KOSDAQ-listed company InskoB announced on the 30th that it has been selected as a contractor for the Jeonju Smart Energy Platform Construction Project, forming a consortium with the Jeonbuk Industry-Academia Convergence Institute and others to participate jointly.
Through its ICT division, InskoB will collaborate with Pureun Technology, a company specializing in energy diagnostics and thermal energy, and the Jeonbuk Industry-Academia Convergence Institute, a non-profit organization, to participate in the introduction of the Factory Energy Management System (FEMS) to five industrial complexes in the Jeonju area, a project promoted by the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation. The company plans to complete the construction by the end of 2027.
At the end of last year, Jeonju City and the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation launched four projects to modernize the aging Jeonju Industrial Complexes 1 and 2 and transform them into smart green industrial complexes: ▲ establishment of an integrated control center ▲ construction of a smart logistics platform ▲ training of smart manufacturing personnel ▲ and the establishment of a smart energy platform for industrial complexes.
The smart energy platform project is a symbolic element of innovation for the Jeonju industrial complexes, focusing on connecting and sharing energy data among resident companies to enhance the energy efficiency of individual firms and promote efficient energy management and reduction across the entire complex.
The Korea Industrial Complex Corporation believes that the smart energy platform project will not only strengthen the competitiveness of resident companies but also maximize energy efficiency within the industrial complexes in line with the global carbon neutrality trend, such as RE100, and contribute to the spread of AI-based smart factory solutions.
The main components of the project to be carried out by InskoB are as follows. First, the introduction of an AI-based energy-saving control solution to collect customized energy data for companies within the industrial complex and implement an optimized control system. The goal is to improve operational efficiency through real-time monitoring and analysis.
Second, through the FEMS system, the company plans to establish an integrated analysis of energy big data and a cloud-based intelligent management system, supporting integrated energy operation and management by linking with MES and ERP systems within factories.
Finally, to strengthen carbon neutrality and ESG response capabilities, the company plans to establish RE100 implementation and carbon reduction systems for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies. Through this, the goal is to promote energy transition centered on industrial complexes and secure a foundation for the creation of new industries.
An InskoB representative stated, "We are pleased to contribute to revitalizing the local economy by reducing energy costs for manufacturing companies, improving production efficiency, accelerating digital transformation through the use of the smart energy platform, securing the ability to respond to carbon neutrality and RE100, spreading new local energy businesses, discovering new business models in the energy industry, and creating jobs through the establishment of an AI-based smart energy platform," adding, "We will continue to devote ourselves to the smart grid business and do our best to expand smart industrial complexes."
A representative of the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation said, "This FEMS construction project focuses not only on simple energy savings but also on the eco-friendly transformation and sustainability enhancement of the manufacturing industry through the use of AI and digital technologies," adding, "We will continue to contribute to securing the competitiveness of the local manufacturing industry and building an energy new industry ecosystem."
