Safety issues in industrial settings cannot be fully solved by protective gear and hazard-detection technologies alone. What determines accident prevention is workers' accurate understanding of safety managers' work instructions and training content. Recently, foreign workers and workers of diverse nationalities have increased significantly at manufacturing, construction, and shipbuilding sites in Korea and abroad.
With this shift, language barriers have emerged as a key challenge for industrial safety, and technological alternatives are drawing attention. HiWorker is a platform specialized for industrial sites that provides real-time interpretation of safety managers' work instructions and training content in multiple languages. HiWorker applies speaker-adaptive speech recognition technology.
The background to this technology lies in site environments that are noisy and filled with a wide range of accents. Unlike ordinary translation apps, HiWorker is different in that it accurately handles specialized terminology used at shipbuilding, construction, and manufacturing sites. Users can upload site photos and PDF safety training materials, and text within documents is automatically translated into each worker's native language. As a result, existing training materials can be used as they are, and during group training, multilingual subtitle translations appear simultaneously on the PC screen.
The system is simple and intuitive to deploy on site, and it works by having workers access it via QR code during the morning TBM (toolbox meeting). After that, the manager's voice is provided simultaneously as text and speech in each worker's native language, and real-time Q&A handling and completion signature processing are also available. In addition, manager functions make it possible to manage workers' training participation and history data, improving the efficiency of safety management operations and enhancing the effectiveness of the safety management system.
Hylocal's flagship product, hiWorker, is an AI industrial safety communication platform. hiWorker applies real-time multilingual voice interpretation technology in Vietnamese, Indonesian, Filipino, English, and other languages, supporting real-time communication between foreign workers and site managers at construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing sites. It also maintains high speech recognition accuracy in noisy environments and aims to prevent industrial accidents. It is currently being supplied to more than 160 sites in Korea and abroad, including Samsung C&T, HJ Shipbuilding & Construction, Dongbu Construction, and Hyosung Heavy Industries.
Hylocal Co., Ltd. is an AI-based multilingual real-time translation and industrial safety SaaS platform company established in August 2020, and it began as a combination of multilingual translation using AI and industrial safety functions. The company operates hiWorker, its core service, which provides real-time interpretation features and a safety communication platform for foreign workers at industrial sites such as construction, shipbuilding, and manufacturing.
