;the following outcomes:<\/p>\n<p><b>a. Safer Shopper, Visitor Experience with Smart, Low-Touch Technology<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In line with low-touch demands of the new normal, <span id=\"spanHghlt7221\">Security+<\/span>&#160;will deploy an Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled robot, which operates 24\/7 to interact with shoppers and visitors to provide wayfinding services. <span id=\"spanHghlt6da2\">Oscar, an autonomous purpose-built robot with AI detection capabilities, can detect and sound alerts upon encountering illegally-parked bicycles, fires, and people smoking in non-designated areas or loitering in PLQ after hours.

Oscar will then be able to identify crowding, and play messages to inform shoppers to adhere to safe distancing measures. By adapting to and embracing changes in the new normal, the low-touch solution will motivate shoppers to choose PLQ for safer and better shopping experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>b. <span id=\"spanHghlt0f16\">Higher Productivity Expected<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"spanHghlt0475\">Certis&#8217; Security+ incorporates leading technology into security services to integrate management and security services across multiple sites.
