KT Offers 'Robot Package' to SMEs with 30% Discount Throughout September

[Asia Economy Reporter Seulgina Cho] KT announced on the 26th that it will sell a 'Robot Package' throughout September to support the digital transformation (DX) of small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises.

The sale of the Robot Package is planned by the Korea Robot Industry Association under the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and is conducted in the form of a group purchase that sells robots commonly used by small and medium-sized manufacturing companies at prices lower than the list price. The Korea Robot Industry Association, together with Big Wave Robotics, will conduct a demand survey targeting small and medium-sized manufacturing companies and match companies selling robot packages through the robot sales platform 'Marosol'.

KT plans to standardize industrial robots and peripheral equipment, which have the highest demand for introduction among small and medium-sized manufacturing companies during September, and sell them at prices more than 30% lower than the market average price, while also providing smart factory solutions. An installment policy will also be implemented to reduce the burden on adopting companies.

The Robot Package offers a choice between two types: a machine tending robot that assists with product input and output for machine tools, and a palletizing robot that automatically stacks boxes or bags. Each package consists of a robot, a robotic arm, and a stand. In addition, KT's robot control platform 'Factory Makers', which can monitor the robot's operational status, is also provided. Therefore, all processes from robot introduction and optimization to operation can be carried out in a one-stop manner.

Starting with the sale of the Robot Package, KT plans to continuously supply various services and smart factory solutions to support the DX of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies.

Ki-dong Bae, Executive Director of KT Enterprise Division, said, "The Robot Package sales event held throughout September will be an opportunity to expand robot adoption by small and medium-sized enterprises and accelerate DX in the manufacturing sector," adding, "KT will continue to strive to fulfill its role as a digital platform (DIGICO) company leading the DX of small and medium-sized manufacturing companies."
