SeAH Besteel, together with Everguard, an AI- and vision-based safety solution company, has analyzed and verified about 6 million situations that occur at steel sites over the past four years.
Through this, we have accumulated AI safety data unique to the steel process, and we plan to subdivide the core process into 250 zones and complete solution construction and stabilization at major sites at the Gunsan and Changnyeong plants by the first half of next year.
This solution selectively sounds an alarm when a worker approaches a hazardous area where the facility is operating, predicts the crane's movement path, and preemptively delivers a warning to prevent accidents.
SeAH Besteel plans to upgrade the solution in the future and expand the scope of safety management to the 'control' stage, which stops facility operation when a major risk is detected.
A SeAH Besteel official said, "As we have completed the AI safety solution that is perfect for the steel process, we will complete the expansion of the application to major plants in the first half of next year without a hitch and make every effort to advance safety management."
