LDT Partners with Empol on 3D Digital Twin-Integrated Industrial Safety Management Platform Collaboration

KOSDAQ-listed company LDT is partnering with 3D digital twin-based integrated control specialist Empol to enter the integrated management platform business, linking industrial site safety management data with three-dimensional spatial information.

On September 10, LDT announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Empol for collaboration in the industrial safety integrated management platform business. This agreement aims to combine LDT's AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) composite sensors and wireless communication infrastructure with Empol's 3D digital twin control technology, in order to create joint business opportunities in both the business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-government (B2G) markets.

The two companies will divide roles by leveraging their respective core technologies. LDT is responsible for supplying and installing site-customized composite sensors—covering fire, temperature, humidity, and gas—as well as LoRa wireless repeaters (gateways), and will provide an integrated management platform interface for linking the collected data. Empol will support 3D digital twin-based integrated control software, along with user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) visualization integration.

When both companies’ technologies are combined, it will be possible to map abnormal signs and equipment status occurring at industrial sites in real time with three-dimensional spatial information. This setup will allow managers to do more than simply monitor sensor data; they will be able to identify the location and nature of hazards three-dimensionally and respond effectively.

The companies will also jointly promote the commercialization of the platform. By utilizing each other's sales channels, LDT and Empol plan to jointly identify B2B and B2G projects in industrial complexes, manufacturing facilities, and public infrastructure, and will conduct cross-selling and joint marketing. Their strategy is to boost market competitiveness by proposing a unified package that combines sensor hardware, communication infrastructure, and 3D control software.

They will also pursue cross-business opportunities targeting existing customers. LDT will connect Empol’s 3D digital twin technology to LDT customer sites, while Empol will introduce LDT’s sensors, gateways, and integrated management platform to Empol’s customer sites.

LDT is expanding its business domain in the industrial safety market based on its proven AIoT-based sensor and wireless communication infrastructure. Recently, the company received the Minister of the Interior and Safety Award at the "2026 Korea Safety Technology Awards," which was hosted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, for its "AIoT Early Fire Detection Device and Smart Alarm Control System" technology.

Currently, LDT operates more than 68,000 detectors across industrial facilities, traditional markets, and public institutions nationwide, giving the company extensive references and operational know-how. By integrating Empol's 3D spatial visualization technology, LDT plans to build an industrial safety integrated management platform that allows monitoring and control of on-site risk factors on a single screen.

Jungjun Kim, CEO of LDT, said, "The value of industrial safety data is maximized when it is directly tied to immediate on-site action, rather than just being collected," and added, "By adding 3D spatial visualization technology to LDT’s proven AIoT infrastructure, we will provide an innovative safety management solution that enables rapid identification and response to on-site hazards."
