Sang-in Kim, CEO of Indusvision
“Our country's explosion-proof CCTV is still in the introduction stage. As industrial safety regulations are strengthened, the market will gradually expand. We will steadily release new explosion-proof CCTV TVs, special explosion-proof cameras, and explosion-proof sensor systems to secure global competitiveness as well as domestically.”
Indusvision, an explosion-proof CCTV specialist, specializes in developing and manufacturing explosion-proof CCTV equipment installed in explosive areas such as gas, petrochemical, and power plants, and is a global small and medium-sized company that is recognized for its technology by supplying it to the domestic and global markets.
Indusvision CEO Kim Sang-in said, “As the government strengthens the safety management obligations of workplaces with high risk of fire, explosion, and gas leakage, the introduction of explosion-proof CCTV is on the rise.”
Indusvision is dreaming of becoming the world's best explosion-proof imaging device brand based on the technology and know-how accumulated in the industrial safety market for over 10 years. I heard about the present and future of the company from Indusvision CEO Kim Sang-in.
-If you introduce a company.
▲Indusvision is a company specializing in manufacturing explosion-proof imaging equipment used in extreme environments with explosion risk such as gas and chemical substances. It started its business in the field of developing and manufacturing explosion-proof video equipment such as explosion-proof CCTV, and has recently expanded its business to various explosion-proof sensor systems and explosion-proof detector fields. Recently, the project is underway by discovering the demand for explosion-proof products in various industrial fields such as semiconductor, display, and secondary battery manufacturing environments. Indusvision's unique explosion-proof technology know-how is constantly looking for new blue ocean markets.
-The characteristics of explosion-proof CCTV.
▲ Explosion-proof CCTV is a camera that withstands explosions. It is designed to withstand emergency such as explosion in chemical plants. In addition, even when a spark occurs inside the camera, it is not transmitted to the outside. The housing must be thick enough to not be affected by the explosion of hydrogen gas, which has the greatest explosive power, and the joint surface must be well sealed. Corrosion and deformation should not occur even when exposed to extreme chemicals, and bacteria should not be inhabited. It is used in various industrial environments such as ships and offshore plants, petrochemicals, semiconductors and displays.
Sang-in Kim, CEO of Indusvision, is introducing explosion-proof CCTV products.
-What is the status of the explosion-proof CCTV market?
▲Oil and gas are extracted, transported, refined and stored under extremely harsh conditions. To maintain perfect safety standards at all times, explosion-proof products and systems must provide the highest performance and reliability. It must be able to withstand heat, cold, moisture, vibration and shock. In addition, explosion-proof facilities and equipment are being introduced to prevent fire and explosion due to a highly flammable environment. Accordingly, the demand for explosion-proof CCTVs that can properly perform CCTV functions in such an environment is increasing. As the government is also tightening related regulations, the explosion-proof CCTV market will expand further.
-If you choose the competitiveness of Indusvision?
▲ From the beginning of the business, it has focused on the development and manufacturing of explosion-proof CCTV TVs that are barren in Korea. In 2014, it launched the first generation product line and acquired domestic and global explosion-proof certifications one after another. For the first time in the domestic industrial CCTV field, it has acquired both explosion-proof and dust-proof certifications at the same time, and has also obtained international explosion-proof certifications such as IECEx, ATEX, KCs, and NEPSI. While designing, developing and producing products by itself, it has accumulated a lot of know-how and secured international competitiveness.
-I'm trying new things recently.
▲ In preparation for explosions and fire accidents, there is an increasing demand to mount thermal imaging cameras or sensors in explosion-proof systems. Accordingly, in addition to the flagship product, CCTV, it is introducing a product that contains a sensor or detector product in an explosion-proof housing. In addition, convergence products such as network, intelligent, and thermal imaging cameras are defined as next-generation food and a lot of research and development resources are being invested. We will organically combine our own explosion-proof 〃CCTV technology with other industrial facilities and provide competitive and differentiated products.
-How to target overseas markets?
▲ To target overseas markets, it is the first priority to obtain various global explosion-proof certifications. It plans to secure and design various materials and raw materials that can withstand various explosion-proof environments and diversify them into industrial and environmental products. In addition, it plans to secure global marketing and sales partners to reinforce its overseas sales network and discover customers. Through this, we will explore new areas that global competitors such as Bosch, Felco, and Honeywell cannot access.
-What is your company's goal and vision?
▲Indusvision's slogan is'Passion Challenge Dream & Human Technology'. In other words, it is'passion and challenge for dreams and technology for people'. In the explosion-proof CCTV market, awareness is gradually increasing, but it is still lacking. From the planning stage, all products will target the global market and run toward the top step by step. In line with the era of the 4th industrial revolution, we will try to introduce a variety of convergence products and become the'First & Fast Mover' in the explosion-proof equipment market.
Indusvision explosion-proof CCTV product line
Indusvision product line > Indusvision is focusing on the explosion-proof CCTV lineup'iVEX' series. The first generation product line was released in 2014, and the second generation product line was released in 2017. The world's most compact second-generation product is the ultra-compact explosion-proof camera series, which is actively exporting business to both domestic and overseas markets.
The ultra-compact explosion-proof camera iVEX-PLs series is an integrated video camera, housing, dedicated multi bracket, sun shield, and explosion-proof cable gland, and can be installed without additional equipment. It also weighs 2.5kg and is very light, so it can be installed by yourself.
The ultra-compact waterproof camera iVEX-WB-26 can be installed and used at a depth of 20m at all times and can be temporarily used up to a depth of 50m. Equipped with 15 white LEDs, you can receive bright images even underwater where light is not transmitted.
iSTA series uses high-priced/high-quality stainless steel 316L material with corrosion resistance, antiviral/antibacterial, and chemical resistance for application to marine and food production environments.
