Pohang Iron and Steel Company introduces industrial robots... Accelerating the establishment of a safe work environment
POSCO Pohang Iron and Steel Company (Director Si-Yeol Chun) is accelerating the establishment of a safe work environment by introducing industrial robots to high-risk workplaces, prioritizing the safety of workers.
The newly introduced industrial robots are mainly installed by selecting high-risk tasks where workers are involved in operating equipment. It is known that this helps automate dangerous manual tasks for workers while also contributing to productivity improvement.
Representative factories where industrial robots are applied to high-risk tasks include the cold rolling department and STS rolling department of Pohang Iron and Steel Company.
The ‘Backing Roll Import Automation Robot’ was introduced to the cold rolling department plating plant. This robot automatically removes foreign substances on the roll. The introduction of the imported robot has enabled workers to perform work safely and efficiently without having to approach operating equipment.
The ‘Debanding Robot’ was introduced to the STS rolling department annealing and pickling plant to automatically cut the bands of coils, thereby ensuring the safety of workers. This has prevented injuries caused by cutting edges that could occur when workers manually cut coil bands.
What is particularly noteworthy is that this technology was achieved through close collaboration between POSCO and robot development companies in the Pohang area. Company officials said, “The successful application of this automated robot has provided an opportunity to further enhance the company’s competitiveness.”
Jeon Yeong-ho, head of the STS Annealing Plant, said, “The introduction of industrial robots has greatly improved worker safety, and collaboration with local robot development companies has also been successful.” He added, “We will continue to take the lead in creating a safer work environment through continuous technological innovation in the future.”
Pohang Iron and Steel Company is sharing these excellent smart technology cases within the company and plans to expand their application to similar processes. In addition, POSCO plans to continue to promote robot automation to create a safe work environment and develop more innovative robot technologies through collaboration with robot companies in the Pohang area. <저작권자 ⓒ 브레이크뉴스 대구경북 무단전재 및 재배포 금지>
