MGEN Solution's AI Fire Detection and Suppression System Selected for Government Innovative Products Pilot Purchase Project

AI disaster safety technology company MGEN Solution announced on the 4th that Alpha Shot, the AI fire detection and suppression system of its subsidiary Hyundai Infracore, has been selected for the Public Procurement Service-led "2026 Pilot Purchase Project for Innovative Products for Government Agencies" and will be supplied to Korea Water Resources Corporation.

The Public Procurement Service's pilot purchase project for innovative products is a system in which products with verified technological innovativeness and public value are purchased with government funds and then pilot-tested by public institutions in real field environments. Products selected for this project can be supplied through private contracts without separate competitive bidding.

Alpha Shot, selected as an innovative product, is an intelligent fire response system that integrates AI-based fire detection, assessment, and automatic suppression functions, and minimizes blind spots by combining thermal imaging, ultraviolet, and infrared sensors. In the event of a fire, it identifies the ignition point within 30 seconds and automatically sprays extinguishing agents, while transmitting related information in real time to administrators and fire stations. By responding precisely only to actual fires through AI analysis, it reduces unnecessary use of extinguishing agents and secondary damage.

This selection is drawing attention amid a growing emphasis on safety management at industrial sites following the strengthening of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act. MGEN Solution is currently installing and operating Alpha Shot mainly at public institutions and private workplaces, and is expanding its application scope to logistics and manufacturing facilities, cultural facilities, waste treatment sites, and secondary battery-related workplaces.

Leveraging this pilot purchase project as a starting point, MGEN Solution plans to fully scale up its AI disaster safety business in the public sector and later expand its AI-based integrated disaster and security control business across the broader private industrial sector. According to industry sources, as of 2024, the global disaster safety industry market is estimated to be approximately 1,880 trillion won, and it continues to grow every year.

A MGEN Solution representative said, "This selection is an official recognition of Alpha Shot's technological capabilities and its potential contribution to public safety," adding, "We will further enhance its field applicability and reliability through verification at public institutions."
