Skytider^R is a tool designed to facilitate the installation of bunting; compared to existing methods which require a ladder for climbing and using a large number of staffs. Skytider^R applies eco-friendly approach by replacing wires with a cable tie. The use of wires during installation of the bunting leads to abandoned of old wire that may cause of rust on the street lights pole after the buntings were uninstalled from the street lights pole. Skytider^R helps in the installation works without the need for individuals to climb, twist wires and most importantly to avoid the risk of an accident. The risk to fall down from a ladder, uneven ground surfaces to place the ladder, narrow areas that difficult to reach, street lights pole adjacent to main roads which involving many vehicles are among the problems encountered often during the installation works. Based on that problem, the staffs of Putra Science Park have sparked a new invention in the installation works of buntings. Skytider^R is made up of two major materials, aluminium and steel with 850g weight that has proven to facilitate the installation and uninstallation works of buntings without the use of ladder, speed up the installation works, increase safety level for the staff and thus, save on costs by reducing the dependency on the use of external contractor.
