Executive Brief
onActivity Technologies Limited is a specialist in Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) media and AI-driven visual solutions. Their core business involves high-end display installations, multi-projector calibration (makerSign), and edge-computing kiosks (Smart Ambassador) that utilize facial recognition and real-time analytics. Their technical challenges center on maintaining hardware reliability and optical performance in high-intensity, 24/7 public and retail environments.
Strategic Fit & Lead Score
Lead Score: 55 (Adjacent Tech / Engineering Solutions)
Why this Score? While onActivity is primarily a systems integrator and software developer, their hardware deployments (high-lumen projectors, outdoor DOOH, and AI edge-processing units) face significant thermal and durability bottlenecks. As they scale their "Smart Ambassador" AI kiosks, the heat density of edge-AI processors and the vulnerability of optical sensors in public spaces become prime candidates for 6C’s Diamond Technology.
6C Solutions Proposal
| Application Area | 6C Solution | Technical Value Prop |
|---|---|---|
| Edge AI Thermal Management | PCD Heat Spreaders | Diamond (2000 W/mK) outperforms copper by 5x. Essential for cooling compact AI processors used in "Smart Ambassador" kiosks to prevent thermal throttling during face recognition tasks. |
| High-Lumen Projection | Diamond Optical Windows | CVD Diamond has the highest thermal conductivity and wide spectral transparency. Used as a window for high-power laser projectors to prevent "thermal lensing" and optical distortion. |
| Outdoor Sensor Protection | SCD/PCD Protective Coating | Direct diamond coating on camera/sensor lenses for DOOH installations. Provides a "bulletproof," scratch-resistant (Mohs 10), and chemically inert surface for face recognition sensors in harsh public environments. |
| High-Brightness LED Cooling | PCD Substrates for LEDs | DOOH displays require extreme brightness to combat sunlight. 6C diamond substrates allow LEDs to run at higher current densities without premature lumen depreciation or color shifting. |
| Interactive Touch Durability | Custom Thin-Film Coating | Application of ultra-thin diamond-like carbon (DLC) or diamond films via MPCVD to interactive displays to reduce friction and eliminate surface wear from constant public use. |
Engagement Hooks
- Technical Question: "As your 'Smart Ambassador' kiosks move toward more intensive real-time AI and face recognition at the edge, how are you managing the thermal overhead of the GPUs/NPUs within such slim, unventilated enclosures?"
- Value Statement: "6C can help onActivity eliminate thermal throttling in your AI-driven hardware and provide 'zero-maintenance' optical protection for your outdoor DOOH sensors using the world's most thermally conductive material: Synthetic Diamond."
Technical Specifications for Integration
- Thermal Conductivity: >2000 W/mK (for PCD/SCD).
