Small and Medium Business Corporation

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] The Small and Medium Business Corporation (Chairman Kim Hak-do, hereinafter referred to as SBC) announced on the 17th that it has established a Smart Factory Learning Center at the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Training Institute in Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk, and held an opening ceremony. The Smart Factory Learning Center is a learning facility where a training production line applying the latest Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is established, allowing trainees to directly experience the composition and operation of a smart factory while producing actual products.

The Daegu-Gyeongbuk Training Institute Learning Center was constructed over approximately 14 months starting from January last year and consists of a manufacturing practice room equipped with a production line and smart manufacturing practice equipment, a robot practice room, and more. It is especially characterized by the installation of various robot practice equipment reflecting the region's specialized industries. Policy synergy effects such as enhancing the competitiveness of local manufacturing and creating jobs are expected. Additionally, while existing training centers mainly focused on tours to comprehensively review the latest ICT technologies related to smart factories, the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Learning Center offers the advantage of practical individual experiences.

SBC is actively engaged in the establishment and operation of learning centers in line with government policies to strengthen the competitiveness of small and medium enterprises in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution. Starting with the Small and Medium Business Training Institute in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province in 2017, learning centers have been established and operated at the CAMTIC Comprehensive Technology Institute in Jeonju, Jeonbuk, and the Busan-Gyeongnam Training Institute in Changwon, Gyeongnam last year. This year, the learning centers will be further expanded to the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Training Institute in Gyeongsan, Gyeongbuk, the Chungcheong Training Institute in Cheonan, Chungnam, and the Honam Training Institute in Gwangju. Through this, SBC plans to train 60,000 professionals in the smart manufacturing field by 2022 and also foster experts in the digital new deal sector.

Chairman Kim Hak-do stated, "The Daegu-Gyeongbuk Training Institute Smart Factory Learning Center will serve as a catalyst to nurture and supply excellent human resources who will lead the smart manufacturing and digital new deal sectors." He added, "SBC will actively support the smart transformation of local small and medium-sized manufacturing sites and the leap and innovative growth of the Daegu-Gyeongbuk regional industry based on close cooperation with local governments and related organizations."
