✦ AI Summary
Piaspace announced that it will participate in '2026 International Public Safety and Security Expo (KPEX 2026).'
It plans to exhibit its flagship AI video analytics solution, 'MACS,' and introduce use cases for public safety and security applications, along with potential on-site deployment.
MACS has been operated and demonstrated at the command and control center of the Khon Kaen Provincial Police in Thailand and in public safety settings at home and abroad, and Piaspace also disclosed its Series A funding and plans to expand its global business.
Piaspace, a VLM-based AI video analytics company, announced that it will participate in '2026 International Public Safety and Security Expo (KPEX 2026).' The event will be held from October 21 (Wednesday) to 24 (Saturday) at Songdo Convensia in Incheon, and Piaspace plans to showcase its flagship AI video analytics solution, 'MACS (Multi-modal AI for Camera Solution).' It also plans to introduce use cases for public safety and security applications, along with potential on-site deployment.
Piaspace said it develops its solutions with VLM (Vision-Language Model)-based technology, enabling AI to understand and analyze situations and context in video. MACS, an intelligent video analytics system, uses existing infrastructure such as CCTV and VMS, eliminating the need to replace current systems, and it can detect safety incidents and abnormal situations in real time across various industrial sites. It also analyzes abnormal situations such as fire, smoke, falls, violence, and intrusion, and its distinguishing feature is that it goes beyond detecting structured objects and events to analyze the relationships among people, actions, and spaces, as well as the contextual situation in video.
Piaspace has deployed MACS at the command and control center of the Khon Kaen Provincial Police in Thailand, and MACS is currently operating in real-world public safety settings. During this year's Songkran festival, AI analysis was applied to fixed CCTV footage and drone video, and it was used for safety management in crowded areas, narrow alleys, and blind spots that were difficult to monitor with existing CCTV. In real time, it detected fire, smoke, falls, violence, and crowd congestion, helping to support preemptive responses to safety incidents at festival sites.
Piaspace has continued field demonstrations and commercialization efforts in the public safety sector in Korea, and in the final test of a fall-detection demonstration for an escalator at Banwoldang underground shopping mall in Daegu, it recorded an accuracy of 97% and detected the situation within 5 seconds in the same test. Overseas, it conducted a proof of concept (PoC) at the headquarters of a state-owned oil company in Saudi Arabia, identifying 6 risk scenarios for detection, including fire, smoke, falls, intrusion, loitering, and weapon possession, and the PoC produced 0 false positives, demonstrating its technological capabilities. It was also designated as an innovative product by the Public Procurement Service, laying the groundwork for expanding sales channels to public institutions, and it completed a Series A funding round of KRW 5.5 billion, with its technology and business potential recognized. In August, it announced the Series A funding, and its cumulative investment raised stands at about KRW 9.8 billion. Based on the secured investment, Piaspace plans to advance its VLM-based technology and expand its global business.
A demo area will be set up inside the exhibition booth for visitors to see MACS use cases, and attendees will be able to observe how AI detects and analyzes hazardous situations in video. Piaspace is also scheduled to take part in export consultation meetings with overseas police and buyers, where it will discuss ways to enter global markets and pursue cooperation. In addition, Piaspace plans to explore on-site deployment possibilities with public safety and security stakeholders from Korea and abroad.
'2026 International Public Safety and Security Expo (KPEX 2026)' is a specialized exhibition for the public safety, security, and safety industries hosted by the Korean National Police Agency and Incheon Metropolitan City.
