[한국건설기술연구원 스마트건설지원센터 보육기업 CEO] 고층건물 외벽도장공사 무인 자동화를 위해 설립한 도장로봇개발 전문기업 ‘드블류피에스’
드블류피에스는 변재식 대표(59)가 30여년간 도장업계에서 일하면서 부딪힌 여러 문제를 해결해 보고자 설립한 기업으로 도장로봇을 개발하고 있다.대표 아이템은 고층 외벽 도장을 무인 자동화하는 도장로봇 ‘ROLLOT’이다. “옥외 고층 도장작업용 장비는 여러 업체를 통하여 지난 8년 이상 개발 시도 되었는데 미완성이고, 현재 기술로는 불가하다는 결론입니다.“ 그리고 도장산업에서 큰 규제로 다가올 대기환경보전법에서는 기존에 잘 사용하던 뿜칠 장비를 사용하지 못하게 하는 법령이 입법, 시행을 앞두고 있는데, 유예, 계도기간을 거쳐 시행될 경우 현재로선 아무런 대안이 없는 상태입니다. 정확한 규제 형태는 뿜칠 장비를 사용 시 도료 비산이 안되게 비산방지막 설치를 하고 작업을 하라는 내용입니다.”이러한 상황 속에서 드블류피에스는 비산 방지막이 필요 없으며, 구조적으로 비산이 발생하지 않는 롤러식 도장 로봇을 개발했다. 원격 무인 컨트롤러에 의한 동작 방식으로, 지금 사양은 운전자가 직접운전방식으로 올해 운전이 편리한 모델을 출시할 계획이다.도장로봇 ROLLOT의 첫 번째 경쟁력은 비산방지막 없이 도장작업을 수행할 수 있다는 점이다.“도장 용구류 중 붓과 롤러는 상대적으로 무화, 공기 중 비산되는 도료가 원천적으로 없다는 것입니다. 도장 면의 여러가지 형태별 도장가능 유무를 가지고 개발 초기에 많은 궁금점들과 의문들을 많이 제기 했었습니다. 도장되어지는 면을 세분화하면, 평면, 요철면이며, 기타 설치물과 창과 같은 개구부 주변이 전부입니다. 이 부분별로 롤러도장이 가능한 로봇을 개발하였고, 이후 붓을 이용하여 롤러로 도장하지 못하

[한국건설기술연구원 스마트건설지원센터 보육기업 CEO] GNSS(위성항법시스템) 기반 초정밀 위치정보 기술을 개발하고 서비스하는 ‘네브시스’
네브시스는 독자 개발한 RTK-OMEGA 소프트웨어를 통해 기존 하드웨어 중심의 RTK 시스템 한계를 극복하고, 스마트폰·드론·자율주행차·스마트건설 등 다양한 분야에서 센티미터 이하급 위치 정밀도를 제공하는 기업이다. ‘위치정보의 새로운 표준을 만든다’는 사명으로 국내를 넘어 글로벌 시장에 도전하고 있다. 김성진 대표(55)가 2021년 1월에 설립했다.대표 아이템인 RTK-OMEGA는 기존 GNSS RTK 기술이 가지는 하드웨어 의존성·느린 초기화 속도·높은 비용 문제를 근본적으로 해결한 순수 소프트웨어 기반 초정밀 위치 측위 솔루션이다. GNSS 수신 신호에서 정수 모호도(Integer Ambiguity)를 신속·정확하게 계산하여, ‘밀리미터~센티미터급 위치 정확도를 실시간(Real-Time)으로 전 세계 어디서나’ 제공할 수 있다.“이 기술의 가장 큰 차별점은 기존의 GNSS RAW DATA를 이용하여 하드웨어 교체 없이, 기존 장비·모바일에 소프트웨어 적용만으로 초정밀화를 구현한다는 점입니다. 이는 곧 장비 제조사·운영사 입장에서 비용 절감과 도입 속도 단축이라는 두 가지 혁신을 동시에 제공합니다.”RTK-OMEGA는 다양한 분야에서 활용이 가능하다. 군사 분야에서는 무인기·전술차량·자율주행 로봇의 경로 추적 정밀도를 향상하고, 모빌리티 분야에서는 공유 모빌리티·자율주행차량의 차선 단위 내비게이션을 가능하게 하며, 스마트건설·시설물 모니터링에서는 교량·댐·대형 구조물의 변위 변화를 실시간 감지할 수 있다. 즉, RTK-OMEGA는 ‘칩셋모듈 기반 RTK’ 시장을 대체하는 차세대 표준이자, 국방·교통·건설·물류 등 모든 산

It made me desire to create a service like this someday. After that, I had the opportunity to join Fliption Korea. It was a challenging time, but it also awakened a passion in me. I consistently developed a product, launched it in the market, evaluated feedback, made improvements, and repeated the process. As time passed, I began to feel that the service domain and customer groups were too restrictive. They didn’t spark my interest or motivate me to take on new challenges. After a lot of thought, I chose a field that I thought would be engaging and challenging for a long time, and that’s how zylo-docs started.”An API, or application programming interface, is essentially an agreement that outlines how different programs will communicate with each other.

This, in turn, increases their chances of getting into the university of their choice. Everyone on our team came from outside the capital region but went to a university in Seoul.

WeKorea CEO Geonmin Lee aimed to improve the very first inconvenience that foreigners face when they arrive in Korea.Lee said, “As soon as you arrive in a foreign country, you have to obtain bedding and daily necessities.

With the idea of ‘let’s solve that inconvenience from the very first day,’ we launched LIVING KO.”LIVING KO is a service that delivers a kit of daily essentials to a foreigner’s accommodation or dormitory before they arrive in Korea. Customers can select the items they need—such as bedding, hair dryers, towels, toiletries, and cleaning supplies—in the configuration they prefer. Since ordering is possible prior to arrival, the service provides an early-stage online shopping infrastructure that had effectively been absent for foreigners in Korea.The service supports four languages—English, Chinese, Japanese, and Vietnamese—and accepts overseas payments, meaning that customers can place orders without a Residence Card or Korean phone number. To support foreigners who are new to Korea, the company also operates a 100% refund guarantee for those who are not satisfied after receiving their items.Through service expansion, WeKorea now offers nationwide delivery to general accommodations and has established customized logistics systems for each university dormitory.“Because each school handles parcel delivery differently, we designed separate regional hub warehouses and logistics systems.
