May 2022 Workshop

NEXTLab's workshop has returned with much welcome, as it had been canceled previously due to COVID19. This was our first workshop since January 2019, and so we were more excited than usual.The workshop destination was Ganghwa-Do(Ganghwa Island)~~~NEXTLab had grown very much in two years, so we rented a bus for the first time and it made me realize that we have truly expanded.(Let's give an applause to all the NEXTLab staff that have worked hard!)Since everybody had been waiting for this workshop, I decided to take out the work schedule from the itinerary and replace it with only refreshing ones.After we arrived at Ganghwa-Do and had lunch, the first activity on our itinerary was!“Luge!”  After enjoying the gondola ride up the mountain, the view was spectacular!We enjoyed the Luge even more thanks to the beautiful nature surrounding the tracks, and we were able to put our worries behind. After the exciting Luge ride, we returned to the lodge.Then, everyone had some free time. Some of us enjoyed football, while others took a walk at the sandy beach.Delicious barbecue party was prepared for dinner. Barbecue is the menu for Korean camping and trips!  The following program on our itinerary was fun recreation time!Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, so the recreation started later than I had planned. Wow, I didn't expect everyone to participate so enthusiastically! Maybe everyone missed the recreation time because of COVID19...?(Everyone had such a great time, that when everything ended, it was 11 p.m. :D )I'd like to give a big hand to Joonhan Kim, "The Little Mermaid," who was voted as MVP today!  The next day, after a very lively night, we had tasty crab soup for lunch.  Then, we visited "Geum Pung Brewery," which boasts a history of 100 years.I reserved the brewery tour program beforehand, and they were prepared for us. As soon as we arrived at the brewery, we began the tour by taking a few pictures outside the brewery building. (There was a reason for this...)Before the tour started for real, we sat down and had a tasting session of the Korean traditional soju, Makgeolli, while listening to the detailed history of the brewery and Makgeolli.  (This is not just a tasting session... I might get drunk!)The brewery gave us many kinds of Makgeolli, which had various tastes. Through the interesting brewery tour, everyone was able to receive good energy from the old history and tradition of 100 years.  The staff at Geum Pung Brewery gave us many gifts(lots of Makgeolli, cold storage bags, and many photos with pretty frames).After we finished the tour and returned to the room where we had the tasting session, they gave us pictures with pretty frames that had been taken at the beginning of the tour.They also made "Ginseng Makgeolli Latte" on the spot for us, and it even had a logo of NEXTLab printed on the top!I was really moved by Geum Pung Brewery's generosity! The taste impressed me too! I never knew that a brewery tour could be so touching!   Aside from the various gifts, the tour was very educative and meaningful too.If you are in charge of planning for a workshop, I recommend "Geum Pung Brewery" from the bottom of my heart!!  All NEXTLabbers had such a fun time until we returned to Seoul!I hope we utilize the energy we gained and achieve greater results, so that we could take a plane to our next workshop!

NEXTLab Attends Smart Factory + Automation World 2021

   NEXTLab attended Smart Factory + Automation World 2021(SFAW for short), which is the biggest smart factory and factory automation exhibition in Korea. It was held from 9.8.2021 to 9.10.2021, for a total of two nights and three days.   Due to Covid19, the exhibit had been put off from last year and we were a bit concerned about attending it, but it turned out that we didn’t have to worry much since many people with diverse needs visited our booth, leading to successful results.  We introduced two products - Beyond X-Ray and WideNET Camera, at this SFAW exhibition.  Beyond X-Ray is an equipment that can detect foreign objects bigger than 0.5mm in a second by connecting X-Ray devices regardless of their models. There is already a case where it was implemented in Vietnamese and Indonesian sewing factories and enabled easier and more precise foreign object detection which had been done by human eyes before. Next, WideNET Camera is a solution that uses one device to film a wide area then collects refined data based on AI-based self-analysis system.  It can be applied to various fields such as production rate measurement, abnormal behavior monitoring, and space monitoring.  We will be more than happy to consult you if you contact us via email contact@nextlab.co.kr for additional products and solutions.We are also planning to attend SFAW 2022 exhibition next year, and we shall work hard to present you with better technology and improved products!  :) 

netMeter POC in Indonesia [NEXTLab – Telkom Indonesia]

 Do you remember our “netMeter,” which we introduced to you last time? Now it’s expanding to overseas market! Currently, it is delivered to Korean wired network service providers and measures network quality on-site and verifies connection disruption area when network service providers first set up internet and IPTV connection at their customers’ homes or when they provide AS to customers.   NEXTLab’s netMeter completed POC with Indonesia’s biggest network service provider company, Telkom Indonesia!Applause, please!  **clap clap clap**Telkom Indonesia is a BUMN(state holding company), and it is the largest wired and wireless network service provider company in Indonesia, similar to KT of Korea. Its full name is “PT Telkomunikasi Indonesia,” and it is currently running various businesses related to communications environment.Also, it owns a leased line in Indonesia and maintains a high market share in both wired communications sector(telephone/internet) and wireless communications.  With this POC, NEXTLab’s netMeter’s commercial value potential was recognized not only in Korea but also overseas!Local POC enabled internet speed measurement used in Korea and all options of IPTV and VOD quality measurement. Furthermore, by customizing user environment and measurement methods adjusted to Indonesian local communications market, we will discuss local introduction soon. We shall look forward to seeing NEXTLab’s netMeter in Indonesia!

