Umi Construction announced on the 13th that it signed a strategic partnership with Samsung C&T for housing service technology at Rinse Square on the 11th.
At the signing ceremony, Baek Young-han, president of Umi Construction, and Kim Sang-guk, vice president of Samsung C&T, along with other officials, attended.
Samsung C&T's apartment service platform, 'HomeNick,' is based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and provides various life services, including digital smart home functions, culture, leisure, and health management. Through this agreement, Umi Construction plans to sequentially apply HomeNick, starting with new development complexes.
Using HomeNick allows residents to conveniently manage basic smart home functions such as energy usage monitoring, remote control of lighting and appliances, and parcel notifications, as well as community facility reservations, management fee inquiries, and visitor vehicle registration, all through a single mobile app.
The two companies aim to continuously pursue technology development and service enhancement through this collaboration, while raising the brand value and competitiveness of each company.
Baek Young-han, president of Umi Construction, said, "Through this strategic partnership, we will provide residents with an even smarter living environment and support personalized lifestyles, thereby creating new value in housing," and noted, "We will leap forward as a corporation leading future housing culture through continuous research and development."
Kim Sang-guk, vice president of Samsung C&T, said, "Through collaboration with Umi Construction, we will provide comprehensive residential convenience to Umi Lin residents, including management fee inquiries, community facility reservations, and various life services, thereby creating a richer residential culture."
