Seoul – June 17, 2022 –

People and Technology Co., Ltd., a leading AIoT and data services provider, has announced the deployment of an advanced access control system for Hyundai Steel, one of South Korea's premier steel manufacturers. This system is designed to enhance safety and security across Hyundai Steel's coke plant operations.

Key Features of the Access Control System

1. Restricted Access Control

   • Unauthorized personnel are denied access to all entry points in the coke plant.
   • Bluetooth wireless tags transmit data to visualize individuals’ locations within specific zones, enabling clear monitoring of residual personnel in the facility.

2. Enhanced Safety Measures

   • The current system permits unrestricted access via stairways and other entry points, potentially allowing individuals with insufficient safety awareness to enter hazardous areas.
   • The new system restricts access to untrained personnel, requiring them to complete safety training before receiving access credentials, significantly reducing the likelihood of major accidents like entrapments or collisions.

3. Real-Time Monitoring

   • The system provides a managerial interface to track:
     • Visitor entry and exit status
     • Residual personnel within specific zones
     • Unauthorized access attempts in restricted areas

4. Visitor and Access Management

   • Different permissions are assigned based on visitor types (e.g., employees, regular visitors, one-time visitors).
   • Permissions and access regions can be configured according to the system's settings.

5. Emergency Response Capability

   • In emergencies, the system identifies individuals' real-time locations within specific zones.
   • The integration with access doors allows for the immediate assessment of evacuation status and residual personnel during emergencies.

6. Protection and Historical Data

   • The system automates the tracking of entry and exit in protected zones and maintains historical records for future reference.

Impact on Operations

The implementation of the access control system enhances Hyundai Steel’s safety and operational efficiency by:

• Preventing unauthorized access to critical operational zones.
• Reducing the risk of accidents involving untrained personnel.
• Enabling real-time oversight and swift response during emergencies.

Broader Applications

Building on this successful deployment, People and Technology aims to extend the solution to other industries such as construction, chemical processing, and manufacturing, showcasing its potential to transform safety protocols and operational efficiency across diverse domains.

Hong Sung-pyo, Co-CEO of People and Technology, commented:
“Our collaboration with Hyundai Steel marks a pivotal step in modernizing industrial safety. This deployment showcases our commitment to delivering innovative solutions that enhance safety and efficiency. We look forward to expanding our expertise to other industries and creating more success stories in the future.”
