Semi Portal Scraper Reclaimer

- Agreement period: Feb. 17, 2020 - Jun. 16, 2024 (4 years and 5 months)
- Support organization: Korea Western Power Co., Ltd.

The coal reclaimer, which is the target of technology development, is a technology that has been 100% monopolized by foreign manufacturers for about 40 years since the 1970s. It is equipment that scrapes coal stored in an indoor coal storage facility with a boom scraper and loads it onto a belt conveyor on the ground.
The completed prototype will be installed on site and operated as a facility of Western Power, and based on the operating performance, it is expected that it will be possible to open a market for overseas exports such as Southeast Asia.

Automated Rubber Tire Gantry Crane

- Agreement period: Apr. 01, 2022 - Dec. 31, 2025 (3 years and 9 months)
- Support organization: Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries

Cargo transport equipment operates autonomously while recognizing and avoiding dangerous situations by mutually communicating with the surrounding infrastructure without operator manipulation within the port.
If the technology is developed and deployed in the field, it will provide a technical basis for automating tire-type port cranes, which are mainly used in small and medium-sized ports such as Pyeongtaek Port and Ulsan Port, at a relatively low cost.

Grab Type Ship Unloader Automation

- Agreement period: Apr. 29, 2022 - Dec. 31, 2025 (3 years and 8 months)
- Support organization: Ministry of SMEs and Startups

The grab-type unloader is a device for unloading bulk cargo from ships, and unloading relied only on manual operation without a standardized method.
In addition, the loading and unloading efficiency of each equipment was different depending on the capabilities of the operator and the signalman, and as a high degree of concentration was required at a position of about 31m above the ground, workers suffered severe fatigue.
Therefore, if an automated operation program is developed based on various driving control patterns and kinematic mechanisms, it is expected to reduce labor costs, improve productivity, and reduce the risk of accidents.
