No More Getting Lost: Mapxus and LUCI Group Team Up to Build the Smart, Safe Buildings of the Future

Future buildings won’t just be concrete jungles—they’ll be intelligent spaces designed from the ground up to ensure our safety and comfort. In a major step toward this future, we are excited to announce that Mapxus has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Taiwanese AR and IoT specialist LUCI Group. The partnership, finalized on August 22, will pioneer the next generation of "smart, secure, and accessible" buildings.

Imagine walking into a hospital and having your phone guide you seamlessly to the right consultation room. Picture a city where wheelchair users can instantly find the most accessible routes. Imagine that during a fire, your phone shows you a dynamically updated escape path to safety. These scenarios, once the stuff of science fiction, are precisely what the Mapxus and LUCI Group collaboration aims to make a reality.

By integrating Mapxus's advanced indoor mapping technology with LUCI Group's powerful digital twin and security monitoring platforms, the partnership will deliver a suite of transformative solutions:

• Intuitive Smart Navigation: Making indoor wayfinding as simple as using Google Maps outdoors, allowing visitors to effortlessly find their way in complex venues like airports, malls, and corporate campuses.
• True Accessibility: Providing automatically planned, barrier-free routes and voice-guided navigation to ensure a confident journey for all users, including those in wheelchairs and others with specific mobility needs.
• Next-Generation Safety: In an emergency like a fire or gas leak, the system will instantly update escape routes, providing clear guidance to help occupants and first responders save precious time when it matters most.
• Enhanced Workplace Safety: For facility management, inspectors wearing smartwatches can have their vital signs and location monitored in real-time, dramatically increasing safety during high-risk operations.

"Our vision is for maps to go beyond simple navigation," says Ocean Ng, COO of Mapxus. "It's about creating environments that actively ensure the safety and well-being of everyone inside."

‍

Leo Hsu, General Manager of LUCI Group, adds that the mission is deeply human-centric. "Smart buildings are not just about deploying technology—they’re about safeguarding lives."

‍

This partnership is more than just a signed agreement; it's a shared commitment to advancing the smart city concept. The collaboration will transform new buildings into international showcases, promoting a new model of smart buildings to the global stage.
