In the event of a fire, it has a function that immediately stops charging and sends an alarm to the control center connected to the server, and even reports to the competent control agency if necessary. As a result, if the initial response is quicker, the damage can be minimized and the user’s safety can be protected.
In addition, to enhance user convenience, the BT PnC (Bluetooth Plug and Charge) automatically recognizes the user without an app or card to provide a convenient electric vehicle charging experience. When the user’s mobile phone is brought near the charger, the user is automatically authenticated and the charging service is activated.
Externally, while the electric vehicle charger model with a prominent angular and straight appearance is the mainstream, EVAR’s new product has a clean exterior design with a soft curved line at the edges. In addition, it has an advantage of being able to apply customized color designs of charging operators.

Lee Hoon, CEO of the company, explained, “In order to alleviate users’ concerns about electric vehicle fires, we launched the world’s first charger that detects electric vehicle fires. We will use our experience of operating the world’s largest smart load balancing charging infrastructure to further solidify our position as a leading technology company that provides all safe solutions necessary for electric vehicle charging for a worry-free electric vehicle life.”
Meanwhile, EVAR was selected as the representative Korean company in the startup pitching competition hosted by the U.S. Embassy in Seoul in March, and participated in the 2023 SelectUSA Investment Summit, a global startup competition hosted by the U.S. government, held from May 1 to 4, and the SelectU Tech.

https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry


 [INQ. NO. 2305M02] Daechang Motors Co., Ltd., a domestic company specializing in the production and sale of small electric trucks, has recently succeeded in developing the small (loading weight 550kg) electric refrigerator truck called ‘Danigo-R2.’


 

The Danigo-R2 is based on the Danigo-C (cargo truck) vehicle and is additionally equipped with a battery (57.7 kWh) for driving the vehicle and a battery (13 kWh) exclusively for a freezer so that the refrigerator can stay
cool even when the vehicle is in a non-operating state. Therefore, since it is possible to maintain the refrigerating/ freezing temperature more stably, it can be used as a mobile freezer.

Since a typical refrigerator vehicle uses a single battery both to drive the vehicle and operate the freezer, the mileage per charge is shortened, and there are many complaints from drivers since they cannot turn off the refrigerator vehicle even after finishing their own work for fear of spoiling refrigerated/frozen items.
Daechang Motors’ electric refrigerator vehicle Danigo-R2, which can solve these problems at once, is expected to
emerge as an alternative vehicle to resolve such complaints from refrigerator vehicle drivers upon its release.
In addition, the Danigo-R2 features various and many other safety devices including an Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Hill Stop Assistance (HSA), Electric Power Steering (EPS), Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), airbags. The front-wheel tires located in front of the semi-bonnet and driver’s seat greatly help protect the driver’s safety in the event of a head-on collision.
In addition, the wheelbase distance is long, so driving stability also ensures excellent performance. In particular, the motor is installed directly over the rear wheels of the platform dedicated to electric vehicles to maximize power performance and fuel efficiency.

Danigo-R2 has completed certification from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) for domestic sales, and is currently undergoing certification from the Ministry of Environment, and full-fledged sales began in April.

Smart-pipe Combining Self-diagnosis and StatusMonitoring

April 24, 2023 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-machinery.com///inquiry


 

Water leaks occur when a water pipe buried in the ground develops a microscopic crack. This is often verydifficult to notice, and can even cause large-scale accidents such as a sinkhole in which the ground
suddenly disappears after a pipe leaks gradually over a long period of time. Accordingly, a monitoring system for water-pipe management and leakage-prevention is required.

A smart-pipe system under development to enable real-time monitoring of the water supply network was
recently displayed at an exhibition in South Korea.
Coating Korea Co., Ltd. participated in 2023 Water Korea, held from March 21 to March 23, at KINTEX in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, and exhibited a model of this smart-pipe system.
The smart-pipe system was introduced by a spokesperson for the company as a future system that
has been under development in cooperation with three companies since 2021 as a national project of Korea’s Ministry of Environment.
The goal of the task is to combine a sensor with a steel pipe (pipe), and to complete a smart-pipe capable of self-diagnosis and condition monitoring with a monitoring system (software).
Coating Korea, specializing in pipe manufacturing and coating, was in charge of research and development of pipe hardware durability enhancement and sensor coupling, such as seismic performance, corrosion resistance, and pipe connection technology.
A spokesperson for the company explained, “If welding is performed when connecting pipes, there is a risk of burning the coated sheath. If welding is not done, additional connecting parts must be used. If the pipes are connected using the tube expanding method, the pipes can be connected without welding or additional connections. In addition, the inside is coated with polyethylene (PE) resin to prevent internal corrosion and can be used hygienically for a longer period of time.”

He added, predicting that commercialization of smart pipes would be possible around 2024, “Since there is a burden on the cost part to proceed with the system with a digital twin, there is a method to check the condition by combining sensors in areas with a high risk of leakage to develop the progress of the smart-pipe system.”
