E-Soltec (CEO Song Jong-woon), an energy-saving modular house producer, announced on the 7th that it has been selected as the government's two projects to develop infectious and disaster prevention technology.
E-Soltec, which has developed a mobile automated screening clinic that can safely conduct COVID-19 screenings, was selected as the organizer of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's promising technology 'National Land Transport Technology Commercialization Support Project'. Together with Sendori, the Korea Institute of Construction and Living Environment Testing (KCL), and Hanbat University, the company will invest 2.1 billion won in total project costs, including 1.3 billion won in state funds, by June 2023.
It plans to develop a mobile negative pressure room that can respond to national infectious disease disasters such as COVID-19, expand autonomously, and quickly install and dismantle, and sell and export domestically.
The company will combine its own modular technology with Sendori Heat Recovery Ventilation System (ERV), air conditioning ventilation technology, and Hanbatdae mobile sound pressure ward optimization air conditioning system design. KCL is responsible for product and technology demonstration and certification guidelines development. Through this, it will develop an integrated built-in module expansion-type non-face-to-face smart sound pressure ward and distribute it to the government, local governments and medical institutions after commercialization within the shortest period of time.
E-Soltec was also selected as a participant in the "Infectious Disease Quarantine Technology Development Project" supported by the pan-ministerial cycle medical device research and development project group. Together with Cheonan Hospital and Haewoo Technology affiliated with Soonchunhyang University, it plans to develop "smart sound pressure system-based mobile module screening clinic quarantine technology" with 940 million won out of 1.1 billion won in total project cost over the next two years.
The mobile module screening clinic with an automated sound pressure system is equipped with a systematic sound pressure and specimen management system. It is expected to greatly contribute to preventing the spread of infection by increasing the speed and fluidity of COVID-19 tests.
Previously, E-Soltech developed a COVID-19 mobile automated screening clinic that combines materials and parts from 11 SMEs, including Sendori, Green Insulator, and JP Industries, and delivered it to 17 regions, including Gwangju Gwangsan-gu Office, National Medical Center, and local governments, through public procurement agencies. As a quarantine company that quickly responded to the COVID-19 era and turned the crisis into an opportunity, it was introduced to domestic and foreign media, contributing to enhancing the status of K-quarantine.
CEO Song Jong-woon said, "In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the importance of negative pressure isolation rooms that can treat critically ill patients is growing," adding, "We will contribute more to the expansion of K-quarantine by developing negative pressure isolation rooms.".
