E-Soltec (CEO Song Jong-woon), a special energy-saving special structure company, announced on the 9th that it will receive the Innovative Research and Development (R&D) Award in recognition of its contribution to developing a COVID-19 smart sound pressure automation screening clinic at the "2021 Korea Safety Industry Fair" held online by the Ministry of Public Administration and Security from the 13th to the 17th.

Since 2019, E-Soltec has won four awards in relation to automated screening clinics: the 2020 Energy Efficiency Award of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (Minister Award), the 2020 Ministry of Public Administration and Security's Best Regulatory Innovation Award (Minister Award), and the 2019 Industrial Design Award.

The company has been continuously upgrading automated screening clinic performance in line with virus enhancement criteria to cope with COVID-19. As the number of people tested for gene amplification (PCR) increased due to the recent fourth wave, it developed a negative pressure automated mass specimen screening clinic.

The latest model will be released at the Korea Safety Industry Fair. The latest smart negative pressure screening clinic is a large-capacity sample system that allows for rapid and safe testing based on empirical data from more than 20 locations nationwide and virus information obtained through additional experiments for more than a year at the first screening clinic.

CEO Song Jong-woon said, "As we have received attention from local governments and other government offices, we will continue to develop modular sound pressure wards and smart mobile hospitals to help overcome national disasters and crises.".
