[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] KT announced on the 24th that it will join hands with Coupang to enhance safety and prevent accidents at logistics centers.

The two companies will jointly promote ▲intelligent and digital transformation in fire safety at logistics centers ▲application of KT’s fire safety DX solutions to Coupang logistics centers ▲advancement and development of AI-based fire safety platforms ▲integrated safety management of logistics centers.

KT launched its Fire Protection Safety (FPS24) service last October. The fire protection safety service provides real-time information on the status of fire equipment and fire detection by linking with fire alarm receivers to the building’s fire safety personnel. KT aims to minimize property damage and casualties through 24-hour fire monitoring and real-time response.

KT plans to apply the fire protection safety service to all Coupang logistics centers nationwide. By implementing the fire protection safety service on Coupang logistics center fire facilities, KT will establish a system to monitor the operational status of fire alarm receivers 24/7, preventing receiver malfunctions. Through this collaboration, Coupang will reduce the risk of fire occurrence and establish a system capable of rapid response in case of fire. The two companies plan to become leading players in digital innovation of logistics centers based on Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) through this partnership.

Ryan Brown, Vice President of Environment, Health, and Safety at Coupang, said, “Since last year, Coupang has been hiring a large number of environmental safety personnel and implementing policies that prioritize worker health and safety, while establishing global fire safety standards. Through this collaboration with KT, we have secured a higher level of fire safety management capabilities.”

Jaeho Song, Head of KT AI & DX Convergence Business Division, said, “We are honored to collaborate with Coupang by applying KT’s steadily prepared fire safety DX solutions to logistics centers to enhance their safety. KT and Coupang will demonstrate tangible results in various fields that can create synergy, including not only fire safety but also Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) and digital logistics at logistics centers.”
