- SeAH Besteel developed a safety system with Everguard after analyzing more than 6 million steel plant scenarios.
- The company plans to extend the system across steelmaking and large-scale forging operations by the first half of 2027.
- Safety investment has reached about KRW 250 billion since 2023, according to the company.
SeAH Besteel said on Monday, November 9, 2026, that it had developed an artificial intelligence safety system for steel manufacturing sites with U.S. technology company Everguard. The system is designed to detect hazardous situations and support faster intervention at the company's plants.
According to Financial News, SeAH Besteel and Everguard analyzed more than 6 million situations from steel production sites over four years and conducted field validation. The system connects with programmable logic controllers to combine equipment activity with worker locations.
Rollout targets steelmaking operations
SeAH Besteel plans to divide core processes at its Gunsan and Changnyeong plants into 250 zones. Installation and stabilization are scheduled for the first half of 2027, with steelmaking and large-scale forging among the first operations targeted.
The system can alert workers when they approach an active hazard area and can predict crane travel paths to warn of possible collisions or falling-object accidents. The company also plans to add a function that can stop equipment automatically when it detects a serious hazard.
SeAH Besteel said it has invested about KRW 250 billion in safety infrastructure since 2023. The spending includes safety facilities, an integrated safety, health and environmental management system, a dedicated safety organization and a safety experience center.
