[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daeseop] Eugene Group announced on the 13th that its affiliates Eugene Corporation and Dongyang have jointly developed a 'Modular Type Mobile Batcher Plant.'

The newly developed modular type mobile batcher plant features modularization combined with smart technology to enhance efficiency in transportation, installation, and operation at production sites.

A batcher plant refers to equipment that produces concrete by mixing cement, aggregates, water, and other materials in appropriate ratios. Typically, it is operated as a large-scale fixed facility (stationary type) in factories for mass production, but due to issues such as distance from construction sites and setup costs, smaller batcher plants are sometimes installed and used at each construction site.

The newly developed modular mobile batcher plant can be installed and start production within a week, significantly reducing costs, manpower, and other resources required for material transportation and installation, according to Eugene Group.

In particular, productivity can be increased through the use of smart technology. Remote control via wireless methods is possible. Unlike existing on-site batcher plants where production panels had to be operated from a fixed control room inside the equipment, this plant allows wireless monitoring and remote operation using laptops, tablet PCs, etc., within a 500m radius from the control room. An advantage is that the equipment can be operated without a dedicated operator, which was always necessary in existing facilities.

Additionally, the group explained that automatic measuring devices capable of precisely measuring inventories of aggregates, cement, admixtures, and other materials were introduced for the first time in a mobile batcher plant. Through independently improved measuring devices, measurement accuracy has been enhanced, and the system is designed to enable real-time inventory tracking via mobile access.

A Eugene Group official stated, "In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, we plan to lead the ready-mixed concrete industry through smart technology development that reflects the needs of customers and sites," adding, "It is expected to be especially well-received at overseas construction sites where construction infrastructure is lacking."
