LS Cable & System launches system to detect cable outages and fires using IoT

Cable Remote Management System 'iCheck' Launched
Large-scale Commercial Facilities and Industrial Complexes Cable Safety Monitoring

An LS Cable worker is monitoring the status of the distribution cable in real-time through the iCheck system application installed on a mobile device.

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] LS Cable announced on the 23rd that it has launched the cable remote management system iCheck and is starting full-scale commercialization targeting large-scale commercial facilities, industrial complexes, and buildings.

iCheck uses IoT (Internet of Things) sensors attached to cables to detect abnormal conditions such as overheating and leakage, helping to prevent power outages and fires caused by cable faults. Managers can check the cable status in real time via web and mobile, and receive alerts if any abnormalities occur.

Additionally, a method to digitize and manage cable information has been developed. By scanning a special QR code with a dedicated reader or mobile device, users can easily identify the cable's manufacturing and maintenance history, remaining lifespan, and more.

LS Cable plans to strengthen ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management through the commercialization of electrical safety-related technologies and contribute to the creation of an ESG ecosystem in society. An LS Cable official stated, “Electrical factors such as leakage, overload, overcurrent, and cable damage are the leading causes of fires in Korea,” adding, “There is active demand for introduction especially in data centers, petrochemical plants, hospitals, and traditional markets, where large-scale power outages and fires can cause significant economic losses and casualties.”
