Advanced information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure will be introduced at the Sinpyeong–Jangnim Industrial Complex (now Seobusan Smart Valley), the oldest industrial complex in the Busan area.
The city of Busan said on the 15th that it will launch the Seobusan Smart Valley integrated control center construction project to convert Seobusan Smart Valley into a smart industrial complex based on advanced ICT.
Seobusan Smart Valley is Busan's first industrial complex, created in 1984.
According to the city of Busan, the complex was selected for the 2024 Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy Smart Green Industrial Complex Promotion Project competition. Accordingly, it plans to invest 9 billion won (6 billion won in national funds and 3 billion won in city funds) to complete the construction of the integrated control center by the end of this year.
The integrated control center will be pursued in the areas of public safety and disaster safety. For public safety, intelligent closed-circuit (CC)TVs will be installed at 83 locations within the industrial complex to automatically identify abnormal behaviors such as violence, loitering, and collapse, as well as risk situations like fires and traffic accidents. In addition, a smart parking system will be introduced to provide real-time vehicle speed and parking information.
For disaster safety, flame detection sensors and atmospheric environment monitoring CCTVs will be installed to detect fires and monitor the environment with a single camera.
Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon said, "The Seobusan Smart Valley integrated control center construction project aims not only to enhance the competitiveness of the industrial complex but also to create a safe and pleasant industrial environment that workers and residents can feel."
