Kerry Group bags award at Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards 2023

The company wins under Learning and Development Technology - Manufacturing category for its interactive wall.

Kerry Group has won the Learning and Development Technology - Manufacturing award at the Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards for its innovative Interactive Wall at the Kerry Kl Center in Kuala Lumpur.

The Malaysia Technology Excellence Awards 2023 recognises exceptional companies that are riding the disruption wave and leading the technological revolution and digital journeys in their respective industries.

The Interactive Wall is a 16.3-meter wall located in Petal 1, adjacent to the cafeteria at Kerry Kl Center. It showcases the multi-facets of Kerry's products, people, processes, announcements, and learning content interactively and engagingly. The Wall features a projection screen with gaming coding in the background that detects hand touches and changes content and commands interactively. The Wall is divided into three segments, each with a specific function.

The focal point of the Interactive Wall is the Kerry Rainbow, which is displayed on an interactive screen. The selectable elements of the Kerry Rainbow open a secondary window that informs the user about the chosen element. The People Wall showcases Kerry's team and related information, whilst the General Wall displays Kerry's global news and marketing news. The People Wall and General Wall are powered by a Content Management System that allows for dynamic content upload by Kerry's Marketing or Corporate Communications team.

The Interactive Wall initiative has received a positive response from Kerry's employees, who are now able to read, listen and interactively engage with the contents and be aware of the latest updates in Kerry and other learning materials and announcements.

The Interactive Wall brings people together for collaboration physically at a time when remote work is preferred. It also brings awareness to employees on what's happening around Kerry in an interactive way, where legacy emails and intranet announcements are not as effective. Additionally, it instils learning and development interactively so that it's fun and engaging.
