RCT Account Manager Shane Smith said he is pleased to have formalised the agreement.

“RCT is proud to be partnering with a capable company such as Haein Corporation and we look forward to supplying technological solutions that will help protect local workforces and optimise operations,” he said.

“Our flagship ControlMaster® products have a proven history operating in harsh environments around the world and are an ideal solution for operating in extreme heat scenarios which are common in the South Korean steel processing industry.”

“Going forward Haein Corporation with provide local technical support for end users while being backed up by RCT’s own customer service team.”

A spokesperson for Haein Corporation said: “our customer POSCO is very satisfied with RCT. This makes Haein Corporation have confidence in RCT and we have now contracted two more deals with other customers.”

“Haein Corporation is looking forward to new business with RCT and hope to expand to working with many more customers in South Korea,” they said.

The technology partnership is the latest development in RCT’s business dealings in South Korea which began in 2014.

World-leading autonomous solutions specialist RCT has finalised its latest automation project for major steel-making company POSCO at one of its steel refineries in South Korea.

RCT recently worked with its technology partner Haein Corporation to supply and commission the company’s ControlMaster® Line-of-Sight solution onto one CAT D9T dozer.

RCT also supplied a portable two-camera vision system placed at strategic locations on the dozer feeding to a monitor on the Line-of-Sight remote.

The dozer was commissioned at POSCO’s smelter and refinery in Pohang and will be used to safely manage molten steel waste products produced as a result of the refining process.

The ControlMaster® solution enables local machine operators to stand at a safe distance and access the machine’s full range of functions with the Line-of-Sight remote.

The CAT D9T is the third machine of its kind to be commissioned with the ControlMaster® automation solution at the Pohang refinery.

RCT Account Manager Shane Smith said the solution is a safe and reliable option for site personnel.

“The refinery’s work zone can experience extremely high temperatures so it is essential that machine operators remove themselves from the area while also accessing the dozer’s full range of functions,” he said.

“ControlMaster® has a proven history of working effectively in these very harsh environments.”

“Going forward Haein Corporation will provide on-ground technical assistance to staff at Pohang backed up by RCT’s own Customer Service support.”
