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

[INQ. NO. 2504E01] Most control systems, including CCTV, are built based on video. However, since most video files are large in size, it takes a lot of time to process them. Accordingly, many companies are making efforts to solve this problem.
Fodics System Co., Ltd. is a company that has succeeded in improving video-processing speed through its self-developed software.
Since its establishment in 2005, Fodics System has focused on technology development in the social safety field, such as intelligent AI, integrated SI, public works, and CCTV procurement, based on its own R&D technology for AI video analysis solutions. It is a technology specialized company with over 30 patents.
At this exhibition, Fodics System recently released AI-NVR, an intelligent video surveillance and analysis system. AI-NVR is a user interface for a network video recorder system that integrates AI technology ― providing video surveillance and management functions.
Fodics System’s AI-NVR operates by linking heterogeneous ultra-high-resolution AI camera information, and when an event occurs, it uses its patented distributed storage technology to search and select CCTV footage around the location more quickly ― in order to support accurate situational judgment and prompt action.
“AI-NVR is used in disaster-related projects promoted by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety (MOIS) because it recognizes people’s gender, clothing, faces, vehicles, and license plates. The demand for our equipment mainly comes from government offices,” explained a spokesperson for the company.

According to the company, the camera technology itself has recently become standardized to the point where the technology is similar among companies, but there are differences in the software that utilizes the recorded files.
Fodics System has developed software that can directly distribute and store images, and has advanced items that allow images to be automatically distributed and processed more quickly, and these are being distributed to government organizations. Fodics System has already been selected as an excellent procurement company, generating over 40 billion won in sales, so it is planning to strengthen its overseas sales and enter overseas markets in the future.

Vegetarian Restaurants with Michelin Green Star Taste

March 24, 2025 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

Other than fame, what do Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, and Zendaya all have in common? They have all chosen to live a vegetarian lifestyle! Vegetarianism is a popular dietary option among the younger generation who have a big heart for animal welfare and the world climate. It’s no surprise that vegetarianism has also spread throughout Korea, with many restaurants catering to these diners. Among these, there are two restaurants that are well known for their outstanding taste, even earning the Michelin Green Star.

Michelin Green Star, environmental friendly recognition

The Michelin Guide, the international guide to fine dining, released the Michelin Green Star rating system in 2021. This new addition gives stars to restaurants that use environmentally friendly ingredients to make their tasty dishes. There are two restaurants in Seoul that have earned this prestigious award for three years in a row! For a high-quality vegan experience, visit A Flower Blossom on The Rice or Hwanggeum Kongbat.

A Flower Blossom on The Rice, vegetarian dining as beautiful as a flower

Location┃Within Insa-dong, a top attraction in Seoul. Three-minute walk from Anguk Station (Seoul Subway Line 3)

Introduction┃A Flower Blossom on The Rice showcases just how beautiful a Korean vegetarian restaurant can be. Ninety-five percent of the restaurant’s ingredients are organic, pesticide-free, and animal welfare certified ingredients. The eggs come from chickens with a large area to roam, and the rice is cultivated by farmers who do not use pesticides.

Signature menus┃A Flower Blossom on The Rice’s signature menus are the bojagi bibimbap (limited lunch special) and the vegan course. The bojagi bibimbap is made by wrapping the rice in a sheet of fried egg yolk layers and decorated with a strip of seaweed and an edible flower. The rice filling is made with organic rice and six types of green vegetables for a hearty meal. The vegan course can be ordered as a full course or a half course, with each option including only 100% vegan foods. The course begins with a soup and salad before leading into savory vegetable pancakes and kimchi before the main course of rice and a stew, rounded out by dessert. Must-try dishes include the goatsbeard rice enjoyed by Michael Jackson during his trips to Korea, and the spicy Korean chili pepper japchae that comes with the full vegan course.

Hwanggeum Kongbat, a new world of bean curd cooking

Location┃A five-minute walk from Aeogae Station on Seoul Subway Line 5. It’s also a short 20-minute ride on the subway from Seoul Station.

Introduction┃Bean curd is one of the main ingredients used in vegetarian meals, thanks to the high level of protein found in soy beans, making it a good substitute for meat. At Hwanggeum Kongbat, the bean curd is made fresh every morning using 100% Korea-grown soy beans. Their bean curd became famous for its nutty flavor and smooth texture like that of pudding. The restaurant sends the soy bean pulp leftover from making the bean curd to farms to be used as animal fodder, earning high points from the Michelin Guide, which gives points for lower amounts of food waste!

Signature menus┃Hwanggeum Kongbat’s main menus are bean curd stew, salted bean curd soup, and bean curd course meal. If you enjoy spicy Korean food, try the bean curd stew, a dish served piping hot and spiced with Korean chili peppers. The salty bean curd soup is made with a vegetable broth salted with shrimp brine, making this dish only acceptable for pescatarians and pollotarians. If you order the bean curd course meal, you can try all of the restaurant’s signature dishes. From fresh bean curd made with just soy beans, water, and salt, to vegetable and tofu balls for vegetarians and bossam made with undyed pork for non-vegetarians, this course has something for everyone to enjoy.

