AI Breaker Solution

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2404E03] Artificial intelligence (AI) is also being introduced in the field of social safety, and ‘smart cities’ are being created everywhere.
Amano Korea Co., Ltd. introduced an AI breaker solution at SECON 2024. This solution is based on AI object- and person- detection technology installed in CCTV. First, when a pedestrian traffic light shows a red no-walking signal, the blocking bar operates to block traffic. If a pedestrian attempts to jaywalk, the system recognizes the movement and issues a warning through a speaker.
The same applies to vehicles. When the traffic light changes to yellow, it recognizes vehicles approaching the crosswalk and sends out the same warning broadcast.
The solution comes in the form of two products –a product that includes a traffic light, and another that only has a blocking function, so it can be used according to conditions such as around existing traffic lights or for new installations.
A spokesperson for the company explained, “We applied the know-how gained from developing and operating existing parking control solutions,” adding “It is a solution that goes beyond security to provide protection. We plan to supply it to local governments starting this year, targeting places where parents and guardians need to walk, including children’s protection areas.”

Founded in 1996 as a Korean subsidiary of Amano, a global parking company, Amano Korea has succeeded in localizing 100% of its parking-control products, and exports its products and solutions to Japan, Europe, the Americas, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.
In particular, it provides the best parking solution created by combining Japanese mechanical technology with Korean IT technology. Amano Korea’s competitiveness and differentiation strategy are the hardware with the best safety and durability, and the system with the best software specialized in the field.
Smart technology-oriented changes are taking place in parking lots such as parking control systems, parking guidance/video location systems, and camera-based security solutions. Amano Korea is leading the market based on its technology to develop and produce all these systems, and is developing various related businesses, including smart parking systems, with parking lots as a platform.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Security Solution

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2404E02] DEEPNOI’s artificial intelligence (AI) security solution is software that detects registered items by introducing an artificial intelligence reading system (S/W) to X-ray equipment. DEEPNOI provides ‘SkyMARU DEEP:SECURITY,’ an automatic aviation-security X-ray reading solution, and ‘DEEP:Security,’ an automatic corporate-security X-ray reading solution.

SkyMARU DEEP:SECURITY: Aviation security X-ray automatic reading solution
SkyMARU DEEP:SECURITY was developed jointly with the Korea Airports Corporation and assists security personnel in visual reading by quickly and accurately detecting prohibited items on board. It detects more than 20 types of items prohibited from being carried on board as notified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT). DEEPNOID has actual references for the detected items – in collaboration with the Korea Airports Corporation.

DEEP:Security: Corporate security X-ray automatic-reading solution
DEEP:Security uses AI to automatically identify items at risk of information leaks, such as USBs, smartphones, and storage devices, when passing through security checkpoints, and thus assists security guards in their reading tasks. It is easy to apply to fields that require security upon entry, such as institutions and private companies. Excellent scalability allows users to add or delete desired detection-items according to companies’ characteristics.
When passing through the security checkpoint, AI automatically detects hidden items in the bag. The location of the dangerous items is displayed in the shape of a box, and a related message alert notifies you of the item. The two solutons detect a bag quickly in continuous baggage video with a cycle of one second per bag image, and consistently provides reading accuracy at a high level of approximately 95%. This makes it possible to build an efficient security workflow.

DEEPNOID Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in AI software. The company was listed on the KOSDAQ in 2021 in recognition of its expertise and technology in the AI field based on its excellent R&D capabilities.
DEEPNOID is carrying out business in various areas such as smart factory and medical care, starting with the security AI industry – under the vision of ‘Through AI, We make your life wider, bolder and clearer.’

Cuckoo Electronics Launches Steam Shot Large-capacity Dishwasher

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2403E17] Cuckoo Electronics Co., Ltd., a comprehensive health home appliance company, announced that it recently launched the 14-person steam shot large-capacity dishwasher, which can clean up to 110 large and small dishes with steam at up to 120 degrees C.
Cuckoo Electronics applied ultra-high temperature steam technology for more thorough dishwashing to the new product. By incorporating the know-how gained from developing a 100˚C boiled water purifier, the new dishwasher powerfully sprays up to 120˚C steam (based on the discharge port). Through this, it not only removes dried grease and rice grains, but also sterilizes 99.999% of various bacteria such as escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus, which are major causes of food poisoning.

Employing a powerful cleaning system to provide thorough cleaning
In particular, the new product uses a powerful five-layer, three-dimensional cleaning system to provide thorough cleaning without blind spots. Featuring powerful washing nozzles at the top, middle, and bottom, a three-dimensional water spray is carried out through a vertical spray in the middle and a swirl nozzle at the bottom to clean dishes without blind spots. After the cleaning process is completed, the remaining moisture is effectively removed with hot air at 100˚C, and internal moisture and odors are discharged through the automatic door opening drying function. Finally, the blowing function removes any remaining moisture and odor, and if additional drying is needed, users can additionally select the ‘Strong Dry’ program.
The tray is also efficiently designed for optimal dishwashing and drying. To increase space utilization, the flexible three-tier basket can secure space in the middle basket by sliding the top basket to the left when necessary. In addition, the height of the middle basket can be adjusted with just one touch, so it can store large pots, and the bottom basket is equipped with a folding stand so that it can be used according to the situation. With this efficient use of space, it is possible to store up to 110 large and small dishes for 14 people and then wash them.
A spokesperson for the company explained, “To help consumers escape the dishwashing burden, we have launched the steam shot large-capacity dishwasher that can wash up to 110 large and small dishes.”
