ITU, A Specialist in Smart Integrated Safety Solutions Protecting Lives by Visualizing AI-Based Video Data and IoT Sensing Integration (2025 Selected General Companies within the Region) -Protects workers' lives by visualizing integrated AI-based video data and IoT sensing technologies -Enables real time detection, notification, and recording of hazardous situations across construction, logistics, and manufacturing sites The flagship product is the ‘Smart Integrated Safety Monitoring System’, which ITU is currently providing and advancing through the following core components. First, the Complex Hazardous Gas & Environmental Monitoring Equipment measures multiple types of toxic gases and environmental conditions in real time at locations such as logistics warehouses, chemical handling facilities, and wastewater or waste treatment sites. The measured data is transmitted to the integrated control system, automatically triggering alarms and notifications when predefined thresholds are exceeded. Second, the AI-based Intelligent CCTV (Edge AI Camera) is not a mere recording device; it features AI capabilities to automatically detect anomalies such as falls, intrusions, fire-related risks, and unauthorized access to restricted danger zones. ITU pursues an on-device AI approach, where key functions are processed directly at the camera level to reduce network load and response latency. Third, the Integrated Control & Monitoring Platform provides software that centralizes data from up to eight types of gas sensors, CCTVs, and various IoT devices on a single dashboard. The system is custom-designed based on individual site layouts, enabling intuitive visualization of hazardous equipment and zones, as well as comprehensive management of alarm histories, video logs, and device status. Future expansions aim toward Digital Twin–based integration (3D virtual space-based control) and the application of Quantum-Resistant Cryptography (PQC). ITU’s core competitiveness lies in its integration capability and field-customized technology. While conventional products often operate in silos—separating gas detectors from CCTVs—ITU provides an all-in-one solution spanning from hardware (sensors) to software (control platforms). In response to strengthened workplace safety regulations, such as the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, ITU is developing systems that connect monitoring with risk prediction and emergency response manuals. Utilizing AIoT sensors, the system covers large areas with low power consumption and cost efficiency, offering both price competitiveness and technical scalability suitable for both SMEs as well as large enterprises. Regarding future plans, CEO Han stated, “In the short term, our goal is to expand our market share in the Southeast Asian smart safety market, starting with Vietnam.” He added, “Over the long term, we aim to build a ‘Fully Autonomous Safety Management System’ where AI continuously learns from field data to reduce the probability of accidents toward zero percent. ITU is committed to becoming a trusted leader in industrial safety by focusing on data that saves lives.” Date of Establishment: June 2019 Core Business: Video surveillance system design; Smart integrated safety solution services; Supply of intelligent CCTV and Edge AI cameras; Development of industrial-customized control software and System Integration (SI) Key Achievements: Deployment of a hazardous chemical alarm system at a logistics warehouse in Gwangyang, Jeonnam; Execution of multiple government R&D projects related to smart safety, AI CCTV, and IoT-based solutions; Continuous expansion of industrial safety solution references through participation in domestic and international exhibitions and conferences reporter jinho lee [email protected] © 한경매거진&북, 무단전재 및 재배포 금지
