KT installed 105 fire detectors at 20 tenant companies under the “2026 Namdong Industrial Complex AIoT Fire Detector Installation Support Project,” led by the Incheon Regional Headquarters of the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation.

The project was carried out in cooperation with LDT, a company specializing in fire detection technology.

Safemate detects various signs of fire, including flames, smoke, high temperatures, and sudden temperature rises. Drawing on tens of thousands of detection records accumulated at sites, its AI analyzes abnormal signals to assess the likelihood of an actual fire. The KT control center verifies detected signs of fire, alerts on-site personnel, and supports follow-up measures, including automatic calls to 119.

KT plans to add a feature that uses AI to detect and analyze abnormal electrical arcs in electrical equipment. The company also plans to expand Safemate beyond traditional markets and public facilities to industrial complexes with a high concentration of manufacturing plants, and to further develop fire safety services tailored to industrial sites.
