Mgen Solution Proves Outstanding Performance of AI Fire Detection and Suppression 'Explosion-Proof Alpha Shot' in Explosion Test View original image

Hyundai Infra Core, a subsidiary of Mgen Solution specializing in artificial intelligence (AI) disaster safety solutions, announced on September 30 that its explosion-proof "Alpha Shot" system has successfully completed recent explosion and suppression tests.


The test was conducted by injecting gas into a container structure and intentionally triggering an explosion. As a result, the product continued to operate normally without any malfunctions despite the explosion, and the fire was extinguished safely and effectively.


The explosion-proof Alpha Shot was developed for delivery to automotive painting factories, where the use of paint and the generation of dust create a high risk of explosions in the event of a fire. For this reason, an explosion-proof design was applied during the experiment.


While the explosion-proof Alpha Shot shares the same basic structure and functions as the existing product, it features an added protective head cover. This design ensures that the internal components remain undamaged and fully functional even during an explosion.


Alpha Shot is an AI-based automatic fire suppression system that integrates infrared detection, control algorithms, and data transmission capabilities. Upon fire detection, it identifies the ignition point within 30 seconds, simultaneously sends out alarms, and automatically discharges extinguishing agents. Immediate notifications are also sent to administrators and the relevant fire department, enabling a rapid response.


Additionally, by utilizing thermal imaging cameras and AI video analysis technology, the system can accurately pinpoint the location of a fire. Its 360-degree rotation feature allows it to detect and suppress fires within a 50-meter radius, ensuring there are no blind spots.


An official from Mgen Solution stated, "Through this test, we confirmed that the Alpha Shot head is safely protected even in explosion scenarios, and its ability to detect and suppress fires has been proven. Since the implementation of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, public concern over fire safety has increased, and we will continue to respond actively to related inquiries."



Meanwhile, Alpha Shot was recently designated as an innovative prototype by the Public Procurement Service. As a result, public institutions can make priority purchases based on the Public Procurement Business Act and related regulations. The product can be supplied through private contracts without separate competitive bidding, helping secure initial sales channels and references.
