MGN Solution announced on the 7th that it is promoting the commercialization of an AI (artificial intelligence)-based major accident prevention solution.


This solution detects potential accidents in the workplace in advance and helps minimize damage and respond effectively. Specifically, it integrates ▲early fire detection/suppression ▲heavy equipment accident detection/prevention ▲hazardous equipment accident detection/stop ▲PPE wearing detection/notification ▲control center operation technology.


In particular, MGN Solution's AI video analysis technology and its subsidiary Hyundai Infracore's AI fire suppression solution are applied to enable the establishment of an integrated safety system.


The Serious Accidents Punishment Act is a law that punishes management officials when workers are injured or die due to serious accidents. Due to the high level of criminal penalties such as CEO detention, according to the Korea Employers Federation last year, 95.2% of surveyed companies responded that they would ‘expand or maintain’ the scale of safety and health investments compared to the previous year, and among them, companies that answered they would expand are expected to increase investment by an average of 45.5%.


A company official explained, “According to the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, domestic disaster safety industry sales reached 43 trillion won as of 2020,” adding, “Recently, the Serious Accidents Punishment Act has been expanded to workplaces with fewer than 50 employees, adding about 800,000 companies as additional targets, and even small and medium-sized workplaces are increasing safety management investments.”


MGN Solution’s AI fire suppression solution immediately detects initial fires and automatically suppresses them using a fusion technology of flame detection (UV, IR) sensors and intelligent CCTV, preventing fire spread in advance. At the same time, it automatically guides safe evacuation routes according to the fire location and sounds alarms, further advancing the major accident prevention solution.


A company official stated, “Our subsidiary’s AI fire suppression system was recognized for its history and technological capability as the first commercialized system in Korea, and we are expanding supply mainly to government projects and resource circulation centers,” adding, “Deliveries to public institutions such as the Gangseo-gu and Eunpyeong-gu Metropolitan Resource Circulation Centers have been confirmed.”



He continued, “We will continuously expand and advance the integrated solution combining safety management and fire suppression,” and added, “We plan to contribute to protecting the lives and safety of workers in Korea and actively enter global markets such as Southeast Asia.”