2nd Workshop in 2021 and Moving Party

NEXTLab holds a company workshop every quarter and employees share their key performances, OKR, and future plans. This time, it was a bit more special, because our headquarter office had expanded and moved, so it was our first workshop in the new office.  NEXTLab’s new address is 12th Floor, HS TOWER, 703 Seolleung-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.   The overall size of our office has expanded and now we have **2** meeting rooms, and even a massage chair in the staff lounge~!!

Our employees’ satisfaction has also increased because of the bigger office and pleasant work environment, and we hope to achieve even bigger goals in the future.We hope you continue to be interested in NEXTLab, as we are growing constantly!!Since this workshop was held in a more spacious meeting room compared to before the move, we were able to have group discussion sessions and share heartfelt opinions of all employees.  Next, we had meeting room name awards.Now that we have moved and own 2 wide meeting rooms, we held a naming contest to give names to them.  We collected all name candidates for the meeting rooms, then everyone voted to choose the best name. The first prize is…Du-doong Sil & Deo-deong Sil which Seyong Lee, our Solution Development Team Leader, suggested!! Honestly, don’t you think these names are soooo cute~??? NEXTLab’s new office is located on the 12th floor and takes pride in an amazing view, so whenever we hold meetings, it feels as if we are having them above the clouds. The names Du-doong Sil & Deo-deong Sil were chosen in the hopes that we can have happy meetings as if we are dancing in the sky. (Du-doong Sil & Deo-deong Sil are mimetic words that illustrate dancing in Korean) We hope to enjoy our meetings in Du-doong Sil! & Deo-deong Sil! mood and wish for good news that will make us dance~!For the next program, we had recreation time.We had lots of fun recreation programs prepared for this event!This time, we held Masked Singer Contest! It was so fun because many employees participated very enthusiastically, and I didn’t know that there were so many talented singers in our company! <<Although the contest participants were all anonymous, I think they’re THE BEST!!>> There were many good singers, but the 1st prize went to!!!“Wreath Man” who sang “Unlimited Orbit” with relentless dance! I guess his passionate moves won the hearts of many NEXTLabbers and got him many votes.NEXTLab’s workshop, where we share our performance, have group discussions on how to improve our company, and have exciting recreation programs, will continue every quarter. Keep your heads up for our next workshop!

Checking objective network quality

 NextLab has developed a portable network quality instrument.  A portable network quality measuring instrument is a device used to measure users' Internet quality.Internet service providers install new Internet lines at home or use them to conduct A/S due to quality problems.   Would you believe that such a pretty and small machine is a network quality instrument? ????This device not only evaluates the quality of the Internet, but also provides clues to identify and improve the cause of the network and other problems.Also, the cost is very reasonable and easy to manage, making it easy to evaluate the quality of the Internet anywhere.Currently, the performance deviation of each measuring device or region is very large about the quality of the Internet, so it was enough to refer to the measurement results.With the development of this portable network quality measuring instrument, we are looking forward to establishing objective indicators of Internet quality.    NextLab Youtube : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6kYqPthhkeAELsI9oJibCA

1st export, Beyond X-Ray

In October 2019, NEXTLab achieved its first export to Vietnam and Indonesia.No.1 export of NEXTLab is Beyond X-Ray.This machine provides high inspection performance by upgrading existing X-Ray machine.Beyond X-Ray has a high detection capability to detect even 1mm of foreign matter in the product.Also, the device, which is based on more than 200,000 extensive field data, is a device that has been developed.The detection rate is about 98.9%, which is very accurate and provides quick test results.It is designed to sit in front of the monitor to check for foreign objects and simply operate with a joystick.In the case of conventional inspection methods, it took a long time and it was difficult to pinpoint foreign substances.However, after the introduction of NEXTLab Beyond X-Ray, the efficiency of work has improved and employee satisfaction has been very high.NEXTLab is making continuous improvements to provide a more performance detection model, a more user-friendly interface.Based on the successful performance of local companies, we hope that we can help not only bags and clothing but also various businesses in the future.
