Efficiency of GS25's AI-Powered Construction Site Safety System
The GS25 convenience store network plans to improve the safety measures used on its building sites to build new stores and refurbish existing ones. Beginning in May of this year, the corporation will implement an advanced 'Smart Safety Management System' that uses artificial intelligence (AI).
Using AI and closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, this cutting-edge system can autonomously monitor building sites and deliver fast notifications to managers in potentially dangerous situations. CCTV systems are capable of detecting critical incidents, including but not limited to fire outbreaks, distress signals, fallen staff members, failure to utilize protective headgear, and unauthorized intrusions.
As mentioned, the safety manager at GS25 promptly takes the necessary actions after these alarms are escalated through a cloud-based artificial intelligence platform to the central control center. Through the implementation of this intelligent safety solution, GS25 is anticipated to significantly improve its operational efficiency, simplify processes, enhance close monitoring of the building process with partners, and improve the safety management standard.
GS25 has been integrating artificial intelligence throughout several aspects of its business, including the design of product packaging and the creation of content, as well as shop operations and the monitoring of safety; this demonstrates the business's strong dedication to digital transformation.
Established in 1990 as Korea's inaugural autonomous brand, this company reportedly symbolizes professionalism and integrity in the CVS industry. Using the Lifestyle Platform as a guide, GS25 has established a daily living platform that maximizes the utilization of innovative and convenient services as well as culinary culture to provide clients with a contemporary and qualitative living experience. Ever since its founding, it has consistently maintained its leadership position.

GS25 Autonomous Store in Seoul
South Korea is home to a sizable 56,000 convenience stores. Yet, the country is confronted with issues such as a significant increase in the minimum wage and a labor shortage. Therefore, the minimum wage has significantly doubled during the past ten years.
Accordingly, GS Retail, a South Korean corporation, has partnered with Fainders.AI, a Korean shopping artificial intelligence launch under the GS25 convenience store brand, which will open in Seoul, South Korea.
To lessen the impact of load cell-based inference, the new GS25 store uses only two-dimensional cameras powered by the most recent vision artificial intelligence technology from Fainders.AI. In addition, the store has reportedly helped overcome obstacles, including staff shortages and doubling the national minimum wage since 2013. Thus, the deep learning techniques exclusive to Fainders.AI have also helped minimize the price of hardware and computer resources.
On the other hand, Myungwon Ham, the founder and chief executive officer of Fainders.AI, stated that the company believes that the development of automated stores in Korea is rapidly coming due to the dynamic changes occurring in Korea, particularly in demographic data. This successful cooperation with GS Retail reportedly exemplifies their objective with complete assurance. As stated, they want to bring back the profitability of traditional physical stores.
