Yunggiwon Applyes Wireless Load Monitoring Technology to Real-World Sites
Published2020.12.15 16:55Remote monitoring of load using Bluetooth-based sensors
Real-time monitoring is possible even during construction or demolition.
The Institute of Advanced Convergence Technology (IACT) announced on the 15th that it had jointly developed 'system support wireless load monitoring technology' with Lotte E&C and Build It and applied it to the construction site of the Gyeonggi Gwangmyeong Medical Complex Cluster development project.

System support wireless load monitoring technology is a technology that remotely monitors the load of system supports—frame structures that act as supports to ensure safety before concrete pouring—using Bluetooth-based wireless load measurement sensors.
Compared to existing load monitoring technologies that could only measure via wires and had high unit costs, the newly developed technology expands the working radius and increases technological utility through wireless operation, and is highly economical due to its reusability. In addition, real-time monitoring is possible during construction and demolition.

"This research achievement is a meaningful result achieved through cooperation and mutual growth among regional specialized research institutions, large corporations, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Gyeonggi-do (Buildit)," said Director Joo Young-chang of the Convergence Research Institute. "We will do our best to ensure that convergence technology is researched and utilized in various fields."
In the future, the Convergence Institute plans to secure the safety of construction sites with a high risk of accidents through system support wireless load monitoring technology, and to advance related technologies to create a safe Gyeonggi-do through science and technology.

Maxim Launches Fuel Gauge IC to Extend Li-ion Battery Life
Damaged batteries have a high potential to cause internal cell leakage, and if the leakage continues, it can lead to fire and explosion hazards. To prevent the shipment of leaking cells, factory inspection is important, but self-discharge detection of the battery itself is equally critical. In response, Maxim has launched the MAX17320, a high-precision lithium-ion fuel gauge IC that monitors self-discharge risk and extends operating time in multi-cell battery-powered products.

SK Telecom First Applies AI-Based Network Operations at Gwanghwamun K-Pop Concert
SK Telecom announced that it applied an AI-based network operation system for the first time at a large-scale K-pop concert held in the Gwanghwamun area of Seoul on March 21st, managing communication quality throughout the event. Mobile data usage during the three hours before and after the concert reached 12.15TB, approximately doubling compared to the same time slot the previous weekend. SK Telecom monitored traffic using the AI system 'A-One' in five-minute and 50-meter units to respond to potential overload situations, while also operating temporary communication facilities and on-site personnel in parallel. This case is interpreted as confirmation of the practical applicability of AI-based autonomous network operation in an environment where demand from dense events and foreign users increases simultaneously.
