Visit to HKPMAC for COMP Student's Capstone Project 2026

On 23^rd Sep 2026 afternoon, I lead my students Ms. Iris Lau, Mr. Marco Wong and Ms. Fiona Tam to visit the Hong Kong Precious Metals Assay Centre (HKPMAC) under Hong Kong Gold Exchange (HKGX). It is the first capstone project named “LKH1: Development of Laboratory Information System (LIMS) for operation performance enhancement” since 2025. The project aims to design and implement online ERP system to replace the existing excel based system for laboratory operation. We arrived in the Hong Kong Gold Exchange and took a photo. 

And then Dr. Kathy Fu (Lab Manager, HKPMAC) led us to visit the laboratory.

She explained the daily operation of laboratory and we need to register before access.

Different instruments are introduced such as X-Ray Fluorescence Spectroscopy.

After that Dr. Kathy Fu introduced their data and customer recording excel-based systems and problems to students. It is an important kick-off meeting for this capstone project.

Finally, we took a group photo with Mr. Brian Fung (CEO, HKGX). Many thanks Brian and Kathy supporting to PolyU COMP Student Capstone Project.
