Guardian South East Asia (Guardian SEA) is wholly owned by V S Industry Berhad, a strategic investor in Seeing Machines and a leading integrated electronics machines services provider.
Seeing Machines and Guardian SEA expect to capitalise on the significant growth in cross-border transportation of goods between Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, as well as the opportunity to protect passengers using extensive public bus networks in Singapore and other major cities in the region.
The two companies have been actively working on opportunities in the public bus market through various initiatives, such as conducting joint product demonstrations with local public transport authorities.
Paul Angelatos, chief operating officer of Seeing Machines said Guardian SEA’s expertise and local relationships would help to protect “not only drivers, but also millions of commuters who rely upon safe, efficient public transportation."
