Preventing EV Fires with AI Technology: 'The Keeper' Unveils New Safety Solution
Recently, the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) has been rapidly increasing in South Korea, but at the same time, public anxiety regarding EV fires is also growing. To address this issue, new fire prevention solutions utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) technology are gaining attention.
'The Keeper,' a company specializing in disaster safety, will participate in the upcoming 'FIRE TECH KOREA 2026' to showcase 'EV Keeper,' an AI-based early fire detection system for electric vehicles. This system is an advanced technology designed to detect fires in advance and facilitate immediate response.
The most significant feature of 'EV Keeper' is that it integrates fire detection and on-site response into a single seamless flow. When the AI analyzes the surroundings of an electric vehicle in real-time and detects any signs of abnormality, it immediately notifies administrators and creates an environment where quick action can be taken on-site.
This technology is expected to play a major role particularly in places where fire suppression is difficult, such as underground parking lots. Since EV fires are difficult to extinguish once they start, detecting and preventing them before they spread is crucial for reducing casualties and property damage.
Experts emphasize that the introduction of such advanced safety technologies is essential as the EV market continues to grow. As AI technology establishes itself as an important tool for protecting safety in our daily lives, it is expected to contribute to alleviating public anxiety.
