General information

Short Summary
A Korean SME supplying switchgear and switchboard to public and private power industries is looking for AI technology that enhance safety and cost effectiveness in terms of production and management under commercial agreement with technical assistance or R&D cooperation agreement
Full Description
As one of major heavy electrical equipment manufacturers in Korea, a Korean SME has been providing power equipment products such as gas insulated switchgear, high/medium/low voltage switchgear, motor control center, etc. to Korean public and private power customers since 1991.

Recently, this Korean SME has developed a smart electric switchboard, that can monitor carbon monoxide, temperature, humidity, electric discharge, micro dust, earthquake (including tremor), and fire. In addition, ARC(Accelerating Rate Calorimeter) and thermal images are recorded by installed camera. The operator can monitor and control this switchboard remotely from central system.

To enhance safety and reduce production & management costs, this Korean company is looking for European partners with excellent AI technology that can be implemented into its smart switchboard under commercial agreement with technical assistance or research and development cooperation agreement.

By combining AI technology, it is expected to retain competitiveness in Korean market and successfully enter foreign procurement markets. Not only increasing switchboard product’s value, the Korean company is also interested in commercialization of new solution as a separate business.
