LG Electronics to Launch U+ Video Security Solution in August
Digitalization of tasks such as visual control and direct patrols
Minimizing Blind Spots with 5G-Based Mobile Cameras


LG U+ announced on the 30th that it will be building the 'U+ Intelligent Video Security Solution' at LG Electronics' Cheongju plant and begin operating it at one location starting in August.

The new solution is a system that digitally transforms tasks such as CCTV visual control and direct patrol using ICT technologies such as 5G and AI.

Specifically, it provides functions such as △facility abnormality notification △abnormal temperature detection △detection of non-wearing of hard hat △detection of access to dangerous areas △facial recognition access control, etc. to increase the work efficiency of safety managers.

An LG U+ official explained, “If steam, smoke, or flames are generated due to equipment abnormalities such as pipe damage, the control center can immediately detect them,” and “We can also monitor temperature changes in high-temperature equipment such as outdoor incinerator tanks with thermal imaging cameras to detect abnormal changes in advance.”

The water vapor generated when a pipe is damaged is often difficult to detect through image analysis alone, but the new solution complements this with sound source analysis technology. When a suspicious noise due to a steam leak occurs, a camera placed nearby can be rotated toward the pipe along with an alarm to detect an accident occurring in the camera's blind spot.

It also helps ensure a safe working environment for workers. Video analysis can be used to constantly verify that all workers within the factory are wearing hard hats, and can also control access to pre-defined risk areas or the operation of specific equipment.

To enhance worker safety, LG U+ plans to deploy 5G-based mobile, high-definition cameras throughout its facilities. These cameras will be deployed in locations where wired CCTV installation is difficult, such as outdoor or indoor temporary work sites, and will use video analysis to enhance on-site safety.

Advanced facial recognition allows for the management of unregistered personnel entering and exiting secure areas. All of the new solution's features are available on mobile devices, along with a single, integrated control program, enhancing usability.
