Blue Tech Co., Ltd. CEO Choi Young ho
It promotes the stabilization of agricultural industry such as by shortening the period of growth with the highest efficiency.
Headquartered in Jincheon, Chungcheongbuk-do, Blue Tech Investment Co., Ltd. (CEO Choi Young-Ho), is moving full fledgedly with the formation of a smart farm using renewable energy. Founded in 2018, Blue Tech Co., Ltd. has formed a research and development department after the project to form a smart farm using new and renewable energies was selected as a national project in May, and together with the ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications, it has promoted the manufacturing and installation of display equipment, solar systems, and smart farm systems. As a result of taking such a prompt response to the market changes, this company has achieved a sales of KRW 2.05 billion as of the end of October this year.

The smart farm formation research project, which entailed KRW 80 million of the total project cost and which was supervised by the Chungbuk Innovation Institute of Science & Technology, is expected to increase further in the future, with its performance expected to reach about KRW 100 million by the end of this year. The core of the smart farm formation project using new and renewable energies that this company is promoting lies with the ‘plant factory.’ It means an automatic plant cultivation system that forms an optimal artificial environment according to the plant characteristics, and offers the advantage of more stably producing crops regardless of weathers and seasons.
Based on the growth and environmental monitoring, a plant factory system which can help the plants grow has been built. It is a system which can control all conditions needed for the plants’ growth, such as light, temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide concentration, nutrients, and moisture, breaking away from the method of growing crops primarily on the farmland.
Meanwhile, it has focused on exporting auto parts, solar power plants, real estate development, and manufacturing automation facilities. It has harnessed unrivaled technologies for maximizing the energy efficiency and increasing productivity for the process of plant factory operation. Included here are the technologies for applying the new heat shielding materials, including cooling and heating systems, as well as the evaporative cooling spray nozzle devices and the vertical cultivation systems.
It is expected to replace the existing plant factory system and further expand its scope to the sterilization market
Blue Tech Co., Ltd. plans to accelerate making its entry into the market based on the smart farm system. Plant factories utilize cutting-edge technologies under the given control to shorten the period of growth and increase productivity per unit area, thereby enabling a stable agricultural industry. Accordingly, CEO Choi Young-Ho plans to take the lead in enhancing the reliability of the cold stored and refrigerated vehicles by linking blockchain technologies with the goal of strengthening the cold chain. Furthermore, a plan to extend the plant preservation period by maximizing the energy efficiency of the low-temperature warehouse is continuously undergoing development.

Inside the smart farm
The formation of a smart farm using new and renewable energies is expected to replace the existing plant factory system and expand its scope to the sterilization market. It is also expected to replace the imported sterilization equipment in the future and increase the energy efficiency of the cooling system. In order to expand the overseas exports and domestic distribution business full fledgedly, it plans to merge with Woori Community Co., Ltd., a company specialized in the online business, by the end of this year.
Accordingly, the cash flow stabilization and the sales volume expansion could now be expected through the business expansion. Meanwhile, CEO Choi said, “Plant factories are capable of stabilizing the agricultural revenue and producing the customized agricultural products, and so they can promptly respond to the market changes,” and said, “Since it is easy to change the items and facility structure, we will continue to design the new materials based smart farm greenhouses and plant factories with the goal of developing the plastic recycling, heat reinforced new material cover, and the solar powered cooling and heating module system, etc.”
