Architech Co., Ltd. (CEO Jaewoong Bang) participated in the Future Innovation Tech Expo 2024 (FIX 2024), held at EXCO from October 23 to 26, to showcase its smart construction solution, VisionCM.
Architech is an innovative company using ICT technology to drive digital transformation in the construction industry. Founded by experts in energy systems engineering and architecture, Architech focuses on energy plants, SOC (social overhead capital), and the water industry, emphasizing technologies for carbon neutrality and environmental sustainability.
The company has developed a data-driven infrastructure platform that integrates and systematically manages information generated throughout the construction and maintenance lifecycle. This platform aims to enhance data flow and decision-making in the design, construction, supervision, and maintenance phases, thereby improving industry productivity and boosting national competitiveness.
Currently operating within the National Water Industry Cluster, Architech collaborates with various companies and research institutions, including Kyungpook National University and Seoul National University of Science and Technology. Within its first year, the company achieved sales of approximately 100 million KRW across two projects and aims to reach 300 million KRW in revenue.
Architech’s platform incorporates video equipment and sensors to implement safety monitoring, fire detection, and automation services. Unlike traditional PMIS methods, it collects site-specific micro-data, enabling more precise predictions and management without expensive equipment and making it more accessible to users.
The company is also developing sensor-based safety and monitoring solutions for water resource facilities. These systems leverage AI-driven data analysis and prediction algorithms to preemptively identify and address potential issues during maintenance, enhancing efficiency and safety in water resource management.
At FIX 2024, Architech presented VisionCM, a smart construction solution that leverages big data, AI, and IoT technologies to enhance safety and productivity on construction sites. VisionCM collects and analyzes real-time site data to prevent accidents, improve work efficiency, and optimize resource management through an integrated management system.
Looking ahead, Architech plans to expand internationally, targeting countries like Japan, Singapore, and China, where ICT technologies in construction and energy are actively adopted. The company also aims to enter regions with large-scale construction projects, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
An Architech representative stated, “Based on domestic market performance, we plan to establish joint ventures and expand into global markets. Participating in exhibition-linked POC programs will demonstrate the system’s benefits to international clients, build a track record of successful deliveries, and expand our customer base through domestic and global promotions.”
FIX 2024 featured specialized exhibitions, conferences, and business programs focusing on mobility, robotics, AI, and startups. The Daegu International Future Auto & Mobility Expo 2024 at EXCO’s East Wing showcased trends in UAM, autonomous driving, batteries, components, and services. Meanwhile, the 2024 ICT Convergence Expo Korea, held in the West Wing, exhibited AI, big data, blockchain, ICT, and metaverse technologies. The 2024 Daegu Robot Expo displayed industrial robots, humanoid robots, and digital transformation solutions for the robotics industry. The “Startup Arena” was introduced to facilitate meetings between startups and experts from startup accelerators like Samsung C-Lab and Plug and Play.
