SK Shieldus Strengthens Industrial Site Safety with Converged Security Platform

Providing Industrial Safety Solutions Based on the Intelligent Convergence Security Platform 'SUMiTS'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] SK Shieldus (CEO Park Jin-hyo) announced on the 2nd that it is solidifying its leadership in the industrial safety market based on the convergence security platform 'SUMiTS' (Summits).

SK Shieldus, in collaboration with industrial goods manufacturer SafeWare, has launched a 'wearable airbag' that workers can easily wear to prepare for fall accidents that may occur at high-risk sites such as construction, manufacturing·and logistics centers. The wearable airbag functions like a car airbag by detecting a worker's fall and inflating built-in carbon dioxide within 0.2 seconds to cushion the impact caused by the fall. Additionally, an emergency text message is sent to the site manager immediately upon a fall, enabling prompt follow-up action.

SK Shieldus plans to integrate the wearable airbag with the intelligent convergence security platform 'Summits,' launched in October last year. When the two systems are linked, high-performance CCTVs installed near the workplace and video analysis functions within the platform can be used to monitor safety management status in real time during work, enabling accident prevention. Even if a fall accident occurs, the information is automatically sent to the site safety manager, control personnel, on-site workers, and related agencies capable of emergency dispatch, establishing a system that can respond immediately to crises.

Kim Young-joo, head of the Convergence Security Business Division at SK Shieldus, said, "With the enforcement of the Serious Accident Punishment Act, technologies that comprehensively collect and analyze data at industrial sites to quickly identify and respond to threats are gaining attention. Interest in the AI convergence security platform Summits, which systematically supports industrial safety, is increasing." He added, "As a leading company in convergence security, SK Shieldus will put more effort into developing smart convergence security systems that can prevent and respond to industrial accidents in advance."
