[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heung-soon] Doosan Infracore, a construction equipment affiliate of Hyundai Heavy Industries Group, announced on the 1st that it will participate in the 'Smart Construction Challenge 2021,' a smart construction technology competition hosted by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The Smart Construction Challenge is a technology competition aimed at discovering and supporting smart construction technologies utilizing advanced technologies based on the 4th industrial revolution, and promoting rapid on-site application.

Doosan Infracore will compete in the 'Construction Automation' category at this competition, showcasing remote control-based excavation automation technology combined with the smart control solution 'SiteCloud.'

SiteCloud is the only cloud-based integrated control solution in Korea, launched by Doosan Infracore last year. It completes on-site construction by conducting 3D surveying of the site using drones, analyzing earthwork volumes, deriving earthwork plans and management environments, and then combining 5G-based remote control technology for construction equipment with semi-automation technology.

Previously, Doosan Infracore has expanded its business operations by signing SiteCloud service contracts starting with the Yangwon LH public housing district development project in Jungnang-gu last year, followed by the Incheon Geomdan district land development project sections 2-1 and nearby 2-2.

A Doosan Infracore official stated, "Through SiteCloud, we will draw a new future across the entire construction industry, including shortening work periods, reducing construction equipment fuel costs, and improving on-site safety."
