Seoul – July 11, 2023 –
Enterprise AI service company People and Technology Co., Ltd. (Co-CEOs Hong Sung-pyo and Lim Jin-soon) announced the successful deployment of its industrial safety management solution, 'IndoorPlus+ SmartSafety,' at the Sangdong Tungsten Mine operated by Almonty Korea Tungsten Co., Ltd. in Gangwon Province. This initiative is part of a "Mine Safety and Position Tracking System" project spearheaded by KT.
About 'IndoorPlus+ SmartSafety'
'IndoorPlus+ SmartSafety' is designed for high-risk workplaces such as mines, factories, and construction sites. It enhances worker safety through real-time monitoring of health and location data, enabling preventive safety measures and rapid response to emergencies.
Key features include:
- Worker Location Tracking: Minimizes rescue time during emergencies.
- Health Monitoring: Tracks vital signs such as heart rate to detect anomalies and trigger immediate action.
- Emergency Alerts: Allows workers to send SOS signals through a safety management app, with precise location data sent to supervisors for prompt intervention.
- Mobile Workflow Management: Real-time updates on workforce deployment, rest periods, and task progress via a mobile app.
The system also includes a comprehensive site management feature for overseeing multiple locations, providing insights into safety compliance and operational efficiency.
Innovative Technology Integration
Almonty has previously collaborated with KT to implement a 4G LTE communication network at the Sangdong Mine, marking its first step toward a smart mining infrastructure. With IndoorPlus+ SmartSafety, the mine leverages its LTE infrastructure to:
- Replace traditional IoT hardware (scanners, gateways) with smartphones, reducing installation costs and time.
- Enhance accuracy using machine learning techniques, achieving higher precision in location tracking compared to conventional beacon-based methods.
Addressing Industrial Safety Challenges
With South Korea’s Serious Accidents Punishment Act in effect, industrial safety awareness is at an all-time high. Mines, given their unique challenges, often face difficulties in responding promptly to emergencies.
A representative from People and Technology stated:
"IndoorPlus+ SmartSafety establishes a standardized intelligent mine safety management system, combining advanced biometrics monitoring with LTE-powered real-time communication. This not only boosts the safety and productivity of the national mineral industry but also sets a new benchmark for industrial safety management."
Future Prospects
The IndoorPlus+ SmartSafety system has roots in proven service models for smart hospitals, demonstrating its reliability and adaptability. People and Technology plans to expand its deployment to large-scale factories and other industrial sites requiring advanced safety management.
