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

[INQ. NO. 2404E05] At the 23rd International Security Exhibition & Conference (SECON 2024), an output leak-blocking solution for the security of document leaks was presented by Anysell Co., Ltd.
This solution consists of security paper, a security output sensor, and a security gate. The security paper that forms the basis of the solution has patterns engraved on its surface like Korean paper.
With the alloy wire mixed at the pulp stage, the general paper is processed into the so-called ‘electronically sensitive’ security paper.
The security output sensor is installed in the multifunctional device. It separates security paper from regular paper and controls technology and information to be printed only on the security paper. When the regular paper is fed in, it controls the fed-paper to be printed as blank paper without any contents.
If an attempt is made to secretly leak the security paper with the technology and information printed on it, the security gate detects the alloy wire contained in the security paper and generates an alarm sound. Detecting not only in clothing but also in bags and shoe soles is possible.

In addition to basic paper sizes such as A4 and A3, customization is possible in special sizes for printing drawings. They can be attached in the form of stickers to reagents or parts in the laboratory, and there have been cases of producing research notes.
“Technology and information leaks are occurring in various ways through paper documents. Various types of leaks are occurring including taking out one to two documents, putting documents back after copying those documents,” explained a senior manager of the company.
He went on to say, “In current times, we are moving into a paperless era, but paper documents unavoidably have to be produced, and if we focus only on digital security, leaks are likely to be happen. We think the solution could be considered as the final stage of blocking the leaks of technology and information.

[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.
