KT has implemented its AI-based fire safety service, Safemate, in the Namdong National Industrial Complex in Incheon to enhance fire safety in industrial settings.
On November 15, KT announced that it has installed 105 Safemate fire detectors for 20 companies in the Namdong Industrial Complex as part of a project supported by the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation's Incheon regional headquarters.
Safemate detects various signs of fire, including flames, smoke, and temperature changes, and is linked to KT's monitoring service to assist with situation assessment and on-site response.
This initiative is being carried out in collaboration with fire detection technology firm LDT. KT oversees the Safemate product, communication, monitoring, and platform, while LDT is responsible for the research and enhancement of fire detection devices and on-site systems. The two companies have previously collaborated on the Safemate project in traditional markets and public facilities, accumulating operational experience.
The fire detection devices identify multiple fire indicators, such as flames, smoke, and significant temperature increases. Notably, AI analyzes thousands of detection history records collected from actual sites to identify abnormal patterns and assess the likelihood of a fire, relaying this information to KT's monitoring center.
The center verifies the received information, alerts on-site personnel via phone and text, and automatically notifies emergency services.
KT plans to enhance Safemate by adding AI-based arc detection capabilities, which will improve safety management by not only detecting fire signs but also preventing potential hazards. Arc detection identifies electrical anomalies in equipment, allowing AI to detect and analyze abnormal arc signals to identify risks early.
In the future, KT aims to expand the application of Safemate to manufacturing hubs densely populated with factories. The company will continue its collaboration with LDT to refine fire safety services based on the unique characteristics and safety management needs of industrial sites.
Jeong Myung-jun, head of KT's Enterprise Division Service Headquarters, stated, "In industrial settings, it is crucial to detect fire signs early and respond quickly, as well as to manage risk factors in advance. We will continue to enhance related functions, such as AI-based arc detection, to expand fire safety services that encompass prevention, detection, and response."
