KT Leads Energy Efficiency Improvement at 190 KFC Stores
Published2019.06.10 12:12| Analyzing Energy Consumption Patterns with Big Data and AI
Optimal energy operation schedule can be suggested
KT and KFC Korea announced on the 10th that they will implement energy efficiency by applying the 'GiGA energy manager franchise' service to 190 KFC stores nationwide.
Giga Energy Manager franchise service applied
The Giga Energy Manager franchise is a solution that saves energy and increases efficiency by monitoring and controlling energy and facilities within stores in real time, based on KT's intelligent energy platform 'KT-MEG (Micro Energy Grid)'.
The solution provides an optimal energy environment by utilizing big data and AI to analyze energy consumption patterns and automatically control them.
Based on the analysis, it is also possible to achieve substantial cost savings by predicting energy usage and proposing an optimal energy operation schedule.
Clients can view the energy usage and facility status of each store at a glance through an integrated dashboard, and improve work efficiency by enabling management and control via the mobile web.
Last January, three KFC stores in the metropolitan area that piloted the Giga Energy Manager franchise service reduced their monthly electricity consumption by more than 14%.did.
In addition, automatic control of heating, cooling, and signage reduced the inconvenience of manual management for store managers, and work efficiency increased by allowing necessary personnel to focus on customer service.
In addition, food ingredients can be kept fresh through temperature control of showcases and refrigerators. In particular, if a showcase or refrigerator breaks down or malfunctions, the manager is notified in real-time via SMS, preventing the store from having to discard all ingredients at once.
KT plans to complete the introduction of the solution to 190 KFC stores nationwide by July.
Kim Young-myung, Executive Vice President of KT’s Energy Platform Business Group, stated, “Going forward, KT will contribute to energy saving and efficiency through the Giga Energy Manager franchise, which is applicable to all industries and stores in Korea,” adding, “We plan to further develop this and expand it into a solution applicable to local traditional markets and small business owners.”

KT and SME partners develop 5G RF repeaters, enhancing indoor 5G coverage.
KT has completed the development of a 5G RF repeater in collaboration with domestic small and medium-sized suppliers and integrated it with the commercial network. The RF repeater developed this time is a solution that improves 5G coverage and service quality by being installed in small indoor shadow areas where 5G base station signals have difficulty reaching, such as small buildings and underground parking lots. The key feature of the newly developed 5G RF repeater is that it performs digital signal processing for 5G signal relaying and base station synchronization extraction functions necessary for relay signal transmission/reception switching on a single integrated digital board. The integrated digital board supports precise filtering of wireless signals and output control functions, making it possible to meet 5G equipment specification requirements that were difficult to achieve with conventional analog methods.
