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

[INQ. NO. 2508M15] iPARKING Corp. is a leading cloud-based unmanned parking system service provider in Korea, with over 8,900 parking lots.
The majority of these parking lots are directly operated by iPARKING, and iPARKING has references for all of them.
By analyzing the EV entry and exit data of iPARKING parking lots nationwide, iPARKING is expanding destination charging infrastructures along drivers’ routes.
iPARKING provides various services to support the market entry of global automobile manufacturers’ EVs into Korea, including offering charging credits and establishing branded charging stations.

Leading expansion of destination-charging infrastructure
As of December 2024, Korea ranks at the top globally in terms of charging infrastructure, with approximately two EVs per charger. However, around 70% of chargers are concentrated in residential facilities like apartment complexes, which are only accessible to residents. As a result, there is a shortage of public charging facilities available for all EV drivers, despite the growing demand.
To alleviate this problem, iPARKING analyzes parking lot entry and exit data to identify locations with high EV traffic.
By focusing on public, commercial, and cultural facilities, iPARKING is expanding charging infrastructure that allows EV drivers to charge their EVs conveniently, while visiting destinations along their daily routes.
iPARKING has gained expertise in the installation and operation of communication base stations from SK Telecom, Korea’s leading telecommunications company, and its ICT infrastructure service subsidiary, SK O&S.
Equipped with this know-how, iPARKING operates charging stations with the same level of reliability as communication base stations. As a result of these efforts, iPARKING maintains an average failure rate of just 0.1% for its charging stations.
As joint major shareholders of iPARKING, both SK Innovation and NHN are leveraging their respective strengths to enter the global market by developing an integrated parking & EV charging solution. SK Innovation, the largest private energy company in the Asia-Pacific region, provides its financial strength and energy-solution capabilities, while NHN contributes its IT expertise to create this integrated solution.

Industrial Reels

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

[INQ. NO. 2506M16] A reel is a common item we encounter in our daily lives, such as a vacuum cleaner reel used to automatically rewind the cable after it was pulled out.
Meanwhile, an industrial reel is a device that is based on the same principle and applied to manufacturing facilities and industrial and service sites so as to keep workplaces neat and tidy, secure cleanness, and increase safety, work efficiency and productivity of workers.
Moreover, a reel is also used as an essential supporting item attached to various special vehicles (fire trucks, expensive ladder trucks, etc.), as well as to cranes, heavy equipment, etc., to increase their functions and added value.

Cables or hoses are needed to deliver or supply electricity, air, water, oil, gas, etc., on sites for manufacturing, farming, construction, mining, ports, vessels, special vehicles, cranes, heavy equipment, and for service sites (repair shops, gas stations, kitchens, etc.). In short, a reel is a device used to roll up such cables and hoses and pull them up when necessary.
Industrial reels are divided into versatile standard reels and customized reels specifically manufactured for work site conditions. In particular, those customized reels, which are used for very dangerous environments including mines, oceans, etc., require advanced designs and engineering technologies.

Depending on the types of driving systems, there are hand crank reels, spring-driven reels, and motor-driven reels. And they are also categorized into cable reels, air reels, oil reels, gas hose reels, etc., based on the medium delivered and supplied.
The CEO of Koreel explained, “Our company recently completed and is operating an industrial reel factory equipped with state-of-the-art facilities and production systems in the Industrial Complex near Jeonju. Through this, we plan to improve the safety of workers, increase work productivity and efficiency, and provide our customers with high-quality products at better prices. “

Cable Pusher

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

[INQ. NO. 2506M15] NextGenTec (NGT) is a technology-oriented startup specializing in the development of smart construction equipment, and with its own technology is developing cable installation equipment used at electrical construction sites.
Despite its short history, NGT is a company that develops and produces ICT-centered construction equipment based on battery systems and wireless communication technologies.
NGT’s 4th-generation smart cable pullers combine IoT, AI, wireless communication (Wi-Fi HaLow), and BLDC motor technologies, featuring the maximization of safety and productivity.

NGT recently introduced a cable pusher, NGT-750T, which is designed to efficiently support cable installation at outdoor work sites — especially at solar power plants or large-scale power infrastructure construction sites.
The NGT-750T applies Wi-Fi HaLow technology, enabling communication up to a 3km radius in open areas, facilitating smooth two-way communication between equipment or between equipment and controllers. In addition, stable control is possible even in a section of 1km, thereby increasing work efficiency.

In addition, as real-time control is possible through two-way communication, work efficiency is improved by about 40% compared to other existing models, and cable installation productivity is improved by 1.5 to 2 times.
“We installed cables used at construction sites at regular intervals and manufactured them so that they can be monitored and controlled simultaneously on the network.We calculate each load rate to gauge the optimal speed, and if a problem occurs at a specific point, we adjust the speed of other equipment to support continuous work,” explained a spokesperson for the company.
NGT announced that it plans to fully advance into overseas markets based on its proven technology and product capabilities in the domestic market. It is targeting the Middle Eastern construction market, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.

Cable Tray System

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

[INQ. NO. 2506M14] Seo Young Industrial Co., Ltd. recently unveiled its cable tray system that can safely preserve cables used in manufacturing sites, even in earthquakes, and thus prevent secondary accidents.
Cable tray acts like blood vessels inside buildings, protecting and supporting wires that supply electricity to each load in all types of buildings, including manufacturing plants, buildings, hospitals, airports, railways, and data centers.
Seo Young Industrial’s cable tray uses a boltless tray type in which an integrated joint is inserted and fastened with a latch on the outside, providing users with the advantages of reduced labor costs and increased stability.

“If bolts are used, vibration or wind pressure builds up, especially in tunnels, and can cause the bolts to loosen or corrode, which can thus lead to accidents. However, by using the boltless fastening method, the customers can secure high fastening performance, while also simplifying the input of manpower and equipment, and reduce labor costs by up to 15%,” remarked a spokesperson for the company.
Meanwhile, Seo Young Industrial’s seismic cable tray system ― that combines a seismic cable tray hanger connection device and a cable tray connection device ― has been recognized for its technological prowess through obtaining several patents.
Seo Young Industrial is a specialized cable tray manufacturer established in 2006. It has supplied cable trays and related products to domestic and international industrial sites and housing sites, and has been recognized for its technology and product excellence.

As a leader in the domestic tray industry, Seo Young Industrial strives consistently to gain trust and satisfaction from its customers.
In addition, thanks to product innovation through research and development, cost-reduction through production process improvement, and field application of new products, Seo Young Industrial has advanced in the domestic market as well as overseas markets, and thus gained a good reputation both for the excellence of its products and global competitiveness.
