KT Installs 105 SafeMate AI Fire Detectors at Namdong Complex
The deployment covers 20 tenant companies and was run through the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation's Incheon regional office.
KT has installed 105 SafeMate AI fire detectors across 20 tenant companies at the Namdong Industrial Complex, the company announced on November 15, 2026. The work was carried out under the 2026 Namdong AIoT fire detector installation support project, run by the Incheon regional office of the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, according to digitaltoday.co.kr.
KT provided the service, communications and monitoring platform, while fire detection technology company LDT developed the detectors and the on-site systems.
The SafeMate detector identifies flames, smoke, high temperatures and rapid temperature rises, and AI analyzes the signals against accumulated detection data. When an anomaly is detected, the information is sent to KT's monitoring center, which confirms the situation, notifies on-site staff by phone and text, and supports follow-up responses including automatic 119 reporting.
Next steps
KT plans to add AI-based arc detection to SafeMate and intends to expand the service to industrial complexes with many manufacturing plants, starting with the Namdong National Industrial Complex.
KT and LDT have previously carried out related projects together at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute, traditional markets and public facilities.
