Metthier’s Strategic Direction: “Harmonizing People and Technology for Sustainable Growth”

Today, technology has become an undeniable force of transformation, reshaping industries and influencing every aspect of modern life. This is especially true in the realm of safety management, where innovations like AI, IoT, and advanced database systems are not just supplementary but crucial tools. These technologies elevate safety standards, enhance convenience, and improve operational efficiency across all dimensions of human life.

Under the visionary leadership of “Kayon Tantichatiwat,” Metthier has embraced this transformative potential. As a young and forward-thinking CEO, Kayon is spearheading initiatives that leverage cutting-edge technology to drive sustainable change. Metthier approach goes beyond merely addressing today’s needs; it lays a foundation for Thailand’s future development, ensuring that people and technology work hand in hand in sustainable ways.

 

 What Does Metthier Do?

Metthier is a leading provider of Smart Facility Management solutions, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for Thai people through intelligent technology. With a focus on safety and efficient facility management, Metthier operates under the guiding principle of “Smart Living, Smart Life.”

The company began its journey by integrating data and technology (Database Integration) to innovate management processes across all dimensions. Today, Metthier employs over 9,000 individuals and is projected to reach 10,000 employees by the end of the year. In collaboration with both public and private sectors, Metthier is actively driving Thailand to fully integrated smart cities.

Metthier’s services are structured on three core pillars:

• Smart Building: Technology-driven solutions for building management and maintenance.
• Security as a Service: 24/7 security services enhanced by advanced technology for greater efficiency and reliability.
• Smart Facility Management: Comprehensive facility management services, ranging from robotic cleaning systems to professional housekeeping teams.

One of Metthier’s most notable achievements is the integration of AI-powered CCTV systems and advanced visualization technology to interconnect data between surveillance cameras, electrical systems, and various IoT devices. This approach has significantly enhanced management efficiency. A compelling example comes from Singapore’s Changi International Airport, where over 5,000 motion-detecting sensors were installed. These sensors have reduced accidents by 60% compared to other airports and cut staff workload by 40%. This showcases how intelligent technology can revolutionize operational efficiency and safety in high-traffic environments.

Kayon, has pointed to Singapore’s developmental model as a benchmark for smart city innovation. A key factor in Singapore’s success lies in the seamless collaboration between the public and private sectors. One standout example is the real-time data-sharing agreement that allows Singaporean police to access CCTV footage from various organizations. This integrated system ensures rapid response times and enhanced public safety, forming a cornerstone of Singapore’s transformation into one of the world’s top smart cities.

Introducing METTRIQ: Revolutionizing Safety and Sustainability

Metthier has unveiled “METTRIQ”— Metthier Reformative IQ Platform — a groundbreaking intelligent platform designed to elevate Thailand’s technological landscape. Focused on transforming facility management and advancing sustainability, METTRIQ operates through two primary pillars: Smart Security Platform and Sustainable Energy Management.

Smart Security Platform

This platform harnesses the power of AI and IoT to enhance safety. Key innovations include:

• AI CCTV Systems capable of detecting irregular activities, theft, or intrusions in real-time.
• Facial Recognition Technology to proactively prevent crimes before they occur.
• METTTALK Tracking Devices for monitoring the performance and movement of security personnel.
• Smart Car Park Management systems for efficient parking space utilization.

Sustainable Energy Management

METTRIQ also focuses on gathering and analyzing energy usage data to reduce waste and promote sustainability. Kayon, highlighted a successful global example: Smart Energy Saving System in the Netherlands. This system dynamically adjusts air conditioning in shopping malls based on occupancy, preventing unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining comfort.

Through METTRIQ, Metthier aims to replicate and customize such global best practices for Thailand, driving innovation and ensuring a smarter, safer, and more sustainable future.

Bangkok’s Journey Towards Becoming a Smart City

Despite decades of discussions around the concept, Bangkok currently ranks 84th in the Global Smart City Index, reflecting the need for continued development in this area.

However, Bangkok stands out in safety management, earning the 3rd safest city in ASEAN. This achievement is supported by the deployment of 65,167 CCTV cameras, placing Bangkok behind Singapore, with over 109,072 cameras, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, which has installed more than 79,430 cameras.

Kayon, envisions a promising future for Bangkok, emphasizing its potential to evolve into a true smart city. This transformation hinges on leveraging technology to enhance infrastructure, improve safety management systems, and foster seamless collaboration between public and private sectors—an approach akin to Singapore’s success in structured safety management integration.

Metthier is fully committed to being a key player in this journey. The company is ready to collaborate with all sectors, both domestically and internationally, to propel Thailand toward genuine smart city. With a steadfast mission, Metthier aims to ensure that Thai citizens live safer, healthier, more efficient, and sustainable lives across every dimension.
