What viAct does

viAct is a Hong Kong-headquartered AI software company, founded in 2016 by Gary Ng (CEO) and Hugo Cheuk (Co-founder & COO), that provides computer vision-based workplace safety monitoring for high-risk industrial environments. The company has grown to 51-100 employees and operates across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Australia, with announced plans to expand into Europe and North America. Its platform serves enterprise customers in construction, oil & gas, mining, manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing, including Aramco, Neom, ADNOC Gas, SABIC, ACWA Power, BHP, Rio Tinto, CEMEX, Bouygues, MTR, ALEC Engineering, Americold, Piston Automotive, Verst Logistics, and Port of Virginia.

The platform combines scenario-based computer vision, AIoT-enabled wearables (smartwatches, smart helmets), and edge computing devices to detect safety hazards from existing CCTV camera feeds. Core technology assets include 200+ pre-built industry-specific AI modules trained on real incident data from 500+ deployed projects, plus a centralized viHUB analytics dashboard. Hardware products include viMOV (mobile edge AI), viLID (LiDAR sensing), viAER (drone monitoring), viBOT (autonomous patrol robot), and viMAC (vehicle safety). viGent, a generative AI agent for EHS teams, automates incident reporting and compliance documentation. The platform offers cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployment options and integrates with existing CCTV infrastructure via RTSP. The company has been profitable since 2019.

Revenue is generated through a multi-stream model: SaaS platform subscriptions (per-device monthly or annual licensing), proprietary IoT and edge hardware sales, and professional services for deployment and integration. viAct runs a direct enterprise field sales motion complemented by a multi-tier partner program (channel, reseller, agent, tech partners) and event-driven marketing targeting EHS and operations leaders. As of April 2025, viAct closed a $7.3 million Series A round led by Dublin-based Venturewave Capital, with participation from Singtel Innov8, Korea Investment Partners, and PolyU Entrepreneurship Investment Fund, bringing total disclosed funding to approximately $9.3 million.
