■ Background and purpose of the business alliance
The security industry currently has over 10,000 companies and approximately 590,000 security guards. In addition to the facility security and crowd and traffic control security that can be seen on the streets, the industry plays an extremely important role in ensuring the safety and security of society as an industry for daily life safety, by providing security for important facilities such as airports and nuclear power plants, and providing disaster relief activities when large-scale disasters occur.
On the other hand, the company is facing two major challenges: a serious labor shortage and rising labor costs, and there are concerns that it will be difficult to continue providing current services in the long term.
In order to provide the security services necessary for a safe and secure society, it is essential to create new security solutions by combining human security services with cutting-edge technology. Through this business alliance, we will combine the extensive know-how that Senon has cultivated over more than 50 years of experience in security services such as on-site security and airport security with Macnica 's Cyber-Physical System (CPS) solutions that aim to solve social issues, thereby realizing the creation of new security solutions.

■ Specific example of initiative: Realization of new security services using icetana
As a first step, the company will begin building a security service that utilizes Macnica 's AI anomaly detection solution, "icetana." icetana's autonomous learning AI learns normal conditions from camera footage and notifies in real time when an abnormal event occurs, aiming to support the monitoring work of security guards and greatly improve efficiency.
