Jeon Hwa-sung's Startup Morning Coffee #1197: Innovation Labs

"Startup Morning Coffee" is a popular YouTube program hosted live by CEO Jeon Hwa-seong every day at 8:40 AM on the 'Jeon Hwa-seong's CNTV' channel. This program introduces the core competencies and market potential of various startups, establishing itself as a useful information platform for the startup ecosystem through real-time comment interaction with viewers. The company that has recently captured attention is JK Technology. This company presents innovative solutions that address significant challenges faced by the electric vehicle (EV) used battery market. Its goal is to resolve chronic issues such as high accident risk, low inspection reliability, and inefficient diagnostic times – which can take over 8 hours – that commonly arise in the battery resource circulation process, including remanufacturing, reuse, and recycling. JK Technology is emerging as a leader in this field by developing a BICS (Battery Information and Control System)-based non-charger-interlinked EV battery state diagnosis and user-integrated monitoring system. JK Technology's core competitiveness lies in its proprietary AI-based diagnostic system and high-precision data collection technology. The AI-based Pre-Diagnostic Classification System (AI PDCS) maximizes the accuracy of its predicted impedance (HI) and integrates this with real-time analytical data to predict the battery's state of health (SOH) with astonishing precision. Furthermore, the high-precision data collection technology utilizing the Used Battery Integrated System (MBMS) collects and analyzes real-time voltage and temperature information for each module and cell within a battery pack. This is an essential technology for proactively controlling and safely monitoring overheating and fire risks caused by cell-specific voltage differences, and it possesses the potential to fundamentally revolutionize the safety and efficiency of the used battery market. CEO Jeon Hwa-seong highly praised JK Technology as "a leader that has implemented essential 'safe, fast, and highly reliable AI-based diagnostics' in the rapidly growing electric vehicle used battery market." Their technology, which drastically shortens diagnostic times compared to existing methods and enables precise cell-level monitoring, is expected to make a significant contribution to building core infrastructure for the battery resource circulation economy. The future of JK Technology, currently accelerating its technological advancement through CNTTECH's Kibo Venture Camp support program, is drawing significant attention.