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

Held on the largest-ever scale
InterBattery 2025, which was held from March 5 to 7 in Seoul, Korea, with 77,000 visitors, ended successfully. This year’s event was the largest ever, with 688 battery companies from 13 countries around the world and 2,330 booths.
The Battery Conference, where directors from three Korean battery companies ― LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI, and SK On ― participated as speakers, attracted nearly 1,000 visitors. The Battery Job Fair for battery talent recruitment attracted about 3,000 participants, creating a huge crowd. In fact, from the opening day on March 5 to the last day of the event, there were long lines of people waiting to enter the exhibition hall, and the booths of major companies were jam-packed with people trying to visit.

These booths drew keen attention of visitors by unveiling new battery products and technologies that will lead the future global battery market.
LG Energy Solution was a great drawcard by exhibiting the next-generation cylindrical battery 46 series that won the InterBattery Award, together with the Aptera Motors solar mobility vehicle that was introduced at CES 2025 in January.
Samsung SDI showcased differentiated technologies with its so-called ‘dream battery,’ all-solid-state battery, and advanced square battery products. It also displayed the 50-ampere (A) ultra-high-output cylindrical battery that won the ‘InterBattery Award,’ showing its determination to dominate the future battery market.

SK On emphasized its diversified portfolio by exhibiting all three form factors (product types) of pouch, square, and cylindrical. It also boasted its technological prowess in the safety field by unveiling a wireless battery management system (BMS) that does not require wiring.
In particular, this exhibition featured a feast of new battery technologies, with a variety of next-generation battery technologies competing fiercely. LG Energy Solution has revealed its plan to build an all-solid-state pilot line within the year. Samsung SDI has reaffirmed its plan to mass-produce its sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries in the second half of 2027. Meanwhile, SK On has presented a specific roadmap, stating that it will develop a prototype of a polymer-oxide composite battery this year, develop a pilot in 2026-2027, and commercialize them in 2028.

Competition to dominate the cylindrical battery market was also fierce. LG Energy Solution introduced the 46 series (diameter 46mm) cylindrical battery with increased energy and output compared to the existing 2170 cell (diameter 21mm, height 70mm). Samsung SDI unveiled a 50A-class ultra-high-output cylindrical battery with significantly enhanced output and the next-generation 46-pi lineup. In addition, SK On also introduced the actual 46-pi cylindrical battery for the first time.

This exhibition is evaluated as having established InterBattery as a truly global representative battery industry exhibition with the largest-ever number of overseas companies and organizations participating in the exhibition. The number of overseas companies participating in InterBattery has been increasing significantly every year ― from 101 in 2023, to 115 last year, and 172 this year.
The 172 companies and organizations from 13 countries participated including the USA, UK, China, Japan, and the Netherlands, introducing the latest technologies and new products by company and disclosing various kinds of information for attracting investments to each nation. In particular, BYD and EVE, two leading Chinese cell manufacturers, participated in this InterBattery for the first time, and a total of 79 Chinese companies participated in InterBattery this year, the largest number yet.

Portable & Wearable Underwater Propulsion Device

March 24, 2025 by Leave a Comment
https://korean-electronics.com//inquiry

[INQ. NO. 2503E15] KOLT Co., Ltd. is a spin-off company since 2022 with a new name of the existing marine leisure division of Serve Technology Co., Ltd. Serve Technology has secured expertise in factory automation systems through the introduction of advanced technology and automated manufacturing facilities as a specialized company of design, manufacturing, and installation of factory automation equipment since 1997.

KOLT is continuously conducting technology research and development and investment as a partner company for domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers and government-affiliated organizations, along with accumulating technology. It has been recognized by the engineering-related business community, and received the ‘Best Partner Award’ by providing engineering solutions to several global manufacturers in a timely manner.
Based on its outstanding technological prowess accumulated over 28 years, KOLT has launched a wearable personal underwater propulsion device called ‘SEAL BOOSTER,’ and is aiming for a second leap forward through this.
SEAL BOOSTER is expected to be utilized in various fields, from underwater and water leisure activities for the general public to skin scuba diving, diving professionals, rescue, the military, and for other special purposes.

Wearable underwater jet-pack with high-performance
SEAL BOOSTER is a personal portable/wearable underwater propulsion device specially designed for skindivers, freedivers, snorkelers, and those who enjoy various underwater sports.
SEAL BOOSTER started from the question of whether there was a safer and more convenient product for leisure diving or other underwater sports in a situation where water safety accidents are increasing.
Through continuous research and development, KOLT has completed a high-performance model (SB-N) specialized for rescue. It is currently receiving much attention from related government agencies and general related organizations.

The newly released model called SB-N is a high-performance model specially developed for rescue missions, and is drawing keen interest from the related industry these days. This model adopts a low-noise BLDC motor, and demonstrates powerful propulsion performance by using two lithium polymer batteries.
Also, unlike conventional underwater scooters (DPVs) or diver assist devices that require holding with both hands, SEAL BOOSTER is a wearable type that allows free use of both hands, thus allowing users to enjoy safe underwater activities with more freedom. In addition, it is designed and manufactured to prevent the risk of safety accidents that may occur during underwater activities as much as possible by using a water jet method rather than a propeller method.


SEAL BOOSTER can be safely stored in a dedicated hard case with excellent rigidity. It also has a battery case for storing a spare battery set, thus enabling users to move even more conveniently.
“We expect that SEAL BOOSTER will establish itself as an innovative item that will be a great hit in the global underwater scooter market, which is currently showing an average annual growth rate of more than 10%. And as the marine leisure population rapidly increases, we will add even more perfect products to keep up with the changing domestic and global leisure lifestyle trends such as boats and yachts,” remarked the company’s CEO.
