Seoul – December 6, 2021 –

People & Technology, a leader in AIoT and data services, in collaboration with KT, has signed a contract to implement an AIoT-based worker safety management system for Doosan Mecatec, a leading manufacturer of chemical processing equipment.

Innovative Safety Solutions for High-Risk Work Environments

In hazardous workplaces, real-time worker location tracking is critical for facilitating rescue operations and swift responses during safety incidents. This system goes further by incorporating real-time biometric data monitoring, allowing for proactive safety measures focused on worker health and significantly reducing the likelihood of accidents.

System Highlights

• Proven Technology:
  Built on IndoorPlus+, a globally recognized precision positioning engine validated over the past eight years. The system integrates wearable IoT devices and Bluetooth protocols.

• Cost and Time Efficiency:
  By using workers’ smartphones as signal collection terminals, the solution eliminates the need for traditional scanner hardware, offering a cost-effective and scalable alternative.

• Real-Time Biometric Alerts:
  The system automatically collects biometric data such as heart rate and body temperature. In critical scenarios where workers cannot press an SOS button, the system triggers alerts to managers, ensuring immediate emergency response and securing the golden hour for treatment.

• Enhanced Lone Worker and High-Risk Worker Safety:
  Designed to manage the safety of lone and high-risk workers effectively, allowing a small number of safety managers to oversee a large workforce across expansive worksites.

Benefits for Doosan Mecatec

• Increased Productivity:
  By reducing anxiety related to high-risk and night shifts, workers can focus on tasks, leading to improved efficiency.

• Corporate Responsibility:
  The system enables Doosan Mecatec to fulfill its corporate social responsibilities and comply with stricter safety regulations under the Serious Accidents Punishment Act.

Future Vision

With the successful implementation of the Doosan Mecatec solution, People & Technology plans to expand its industrial safety management model across other sectors, including construction, chemical, and manufacturing industries. This initiative will solidify the company’s position as a leader in industrial safety management in Korea.
