Siheung City (Mayor Lim Byung-taek) announced that it has successfully completed a pilot project to build an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart fire alarm system in two traditional markets (Sammi Market and Doil Market).
The city established a system capable of preemptively responding to large-scale fires, such as early detection of fires and initial response, by introducing Internet of Things (IoT)-based fire alarms to existing traditional markets, which are vulnerable to fires due to their aging facilities or high density of small-scale fires. Currently, the pilot operation (5.6.~7.29.) has been terminated and is operating normally.
The fire alarm system built in the traditional market detects flame, smoke, and temperature three types of fire sources, and when a fire source is detected for each store, the control center sends a text message and a phone call to the store owner to promptly and accurately convey the fire situation. plays a role This made it possible to monitor the fire 3 hours a day, 365 days a year through the monitoring of expert personnel at the control center.
