The International Division of AICLA hosted a successful webinar for AICLA members and industry friends on 24 February. The virtual talk titled “Latest Technology to Assist with Remote Site Visits and Inspection” was presented by G.Sujenthiran (Forensic Engineer – Approved Group International).

Over 300 participants tuned into this live broadcast which was also opened to many more by DKTV via YouTube (hosted by Delil Khairat, a reinsurer based in Kuala Lumpur). We welcomed participants from the Asean region with the largest attendance by the Indonesians. Sujenthiran shared how the 3-dimension scanning camera operates and can be used to manage remote site surveys effectively. This is part of the latest assistive technology that has developed in the post pandemic environment where traveling still remains a challenge. This S$8,500 hi-tech camera device with accessories (including WiFi glass) can be mobilized in loss assessment and pre-risk
survey inspections.

Participants were also shown sample 3-dimension video scanned shots using some interesting case studies. An activity was also conducted to enable participants to use their own mobile devices to conduct 3-D scans using a mobile app. This segment was well received by the audience.
The presentation also brought about numerous questions during the Q&A session while positive technical comments were received from industry attendees from Dubai, Thailand and Indonesia. The application of Artificial Intelligence and Industrial Revolution (I.R) 4.0 elements in this technology appears to be the way to move forward in the new norm.

This session was supported by the Association of Malaysian Loss Adjusters (AMLA), The Malaysian Insurance Institute (MII), Loss Adjusters Association
of Singapore (LAAS), Asosiasi Ahli Pialang Asuransi dan Reasuransi Indonesia (APARI), and Asosiasi Penilai Kerugian Asuransi Indonesia (APKAI).
