Infineon Technologies Asia Pacific Pte Ltd and Tack One Pte Ltd have won the Best Technological Collaboration category at the 2026 SICC Awards and were also named a finalist in Most Sustainable Collaboration. The recognition comes for their joint development of FloodFinder™, a smart flood monitoring system that collects water-level data in real time without relying on external infrastructure.
The system combines Infineon’s sensing and semiconductor technology with Tack One’s ultra-low-power IoTinternet of thingsThis term describes connected devices and systems that exchange data over networks. design, wireless communication, deployment and cloud integration expertise. According to the source, FloodFinder™ uses pressure and environmental sensing to provide precise flood detection. It is described as self-sustaining and patent-pending, and it is intended to work even when the energy grid is down.
FloodFinder™ is designed for both urban and rural deployment and is aimed at supporting flood preparedness and data-driven decisions for government agencies and communities. The system reduces dependence on external infrastructure, which is a central part of its technical concept. Infineon specifically points to its XENSIV™ sensors as part of the solution.
The award highlights a collaboration model that goes beyond a conventional supplier-customer relationship. The companies say the joint development combines advanced sensing, efficient system design and ease of deployment in environments where power and network infrastructure are limited. The system is already deployed across Brunei, Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand.
