This agreement was promoted to apply drone technology developed within the city to actual inspection sites, aiming to reduce safety blind spots and improve inspection efficiency.

Under the agreement, the three organizations plan to gradually expand facility inspections using drones. Drones can capture images and monitor areas that are difficult for people to access, such as high or wide sections, enabling faster detection of cracks, damage, and abnormal signs.

Based on this, Yangju City intends to enhance the efficiency of inspection processes and establish a smart safety inspection system that reduces on-site risks.

This project is particularly significant as it utilizes drone technology independently developed by BCD ENC Co., Ltd., a local Yangju company, for facility inspections within the city. By integrating the technological capabilities of local companies into public services, the initiative aims to promote both regional industrial growth and improved citizen safety.

In addition, Yangju City plans to use the Yangju Dronebot Talent Education Center as a specialized training hub to systematically nurture drone experts, establish a sustainable operational foundation, and set a standard model for public sector drone utilization.

An official from Yangju City stated, "Through this agreement, we will actively utilize drone technology for citizen safety and urban management, and provide comprehensive support so that talent development through the Dronebot Talent Education Center leads to local industry growth and job creation."

Yangju City also plans to gradually expand the scope of drone inspections in the future, while simultaneously developing standard inspection procedures and a data-based management system to enhance the utilization of inspection results.
