[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Eun-mo] Ourhome is embarking on a digital transformation through the establishment of a data-driven smart factory.

On the 27th, Ourhome announced that it signed a business agreement with the Korea Food Safety Management Certification Institute (HACCP Certification Institute) under the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety to successfully carry out the "Food Industry Digital Cluster Smart Industrial Infrastructure Development" project.

Through this agreement, both parties will join forces to successfully establish the digital cluster. They will build a future-oriented digital cluster model utilizing Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data to drive the digital transformation (DX) of the food industry. The goal is to promote mutual growth within the industry and strengthen the competitiveness of Korea's food industry.

To this end, both parties have selected and agreed to jointly pursue five key tasks: ▲ establishing a food information value chain from production sites to consumers ▲ building a data-driven smart supply chain management system ▲ creating an information circulation ecosystem for win-win cooperation between partners and customers ▲ implementing a smart manufacturing system based on error prevention for real-time monitoring ▲ and strengthening ESG activities such as recycling, energy saving, and carbon reduction through ICT technology.

Ourhome was the only company in the food industry selected for the government’s digital cluster project in 2022. Together with four partner companies, Ourhome plans to develop a joint system for building a food industry-specialized smart factory by 2023 and establish it in an online space.

An Ourhome official stated, "Through this agreement, Ourhome and its partners plan to build a new value chain model interconnected based on digital technology," adding, "We will focus all our capabilities to make it a successful model that enhances the overall competitiveness of Korea’s food industry."
