Hancom Group's 'Drone' Monitors Fire in Jeollabuk-do

[Asia Economy Reporter Buaeri] Hancom Group is partnering with Jeollabuk-do to establish a fire monitoring system using drones.

On the 22nd, Hancom Group signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the 'Establishment of a Fire Monitoring System Using Drones' at Jeonju Hanok Village in Jeollabuk-do.

Hancom Group and Jeollabuk-do have agreed to jointly promote a pilot project to build a system where drones can automatically monitor fires.

The drone system being promoted this time is the first in the country to utilize drones equipped with thermal imaging cameras, and features the installation of drone stations to enable unmanned drones to operate automatically.

Through this, drones will automatically patrol day and night in fire monitoring zones such as Jeonju Hanok Village and Nambu Market.

The drones detect early fire signs such as smoke, flames, and temperature, transmit video footage in real time to fire stations and 119 control rooms, and use artificial intelligence (AI) video analysis technology for real-time automatic analysis.

In this pilot project, Hancom Lifecare will develop the overall operation system, and Hancom Inspace will provide the unmanned automation system 'DroneSAT' and video analysis programs. 'DroneSAT' supports automatic takeoff and landing, wireless charging, communication data collection, control, and analysis, and determines drone flight based on Automatic Weather Station (AWS) data.

A Hancom Group official stated, "We will enhance the platform to enable rapid response at fire scenes by utilizing drone and artificial intelligence technologies, and closely cooperate with fire departments. We will also promote various pilot projects in collaboration with the public and private sectors to verify the potential of drone utilization and further expand its scope."

Meanwhile, since March last year, Hancom Group has signed an MOU for the creation of Jeonju Smart City and is focusing on the 'Jeonju-type Smart City Fire Safety Platform' construction project.
