Smart Cigarette-vending Machine

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2510E04] SOYNET Co, Ltd. recently introduced its advanced cigarette-vending machine equipped with facial recognition technology.
SOYNET’s smart cigarette-vending machine applies facial recognition technology to compare and confirm the purchaser’s actual face with the face on the mobile ID, thus blocking the possibility of the illegal purchase by minors one more time at the time of the last purchase. This is the result of observing and studying how sellers visually compare ID cards with buyers during actual face-to-face sales.
The smart cigarette-vending machine that SOYNET launched this time uses the SoyFace model, which has obtained KISA bio-recognition system performance test certification, to be lightweight and accelerated using SoyNet, its AI execution optimization technology, on the kiosk’s operating board (Windows operating system, CPU environment) – and it thus can handle face detection, feature point extraction, and fake face discrimination.
This tech development has reduced GPU cloud costs, improved user experience with faster response speeds, and made it possible to easily apply the technology to other industrial areas that require AI services to run on low-end devices.

A spokesperson for the company explained, “This is the first smart cigarette-vending machine capable of facial recognition in Korea,” adding, “We have granted temporary permission through the regulatory sandbox. Once permission is granted, the user experience can be significantly modified.”
SOYNET is an AI infrastructure specialist company established in 2018. SOYNET is also developing accelerated and lightweight inference engines and MLOps as well as customer domain-based AI solutions.

Korea’s ICT Companies Actively Releasing New Items

https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

Boosting the nation’s export growth

Korea’s exports in September this year increased by over 12% compared to those of the same month of the previous year. According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE), exports last month totaled $65.95 billion (approximately KRW 93 trillion), a 12.7% increase year-on-year.
Exports increased for 10 of the 15 major export items, including semiconductors and automobiles.
Semiconductor exports, in particular, continued their record high in September, following August, driven by strong demand for high-value-added memory, particularly for artificial intelligence (AI) servers. However, exports of petrochemicals and steel decreased by 2.8% and 4.2%, respectively, compared to the previous year due to declining export prices.
Display exports, which had been sluggish, rose by 1.3% to $1.92 billion. This growth was driven by the expanded adoption of OLED panels in IT devices and a partial recovery in demand from downstream industries such as mobile phones and laptops.

Korean exporters are ceaselessly developing and releasing competitive new items, which are expected to capture keen attention in global markets. In particular, Korea’s ICT companies are actively releasing new attractive, innovative items targeting global markets.
For example, SOYNET Co, Ltd. recently introduced its advanced cigarette e-vending machine equipped with facial recognition technology.

In addition, AETECH developed the artificial intelligence (AI) robot ‘Atron’ for waste-sorting work and succeeded in commercializing it for the first time in Korea. Currently, it has installed more than 12 Atrons in domestic recycling sorting facilities.
SKIA recently introduced SKIA_OPD, which uses augmented reality (AR) to educate patients about pathological phenomena, surgery, and treatment progress.
