[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] Incheon Technopark (Incheon TP) will also conduct the 'Smart Factory Pilot Plant Tour' program, which was mainly conducted through visits, online in a non-face-to-face format.

This program aims to help companies planning to introduce or newly building smart factories by sharing the smart factory construction details, achievements, and know-how of leading companies.

Accordingly, Incheon TP designated Yeonwoo Co., Ltd., located on Gajwa-ro, Seo-gu, as an Incheon Smart Factory Pilot Plant and conducted a total of 9 on-site tours for 165 people, including employees of companies wishing to introduce smart factories and youth experience groups.

However, due to difficulties in on-site visits caused by the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19), online tours were conducted on the 15th and 22nd as a pilot. The online smart factory tour using a video conferencing platform was conducted with a sense of presence by watching videos of each process of the pilot plant and resolving questions through real-time Q&A.

An official from Incheon TP said, "Observing exemplary cases of smart factory solution utilization is very helpful for small and medium-sized enterprises planning to introduce smart factories," and added, "The online tours received good responses, so we decided to promote the tour program both online and offline."

The next tours will be held online for two days on January 12 and 19 next year, and applications can be made through the Smart Factory Business Management System (www.smart-factory.kr).

Incheon Small and Medium Business Administration and Incheon TP plan to accept about 30 people twice a month each to conduct the smart factory pilot plant tour program.

Meanwhile, Yeonwoo is a representative smart factory introduction company that enhanced corporate competitiveness such as productivity by building smart factory solutions including PLM (Product Lifecycle Management), APS (Advanced Planning and Scheduling optimization), automation equipment (3 feeders and 4 stackers), inventory management system, and automated facilities with support from Incheon Small and Medium Business Administration and Incheon TP in 2018.
