[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seoyun] Video security solution company Hanwha Techwin announced that it will enter the smart parking business using its own platform.

On the 29th, Hanwha Techwin announced that it held a "Smart Parking Showcase" at the 63 Convention Center in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, the previous day. About 100 customers, including leading domestic construction companies, building and apartment management companies, and related equipment operators, as well as about 100 system integration (SI) partners and design-related personnel attended the showcase.

At the event, Hanwha Techwin introduced its smart parking solution and dedicated application "MOPL (Modu-ui Salme Peullaseuda)." Based on vision and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies accumulated through its video security business, the company plans to enter the smart parking business by utilizing differentiated parking systems and platforms. The solution consists of a smart parking platform, parking control system, and parking guidance and management system.

The smart parking platform includes three types: ▲a smartphone app exclusively for residents ▲a management web/app exclusively for the management office ▲an app exclusively for the security office. Each app supports optimized convenience services and operational management for users.

The parking control system manages vehicle entry and exit. It consists of a license plate recognition device, parking barrier, visitor intercom, and auxiliary license plate recognition camera. Since the system recognizes vehicle numbers based on AI, it has high accuracy. By applying a cloud-based control server, issues such as on-site server failure, repair, and replacement are eliminated. If a system problem occurs, quick remote after-service support is possible.

The parking guidance system provides parking status (full/available) information when a vehicle enters the parking space through the parking control system. It efficiently supports event search and resolution for accidents that may occur in the parking lot through omnidirectional high-resolution video monitoring and storage that minimizes blind spots.

A partner who attended the showcase said, "There were high expectations for Hanwha Techwin's newly launched smart parking solution," adding, "After attending the showcase, it seems that not only the technological strengths Hanwha Techwin possesses but also the systems to be expanded through this have sufficient competitiveness."

Hanwha Techwin plans to first pre-launch the smart parking solution targeting the apartment market, considering Korea's residential environment. It also announced plans to gradually enhance platform competitiveness and expand into the commercial market.
