KISTEC Declares Strengthened Safety Management... DigitalPresso’s ‘Rename DP’ Emerges as a Low-Cost, High-Efficiency Solution

Small-scale construction sites with a budget of less than 5 billion KRW account for a significant portion of construction accidents in Korea. To address this, the government is taking direct action. The Korea Institute of Construction Safety Technology (KISTEC) recently announced measures to strengthen safety management, centered on introducing "Patrol Consulting" and providing smart safety equipment free of charge.

However, industry experts agree that "simply expanding inspections has its limits." Small sites often lack dedicated safety personnel and do not have the capacity to handle complex paperwork and data management.

■ "Smaller Sites Need Easier and Faster 'Digital Weapons'"

The core of KISTEC’s measures includes "supporting smart equipment" and "distributing checklists for high-risk work types." However, no matter how good a checklist is, if it remains manual, it only adds to the administrative burden of the site.

This is where DigitalPresso presents a solution through 'Rename DP,' optimized specifically for small-scale sites.

Efficiency Beyond Smart Equipment: While the AI CCTVs supported by KISTEC act as "eyes that watch," Rename DP acts as "intelligence that records" in the hands of workers. Without expensive specialized equipment, workers can simply use their smartphones to film high-risk processes like excavation or concrete pouring. The AI then instantly digitizes the compliance status of safety regulations.

Automation of Checklists: The risk-specific checklists developed and distributed by KISTEC can be integrated into the Rename DP platform. When a site worker takes a photo, the AI automatically evaluates compliance for each item and generates a report. This enables flawless safety management even amidst the chronic manpower shortages typical of small sites.

Responding to Patrol Consulting with Data: During unannounced "Patrol Consulting" visits, the transparent construction data accumulated through Rename DP serves as the most reliable evidence to prove the site’s level of safety management.

■ Closing the Digital Divide is the Beginning of Construction Safety

The reason small sites have been more vulnerable to accidents than large ones is not a lack of technology, but a lack of the "resources" to implement it. DigitalPresso is focusing on closing this "digital divide."

A representative from DigitalPresso stated, "In line with the government's push to strengthen safety management, we are providing Vision AI solutions that small sites can adopt without a heavy cost burden. Rename DP will innovatively reduce complex administrative procedures, creating an environment where site managers can focus solely on 'human safety'."

When the government's meticulous institutional support meets DigitalPresso’s innovative AI technology, small construction sites will finally be able to shed the label of "accident-prone areas" and transform into smart, safe zones.
