Take various measures to lead the 4th Industrial Revolution
 ▲ Oh Jun-cheol, CEO of GST Co., Ltd.
Globally, smart manufacturing is changing the manufacturing industry in tandem with the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Almost all fields related to manufacturing, management, distribution, etc. are newly changing, and the domestic manufacturing industry is showing great interest in innovative changes in accordance with these trends. In order to lead the project, we will explore ideas and reflect them in our policies.
The Ministry of Small and Medium Venture Business and the National Root Industry Promotion Center announced the `` Survey for Exploring New Support Projects for Root Enterprises Automation and Advanced Support Projects in 2018 '' in order to support the automation and advancedization of root companies. The purpose of this study is to investigate the related demands for root processes that require continuous process automation for the purpose of finding new tasks in the automation and advanced support projects.
In addition, KOTRA has jointly operated customized training courses in response to the Fourth Industrial Revolution era, such as' Global Smart Factory Benchmarking Overseas Training System 'and' Advanced Enterprise Technology R & D Training System ', utilizing the overseas network to support domestic companies' productivity and external competitiveness. He also revealed his plan.
In this trend, many companies are adopting smart factories to automate their systems. Naturally, companies that specialize in "smart factory building" and "e-business solutions" are attracting attention.
GST, located in the Buk-gu Knowledge Industry Center, Busan, is a representative company.The company has established a smart factory roadmap and consulting, ERP, MES / POP, SCM, manufacturing IoT, manufacturing big data analysis, etc. It offers solutions and services, and the industry's current trends and government-driven policies are moving into this trajectory, creating greater issues for the industry.
CEO GJTI Oh Jun-cheol, who graduated from school in 1992 in search of a job, left the company after working for about 13 years at a mid-sized steel company. The 38-year-old decided to start a business at a relatively young age, and in 2005 he founded Greenway System, the current GSTS, and became a corporation in 2008.
Many of GST's customers are rooted companies such as MCM, Shinwoo Metal, Iljin Metal, Shinhwa ST, Korea Precision Industries, etc. In addition, Panasia, Men's Precision, Gwangmyeong Ink Manufacturing, Wonkwang Valve, etc. Chose GST to build ERP and MES.
In addition, GST is now expanding into the central and metropolitan areas, including Chungnam, a leader in the ultra-precision processing industry, and building and expanding smart factory systems for manufacturing companies in Gyeonggi-do.
In fact, most root companies are so small that it is not easy to smart their operating systems. Nevertheless, it is highly likely that root companies will lose their competitiveness if they turn away from smartization in the future.
CEO Oh said, “We are supporting the smartization of root companies at low cost.” “We are moving our IT infrastructure to cloudization and applying IIoT to our production sites. Instead, 'the office and the factory are one,' smartization. ”
"We are presenting a big framework for companies, such as analyzing big data and empirical data through smartization," he added. "This will lead to smart factories, and talent development will follow."

GSTI's Investments and Challenges Continue in the New Year
GS has been continually developing new investments and challenges for the future.
First, GST was selected as a professional supplier for cloud-based smart factory construction business in the MES field, which is a smart factory system that is 25 ~ 35% cheaper for manufacturing companies than existing construction type. The result is also quite good.
In March last year, the Public-Private Smart Factory Promotion Team selected eight suppliers of cloud-type smart factories nationwide, and carried out smart factory dissemination projects. I joined the ranks proudly in the field.
It is noteworthy that unlike other SaaS-focused suppliers, GST established its own IDC center in Busan, making it the only company that has been approved to integrate cloud services in the MES sector including IaaS, PaaS and SaaS based on C # .NET (.Net). will be.
CEO Oh said, “In this project, GST performed cloud-based smart factory projects of seven companies, including three in Busan, three in Gyeongnam and one in Chungcheong.” “Last S on December 26 last year. We have achieved excellent results with three companies in the class and four companies in the A class. ”
This is a significant event, although GSST is a Busan-based small and medium-sized company, it has played a leading role in the national competition. In particular, three companies that have received excellent S-class ratings are linked to manufacturing big data supported by the Public-Private Joint Smart Factory Promotion Team. Will provide insight.
In addition, it was selected as a business to secure a bridgehead for overseas expansion, and helped local manufacturing companies to increase productivity by developing and distributing IIoT devices that can interface with machine tools in the field of low-cost, high-efficiency precision processing. 'This is the achievement of GST which is emerging in the new year.
Oh said, “In August last year, we acquired AI patents for the intelligent molding real-time analysis system, which is one of the core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It is more advanced, preemptive and highly effective for local manufacturing companies. We have a system to support you. ”

What's the breakthrough and breakthrough in the flagship industry?
At present, the shipbuilding and automobile industries, which were the main industries of our country, are in a very serious recession. The pain is exacerbated because root companies are highly dependent on the shipbuilding and auto parts industries.
Oh said, “Our industry, including the root industry, has not been able to find a breakthrough even in the new year.” As the care progresses, projects in each field must be actively carried out. ”
He added, “There is a shortage of jobs available for those in their mid 40s and mid 60s,” he added. “We need a way to put such manpower into practice through retirement education.”
Job seekers are unable to find work even though small and start-ups are not easy to find. Mr. Oh's idea seems to find a way to solve both the job and job search difficulties.
Oh also pointed out that "industrial training for students is an option," he said. "In the past, universities were more technologically advanced than corporations.
“Academic-industrial business models such as the Industry-University Cooperation Group and the Link Project Group are currently being established.” Taking R & D projects as an example, we can subdivide them into production sites and build practical industry-academic cooperation models through national projects. ”
Meanwhile, GST is launching 2018 with the goal of `` the company that actively supports the competitiveness of many manufacturing companies in the region and the nation's manufacturing companies '' and `` the company that grows with future value. ''
