ABH (CEO Aram Han) participated in the Future Innovation Tech Expo 2024 (FIX 2024), held at EXCO from October 23 to 26. The company showcased its AI-powered road infrastructure diagnostic solution, SafeTrack-X.
Founded in 2018, ABH initially focused on building smart factories and supplying AI and big data-driven smart systems to manufacturing sites. The company has spearheaded advancements in manufacturing by enhancing operational efficiency and process optimization. ABH has consistently conducted national research projects and developed proprietary technologies, evolving into a comprehensive SI/AI solutions provider for SMEs and expanding AI applications into diverse fields, including culture, content, agriculture, and food.
Key national projects include vision systems for transferring manufacturing know-how, done-in-one monitoring and defect detection systems for metal additive manufacturing, and intelligent logistics operation systems. ABH has conducted R&D in non-manufacturing fields on VR-based virtual art galleries and a Korean-German collaborative project, SafeTrack-X, under the GAIA-X ecosystem. These efforts aim to operationalize R&D outputs into practical services.
As an AI/SI-focused company, ABH emphasizes projects tied to government initiatives over standalone B2B operations. The company manages annual R&D projects valued at approximately 2 billion KRW, focusing on smart and autonomous factory development, manufacturing data standardization, AI analytics, and industrial safety solutions.
At FIX 2024, ABH introduced SafeTrack-X, a vision AI-based infrastructure diagnostic solution. This system improves conventional manual reporting methods for road infrastructure management by automating data analysis and quantification using vision AI. It generates labeled datasets with bounding boxes on damaged sections, providing quantified data for targeted management.
When integrated with GPS sensors, SafeTrack-X collects metadata, enabling real-time location tracking of damages via map-based web and app interfaces. The advanced solution offers statistical analysis by section, further enhancing infrastructure management.
ABH plans to expand into Europe, targeting Germany’s Hamburg as the first collaborative city for SafeTrack-X. The company aims to extend its reach across Germany and, ultimately, throughout Europe.
FIX 2024 featured specialized exhibitions, conferences, and business programs focusing on mobility, robotics, AI, and startups. The Daegu International Future Auto & Mobility Expo 2024 at EXCO’s East Wing showcased trends in UAM, autonomous driving, batteries, components, and services. Meanwhile, the 2024 ICT Convergence Expo Korea, held in the West Wing, exhibited AI, big data, blockchain, ICT, and metaverse technologies. The 2024 Daegu Robot Expo displayed industrial robots, humanoid robots, and digital transformation solutions for the robotics industry. The “Startup Arena” was introduced to facilitate meetings between startups and experts from startup accelerators like Samsung C-Lab and Plug and Play.
