Axis Builds Smart Cities with Thermal Cameras
Published2017.06.27 09:56Axis Communications (www.axis.com) announced a case study of building a smart city using Axis network cameras.
The city of Houston, Texas was selected as the host city for Super Bowl LI, and decided to strengthen city security in preparation for the many tourists and Super Bowl fans who would visit the city. The Super Bowl event was primarily held at Discovery Green, located in the center of Houston, and its surrounding areas.
The existing network cameras used by Houston had the problem of partially obstructed field of view, so to maintain public safety, the AXIS Q1942-E thermal camera and AXIS Q6155-E PTZ network camera were installed on top of tall buildings throughout the city. With the PTZ camera, it was possible to survey the entire city, and when necessary, utilize the zoom function to obtain detailed video information.
Additionally, the AXIS F44 main unit was installed at the entrance to the event venue, and the AXIS F4005-E sensor unit was installed at the metal detector.
Houston constructed a stable video transmission network by installing optical fiber from Discovery Green to the GRB Center to ensure smooth transmission of video from the network cameras. Through the deployment of network cameras, the city successfully managed the complex urban environment and hosted the Super Bowl event.
By utilizing the video surveillance system, incidents occurring at the event venue could be identified and safety personnel could be deployed quickly. Additionally, by leveraging video analytics capabilities, the city improved public service efficiency and established a technological platform for sustained urban safety.
Kim Sang-joon, General Director of Sales at Axis Korea, stated, "Interest and investment in smart cities have been consistently increasing in recent years. Axis has collaborated with departments responsible for urban public safety for over 15 years and contributed to protecting citizen safety. Based on this experience, we will actively respond to the growing demand for smart cities going forward."

FLIR Launches Exx Series Thermal Imaging Cameras
FLIR Systems Korea has launched three new Exx-series advanced thermal imaging cameras for electrical, mechanical, and building-related applications: FLIR E75, E85, and E95. The newly designed Exx-series with Wi-Fi connectivity offers smart interchangeable lenses, laser autofocus mode and area measurement functionality, along with a larger and more vibrant 4-inch touchscreen, and incorporates FLIR's enhanced proprietary MSX imaging technology. Based on FLIR's unique features, improved thermal sensing capability, and baseline resolution, the new Exx-series enables professionals to identify hot spots or defects inside and outside buildings before minor potential issues escalate into costly major repairs. In redesigning the Exx-series, FLIR developed interchangeable lenses that the camera can automatically recognize and compensate for, eliminating the need for manual user adjustment. Additionally, the Exx-series is equipped with laser distance measurement functionality that ensures accurate distance measurement. In particular, the FLIR E85 and E95 models provide data that allows area measurement directly on the device screen in square feet or square meters. The FLIR E85 and E95 models offer enhanced thermal detector resolution of up to 464×348 (161,472 pixels) and are capable of temperature measurement up to a maximum of 1,500°C.

The Problem with AI is Not Performance, but Trust
CEO Kang Min-seung emphasized at Snowflake's World Tour Seoul that generative AI has entered a phase where "trust" rather than accuracy becomes the key competitive advantage. As AI is applied to various tasks including consultation, risk management, and operational automation, incorrect data, erroneous responses, and bias are creating actual business risks. He pointed out that enterprises must build a trust layer above AI. To achieve this, accurate data management, semantic structuring, governance, and prompt security are essential. He explained that AI is not merely an automation tool but a technology that reorganizes the entire organization's workflows and decision-making systems. Snowflake provides a platform that supports this trust-based AI operation, emphasizing that enterprises should build "trustworthy AI" rather than "intelligent AI."

The Decisive Factor for AI Agents in Finance: "Trustworthy Data Infrastructure"
The key to spreading AI agents in the financial sector is establishing a trustworthy data system. KB Kookmin Bank is operating over 100 AI agents by 2025 and is promoting expansion to 300. AI is automating repetitive tasks across various areas such as consultation, risk management, wealth management, and relationship management. However, if data quality, governance, and semantic structuring are insufficient, errors and risks increase. KB is building an AI-Ready organization through a multi-model strategy of GPT, Gemini, and Claude, as well as a Snowflake-based data system. The bank emphasized that AI has entered a phase where it restructures not just simple automation but the entire work process and decision-making system.
