Video Platform Integrating HVMP and Servers
Simultaneous Processing of Thousands of CCTV Channel Images

Hyosung Information Systems announced that it has supported the construction of a smart farm at Cherry Buro, the first in Korea, through its expertise in data and infrastructure and collaboration with various companies including poultry breeders and Realhub in the video big data sector.

Hyosung Information Systems has completed the construction of a smart farm video surveillance and analysis platform for Cherry Buro, a company selected for support under the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs' 'Quarantine Infrastructure Installation for Farms' program, which Cherry Buro is implementing with poultry breeders to manage avian influenza quarantine and overall rearing environment management at contract poultry farms.

Cherry Buro recognized the necessity of introducing high-performance and stable infrastructure capable of integrated management and support for approximately 250 cooperative poultry farms from a central integrated support center to prevent avian influenza that occurs every year and prevent its spread. After evaluating various functions such as video storage, display, recognition, and monitoring within a single system, Hyosung Information Systems was selected in the integrated video surveillance system sector.
Hyosung Information Systems' HVMP (Hitachi Video Management Platform), which forms the basis of this integrated smart surveillance system, is a video platform that integrates servers, storage, networks, and virtualization solutions. It can simultaneously process images from thousands of CCTV channels and guarantees uninterrupted operations through automatic failover functionality.

Based on HVMP, Hyosung Information Systems possesses know-how in building intelligent video analysis platforms that consolidate the strengths of each company through close collaboration with various partners including poultry breeders and Realhub. In particular, through in-depth discussions on practical livestock experience and accumulated expertise possessed by poultry breeders, ideas for smart farm implementation, and Broiler Total Management System (BTMS) matters, this expertise was reflected in platform development, making it possible to meet the integrated management requirements of poultry farms.

Through this project, Cherry Buro, which has built smart video surveillance and analysis infrastructure, is expected to be able to more efficiently prevent avian influenza and block its spread by confirming the overall rearing environment of poultry farms in real-time from the integrated surveillance center and enabling immediate vehicle access control in case of emergency.

During normal times, the system supports contract poultry farms in conveniently managing the overall rearing environment based on mobile devices, including maintaining optimal temperature and humidity, disaster detection, and chicken shipment, thereby improving the efficiency of poultry process management while also expecting improved quality of produced chickens. Furthermore, through collection and analysis of IoT and video data generated during the poultry process, it has become possible to derive big data-based insights that can help improve the efficiency and productivity of poultry farm operations.

In particular, through HVMP, the core of this integrated smart surveillance system, it is now possible to conduct integrated analysis of all IoT and video data from poultry farms, rapidly understand the situation when avian influenza occurs to immediately set the radius of risk areas, and analyze the movement paths of all incoming and outgoing vehicles to actively prevent additional avian influenza spread.

Furthermore, through this, when avian influenza occurs, the plan is to help staff at contract poultry farms receive real-time alarms about the occurrence area and its distance from the farm, registered vehicles that have visited the occurrence area, and warnings about vehicles heading to risk areas, enabling them to receive practical avian influenza quarantine benefits.
Kim Kang-heung, Managing Director of Cherry Buro's Strategic Planning Office, stated, "While existing IT systems had many limitations in terms of scalability and stability, Hyosung Information Systems' HVMP enables flexible computing utilization based on virtualized resources, offering advantages such as high performance, availability, and scalability," and added, "We anticipate being able to complete testing and operation of this smart quarantine and poultry infrastructure for approximately 70 farms by the end of the year."

Park Seong-yong, Representative Director of Yanggyein, said, "While the term 'smart farm' exists, it has been difficult to find cases where it has been properly utilized in Korea so far," and stated, "Yanggyein will continue to contribute to avian influenza prevention through the dissemination of video surveillance platforms for quarantine management and BTMS to domestic integration operators, and aims to contribute to improving poultry farms and productivity by incorporating IoT and analyzing the connectivity between generated data."

Jung Tae-soo, Representative Director of Hyosung Information Systems, said, "The integrated video surveillance platform that Hyosung Information Systems provided support for in this smart farm infrastructure project was completed through collaboration with domestic solution companies," and added, "Through a joint value creation process with customers and partners from the initial stages of the project, we have established an integrated video surveillance platform partner ecosystem, and based on HVMP that is fully compatible with third-party hardware and software, we were able to build solutions optimized for customers' diverse business requirements."

He further stated, "Going forward, through collaboration within the partner ecosystem, we will continue to refine and enhance integrated video surveillance platforms based on video intelligence and IoT to lead the related industry."
