Sizl Expands AI Solutions Into Environmental Industry, Seeks Waste EPC Business With Seondo Construction Environment

SIZL, which has provided AI-based process management technology centered on manufacturing sites, has teamed up with Seondo Construction Environment to extend that technology into the environmental and resource-circulation industries. SIZL signed an MOU with Seondo Construction Environment to develop waste-to-fuel resource recovery and build an AI-based smart processing system.

Seondo Construction Environment provides services that connect waste collection, transportation, sorting, and treatment, and it has accumulated field experience and R&D capabilities in the sector. SIZL's technology is integrated process management based on IIoT, AI, and data analysis.

The two companies will combine Seondo Construction Environment's waste treatment field capabilities with SIZL's technology to advance the waste treatment system. To that end, they plan to conduct joint analysis and treatment work using actual waste.

The items the two companies will analyze are the composition and mixed state of the waste, as well as its potential for fuel use. Data secured during the treatment process will be reflected in future process design, equipment configuration, and operating conditions.

SIZL plans to invest the costs and resources needed for the related analysis and treatment work. It also plans to use data secured in the field for system design and performance verification. In addition, it will apply equipment data linkage and process management technology accumulated in manufacturing to waste treatment sites and promote the establishment of an integrated management system for waste treatment facilities.

In the process, SIZL plans to analyze the characteristics of the waste handled by Seondo Construction Environment and the purpose of treatment. Based on that, it plans to select and install key equipment such as crushers, sorters, and grinders. It will then build an integrated control and monitoring system.

SIZL is considering a way to link equipment from different manufacturers into a single system. Through this, it aims to establish a framework that supports operating status by equipment and management of the overall process flow. It also plans to support coordinated operation among equipment at each process stage.

Through this collaboration, Seondo Construction Environment plans to expand its capabilities from its existing waste sorting and treatment business into the fuel resource recovery sector. Through this collaboration, SIZL plans to broaden the scope of application for its data-based equipment integration and process management technology to the environmental industry.

SIZL is seeking to enter the waste EPC business in order to expand its business into waste treatment. To that end, it is reviewing business models for designing treatment processes by waste type and characteristics, while also looking at plans that include equipment selection and procurement. It is also reviewing a model that links installation through the establishment of an integrated operating system.

The two companies plan to use the results of on-site analysis and data secured from actual processes. Based on that, they plan to pursue joint analysis and system development, and strengthen their equipment operation and management capabilities as well. A SIZL official said the collaboration has created an opportunity to apply the equipment integration and process management technology accumulated at manufacturing sites to the waste treatment sector. The official also said the company is pursuing the establishment of an equipment configuration and integrated monitoring system suited to the characteristics of waste together with Seondo Construction Environment.

Based on the technology and operating experience accumulated through joint work, the two companies are reviewing future commercialization potential. They also plan to pursue detailed cooperation tasks step by step. Through this, they aim to gradually flesh out follow-up collaboration as well.

SIZL plans to use this project as a springboard to promote broader application of manufacturing-site data and AI technology across industries. A SIZL official said the project is a starting point for expanding the data and AI technology used in manufacturing sites into other industries. The official added that the company is also reviewing the possibility of expanding into EPC businesses in the environmental sector.
