[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] KT announced on the 27th that it has established a drone system to enhance environmental safety at Samsung Electronics' DS Division Onyang plant.

The drone system built by KT operates based on a dedicated enterprise LTE wireless security network, ensuring the safe protection of videos captured by drone cameras. The drone system is also linked with automated flight control technology, fire detectors, and facility temperature sensors, enabling environmental safety monitoring within the plant.

The drone system is operated through an unmanned drone operation station, providing features such as ▲high-speed charging ▲simultaneous control of multiple drones and stations ▲automatic cyclic flight control system ▲remote drone control and information transmission between stations.

KT plans to continue its working group activities with Samsung Electronics to promote digital transformation (DX) in the manufacturing sector by utilizing new IoT (Internet of Things) technologies based on dedicated enterprise LTE networks.

Oh Hyuk-sang, Executive Director and Head of Environmental Safety Team at Samsung Electronics Onyang Plant, explained, “Through KT drones, we will prioritize facility management, night patrols, and ambient gas analysis from the air, and will continue to strengthen our internal safety capabilities.”

Park Jung-jun, Head of Enterprise Customer Division at KT Enterprise Division, said, “With automated flight control drones, more meticulous management of environmental safety at the plant has become possible. Starting with the application of automated flight control drones at Samsung Electronics DS Division Onyang plant, we will continuously provide DX services leading innovation in the manufacturing sector.”
