SK Gas Launches Propane Safety Management Platform 'WegoSafety'

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] SK Gas Co., Ltd. is providing a new service called 'wego Safety' to enhance the safety of end consumers of propane.

On the 2nd, SK Gas announced that it will launch 'wego Safety,' an added safety management service on 'wego,' the propane distribution management platform it first launched domestically last year.

'wego' is an AI-based propane distribution management platform that offers various services necessary for propane distribution, such as usage prediction, charging plan establishment, delivery route optimization through a dispatch engine, and a 'smart transportation system' that reduces leftover delivery amounts, based on data from the 'remote inventory transmitter' installed on storage tanks.

The newly launched 'wego Safety' is a safety management specialized service developed by SK Gas to ensure the safety management of propane usage facilities. It monitors usage facilities in real time and sends alarms simultaneously to facility managers and suppliers upon detecting risks, enabling immediate response. It also provides a history management function that allows consumers to conveniently check the safety inspection history of the facilities at any time.

SK Gas's propane safety management service 'wego Safety' attaches IoT sensors to key equipment including storage tanks and monitors the current safety status based on the transmitted signals. Additionally, upon consumer request, sensors that can check voltage, temperature, and pressure on combustion devices can be installed. Since these are gas facilities, the installed IoT sensors are products certified for explosion-proof standards both domestically and internationally.

The data collected in real time through sensors installed on key equipment is transmitted to both consumers and suppliers, enabling real-time monitoring. Notably, monitoring data is sent to both consumers and suppliers. Until now, information regarding safety inspections and management of propane facilities was concentrated solely with propane suppliers. However, 'wego Safety' provides facility monitoring data and safety inspection results to consumers as well.

Meanwhile, 'wego Safety' can be checked on the wego homepage, and charging operators who wish to use 'wego' can contact SK Gas headquarters for guidance.
