Daewoo E&C announced on the 26th that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with LG Electronics to build a future artificial intelligence (AI) smart complex.

Through this agreement, Daewoo E&C plans to integrate LG Electronics' ThinQ platform with its self-developed Smart Prugio platform to implement a smart home platform that leads future residential culture.

The Smart Prugio platform will evolve into a platform that creates an "intelligent living space" by automatically controlling and linking various home appliances connected through the Internet of Things (IoT) using big data collected independently within apartment complexes.

It now enables control of all smart appliances by linking 12 types of home appliances closely related to daily life, including air conditioners, air purifiers, and robot vacuum cleaners, in addition to existing home network devices such as lighting, heating, and elevator calls.

Moreover, Daewoo E&C plans to provide customized services to residents and collaborative services with various partners based on big data accumulated through the existing Smart Prugio platform and LG Electronics' ThinQ platform.

Through this MOU with LG Electronics, Prugio Smart Home has become the first domestic construction company to directly control major smart appliances from the two leading domestic home appliance companies via an app.

The AI smart complex service will be applied sequentially starting from complexes launched in the second half of 2021. Additionally, Daewoo E&C plans to provide some services to Prugio complexes moving in this year through close cooperation with LG Electronics.

A Daewoo E&C official said, "The best service implementation will be possible through Daewoo E&C, which has the highest competitiveness and performance in smart homes and smart complexes in Korea, and LG Electronics' big data analysis solutions."
