Jeonbuk Provincial Government Office building.

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Gominhyung] Jeonbuk Province announced on the 12th that it has recently broken ground on a test research building for the research and development of evaluation technology for smart construction machinery and parts, opening a new horizon for the smart construction machinery industry.

The Smart Construction Machinery Test Research Building (hereinafter referred to as the Test Research Building) is being promoted as part of the Ministry of Industry and Energy's regional hub project, the "Establishment of an Evaluation Infrastructure for Converged Parts for Smart Construction Machinery," and is scheduled to be completed by March next year at the Saemangeum National Industrial Research Complex Zone 2 (a two-story building with a building area of 1,393㎡ and a total floor area of 2,081㎡).

The "Establishment of Evaluation Technology Infrastructure for Converged Parts for Smart Construction Machinery" project involves building test facility infrastructure and conducting evaluation technology research for autonomous operation systems, electric and electronic control power systems, and smart construction integrated control systems applied to smart construction machinery. It also promotes collaboration among local innovation institutions to establish a corporate technology support system.

As the first domestic test research infrastructure to foster the smart construction machinery industry, it is expected to strengthen the technological competitiveness of construction machinery companies in the province and revitalize new industries in related fields.

The Construction Machinery Parts Research Institute is the only specialized production technology research institute in the field of construction machinery parts in Korea, possessing the largest complete vehicle test site (in the Napo-myeon area of Gunsan), 59 research and test facilities and equipment, and over 100 specialized research personnel.

Jeonbuk Province, together with the Construction Machinery Parts Research Institute, contributes to enhancing the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises and mid-sized companies by supporting technology development and test analysis in the construction machinery field.

Jeon Byeongsoon, Director of the Innovation Growth Industry Bureau of Jeonbuk Province, stated, "Through this project, we will achieve the integration of smart construction machinery test research facilities that proactively develop technology and support advanced technology verification in response to the 4th Industrial Revolution," adding, "Jeonbuk Province will spare no administrative support to leap forward as a hub region for the construction machinery industry."
