Senco is showing strong performance day after day. Expectations that the role of sensors will grow as artificial intelligence (AI) technology advances appear to be influencing the stock price.
As of 10:25 a.m. on the 30th, Senco was trading at 4,105 won, up 605 won (17.29%) compared to the previous trading day.
Lee Muhyung, Vice President and Head of the CX (Consumer Experience) Team in the DA (Digital Appliances) Division at Samsung Electronics, recently emphasized, "For AI appliances to read consumers' minds, sensors applied to the products and the data obtained from them are important." Sensors read various user behaviors, accumulate them as data, and AI analyzes this data to evolve into a form that can even read the user's mind.
Lee said, "The direction Samsung Electronics appliances pursue is to minimize consumer involvement," adding, "We are actively utilizing AI technology to develop appliances that operate smartly as if they have read the consumer's mind, without the consumer having to directly operate them, such as customized washing courses, air conditioner operation modes, and oven temperature and time."
Senco is the only company in Korea that possesses manufacturing and technology capabilities for electrochemical gas sensors. It also has research and development personnel with experience, know-how, and expertise in various sensor-based products such as sensor-based safety devices and environmental measuring instruments, in addition to electrochemical gas sensors.
Senco was the first in the world to develop a film-type ultra-small slim-structured electrochemical gas sensor. It also developed automated process technology for electrodes and semi-solid electrolytes for mass production. There is strong demand to apply electrochemical gas sensors to wearable devices such as smartphones and IoT devices, but electrochemical gas sensors have the disadvantage of being physically large because they use liquid electrolytes. Senco conducted research and development to miniaturize the sensors by developing film materials and related processes that can replace liquid electrolytes.
To develop ultra-small electrochemical gas sensors, it is necessary to research and develop not only material technology for semi-solid electrolytes but also electrode structures and porous electrode materials, as well as mass production process technology for these components. Senco conducted joint research with institutions possessing related elemental technologies, including the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, Seoul National University, and UNIST. The development of elemental technologies has been completed, and they are currently developing chip-type sensors by integrating MEMS packaging technology.
