[INQ. NO. 2407E04] sPresto Co., Ltd., a cybersecurity company, introduced a digital emergency bell solution at the 13th Smart Tech Korea 2024.
Existing mechanical emergency bells installed in restrooms and other places for crime prevention had limitations in maintenance and monitoring after installation. Most dispatches were due to malfunctions, which were also identified as a waste of police resources.
sPresto developed a solution targeting the ‘simplification’ of such emergency bells. The exhibited product is a large plate made of acrylic with a built-in NFC chip. When an emergency occurs, an alarm is sent by turning on the NFC function of a smartphone and holding it close.
The control room can check the address and location within the building of the emergency bell that received the report, and through a phone connection, it is possible to assess the detailed situation and provide counseling to stabilize the reporter’s emotions until the field agent arrives.

A spokesperson for the company explained, “Although emergency bells have been mandated to be installed in public restrooms, there have been questions raised about whether mechanical emergency bells can fulfill their role due to their limitations,” adding, “This solution is a plate-shaped product with an NFC chip that can be attached to the wall using double-sided tape on the back, and only the outer surface can be maintained.”
Since everything from installation to maintenance is simpler than existing methods, introduction and operating costs can also be reduced. The company can provide the product in various forms to suit the installation environment, such as acrylic, outdoor, night, and aluminum.
“We are an AI startup that is working hard with one goal in mind: to make everyone feel safe again. We want to restore the value of safety that has been damaged by technology through technology,” the company’s CEO emphasized.
