Pola Orbis Group, under its philosophy of 'Sensibility Switch Fully Open,' aims to create new businesses beyond cosmetics to achieve well-being and solve social issues. As part of this, the group is expanding 'KAOKARA,' an AI camera for heatstroke prevention that utilizes facial analysis technology. It is expected to be introduced to more than 5,000 sites nationwide during the 2026 hot season. Introduction is surging at construction, manufacturing, and logistics sites due to the 2025 amendment of the Industrial Safety and Health Act, which made heat countermeasures mandatory, and cost subsidies from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. By simply facing the camera for 3 seconds, the AI analyzes 'complexion, expression, and perspiration,' integrating this with WBGT values to provide a 4-level heatstroke risk assessment. Its key features are the lack of need for wearables and the ability for centralized cloud management.
