Abstract
The purposes of this study were to suggest 1) a future direction for Korea's machine tool industry and 2) how to secure the safety and reliability of emerging intelligent or automated machine tooling. The study concludes that, overseas, the machine tool industry is growing again while promoting innovation by converging with ICT. Accordingly, Korea also promotes ICT innovation to advance the machine tool industry, which is at the core of the national economy. As a result, unlike in the past, the frequency of serious injuries like entrapment accidents has recently decreased, while the proportion of collision accidents has increased. In addition, a new type of accident has become possible. Since ICT is network-based, the distinction between work and rest can become ambiguous; there is a risk of hacking, working hours and places are flexible and there are risk factors for diseases like chronic fatigue due to overload of specific personnel. As robots and automation are introduced, there is also a high probability of problems caused by physical and psychological burdens on system operators and resulting fatigue.
