Alchera is developing an indoor fire detection solution. This solution is developed based on Alchera’s ‘Fire Scout’ technology, which detects forest fires in advance through smoke rising from the mountains, and AI data construction know-how.
Currently, Fire Scout is applied to more than 300 CCTVs in California, USA, and is detecting forest fires with a recognition accuracy of 99%.
As the smoke detection learning of ‘Fire Scout’ is advanced, Alchera plans to apply it to indoor environments so that it can be used in various fields. In fact, ‘PG&E (Pacific Gas and Electric Company)’, the largest power company in the western United States, and the Santa Clara County Fire Safety Association are also using ‘Fire Scout’. Alchera Data Science Headquarters is currently actively building learning data through field experiments using smoke generating devices in closed spaces and actual indoor fire video data.
Alchera’s ‘Artificial Intelligence Indoor Fire Detection Solution’ is expected to be developed for commercialization within the first half of next year. Once this solution is commercialized, it can be applied to various sites where there is a high risk of damage to property and life from fire, such as warehouses, parking lots, and car interiors. In fact, Alchera provided an artificial intelligence detection solution for fires and outsider intrusions within KEPCO facilities through a demonstration project in 2019.
Young-gyu Hwang, CEO of Alchera, said, “We have been able to prove the practicality of artificial intelligence smoke and fire recognition technology through video by creating successful application cases of the forest fire detection solution ‘Fire Scout’ overseas,” and added, “We have developed this indoor fire detection solution. “We will do our best to advance related technologies to prevent fire damage occurring in Korea.”
