[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Hanwha Techwin announced on the 2nd that it will conduct the 'Inside Techwinner' program, which provides employees with the opportunity to propose business ideas and directly implement them into commercial products.

Hanwha Techwin explained that as existing CCTV systems are integrated with Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the competition to develop creative solutions is accelerating. Therefore, the company planned this program, recognizing the importance of active business participation by internal experts, i.e., its employees.

In the first program held last month, more than 20 teams participated, submitting various ideas such as deepfake prevention AI solutions, solar power system solutions, and AI license plate detection solutions.

Ideas proposed based on field experience included the 'Parent Care Safety AI Solution,' which monitors the health and well-being of elderly people who have difficulty moving or require care and protects them from various accidents, and the 'Solar Power Solution,' which supplies power to CCTV using solar energy in environments where electrical installations are difficult, such as mountainous areas and deserts.

Ideas proposed by employees are first evaluated through voting by other employees. Then, the relevant business departments review the business feasibility, and after the final evaluation by management, if selected as an official project, a separate team is formed to implement the idea. The company provides infrastructure resources and expenses to support the project.

Ahn Soon-hong, CEO of Hanwha Techwin, said, "For Hanwha Techwin to firmly establish itself as a global security company leading the development of new Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies, voluntary participation by employees through programs like Inside Techwinner is crucial." He added, "We plan to actively support employees so that their creative ideas can translate into the company's competitiveness."
