Senko, Osan-si '2021 Smart Town Challenge' Supply Contract

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Senko, a total solution company for gas sensors, announced on the 3rd that it will lead the Osan City Smart Town Challenge construction project, which involves approximately 2 billion KRW of national funding.

Osan City plans to establish the ‘Smart Eco Osancheon,’ where clean nature and smart IT services coexist, by building ▲ Osancheon Smart Ecological Monitoring ▲ Citizen Ecological Research Platform ▲ Smart Eco Station ▲ Citizen Participation Eco Energy, among others. This project is being carried out through a consortium led by Senko along with Jeongdo UI Tech (CEO Noh Seong-gi) and Donghae General Technology Corporation.

The ‘Smart Town Challenge’ is a project led by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport that focuses on proposing and applying specialized solutions optimized for small and medium-sized cities. Selected local governments receive national funding and expert consulting support for project planning and demonstration costs of representative solutions. The project aims to significantly expand the ‘Smart Solution Diffusion Project’ to evenly distribute proven smart solutions nationwide so that citizens can experience smart city services.

To strengthen its capabilities in smart city-related projects, Senko has signed a business agreement with LG Uplus and is currently conducting the project. They collaborate on solving issues such as detection and commercialization of solutions for hazardous and harmful substances in smart cities and industrial complexes. By integrating sensor-based total solutions produced by Senko with wired and wireless communication and control services, they are developing related services to provide safe workplaces and comfortable daily lives.

Additionally, Senko plans to cooperate in projects led by central and local governments that monitor harmful environmental substances such as odors and fine dust within cities and improve air and environmental conditions in residential and industrial areas to restore green ecosystems.

Kim Hyun-soo, Head of Senko’s Environmental IoT Business Division, stated, “Starting with this project, we will maximize the capabilities of Senko’s system business division and actively promote smart city, smart town, and smart industrial complex-related projects that we have been preparing for.” He added, “We will do our best to ensure that Senko’s technological capabilities are applied to more smart city, smart town, and smart industrial complex projects.”
