Smart Food Safety

Jeon Hwa-sung's YouTube program 'Startup Morning Coffee,' which delivers vibrant news from the startup ecosystem every morning, this time shined a spotlight on SM HACCP, a company leading digital innovation in food manufacturing. Broadcast live at 8:40 AM on the 'Jeon Hwa-sung's CNTV' channel, the program has established itself as a valuable information platform, engaging in real-time communication with viewers while deeply exploring the core competencies and market potential of various startups. SM HACCP, introduced this time, is an AI-based DX (Digital Transformation) platform company for food manufacturing, focusing on resolving the limitations of manual work, complexities of quality control, and inefficient manufacturing cost management that have long plagued food processing sites. They provide a system that organically integrates and manages the entire food manufacturing process, from order reception and production instructions to precise quality control and final shipment, aiming to dramatically increase production efficiency. Currently, SM HACCP is further strengthening its innovativeness through CNT Tech's sports accelerator support program. SM HACCP's unique strength lies in its integrated solution combining MES/PCM (Manufacturing Execution System/Production Control System) with AI vision quality analysis and robotic automation facilities. This solution, which seamlessly manages all processes from product planning and packaging to real-time production quality monitoring and shipment inspection, is accelerating its business expansion by offering common modules as SaaS (Software as a Service), based on the extensive know-how accumulated from its initial System Integration (SI) business. This reduces the initial investment burden on client companies and enables more flexible system utilization, serving as a strategic foothold for widespread market penetration. CEO Jeon Hwa-sung highly praised SM HACCP's future growth potential, emphasizing that it targets approximately 720,000 domestic food manufacturers amidst the explosive growth of the smart factory market. SM HACCP plans to continuously expand its market share by providing diverse services, including advanced quality analysis technology, MES/ERP integration technology, and robot automation consulting. Particularly, it is expected to achieve sales of approximately 4.1 billion Korean Won in 2024, with stable and continuous revenue growth anticipated through upselling and cross-selling strategies targeting existing food factories. SM HACCP will lead smart innovation in the food manufacturing sector and become a crucial player illuminating the industry's future.
