Academy focuses on solving sci-tech problems arising in practice

April 29, 2026

The State Academy of Sciences has solved urgent scientific and technological problems arising in practice including the reduction of costs and the ensuring of the sustainability of production through the improvement of the efficiency of the productive forces.

The scientists of Paper Engineering Institute, who were dispatched to the Unsan Paper Mill in South Phyongan Province, are further perfecting the paper production process by finding innovative ways to update technical indices at each process and machine while reducing production costs associated with raw materials, chemical agents, etc.

Those of the Control Machine Institute introduced a high-precision NC device, test robot and the like into production units last year. At present, they are working on the calculation of distance and speed control for confirming the design and technical indices for their research project.

The institute is also developing a CNC device with the economic efficiency capable of enhancing the system reliability based on software structure and ensuring various kinds of functions of multi-axis, special and complex processing.

The scientists of the Automation Institute made lots of sci-tech achievements in the past, including the completion of research into an automatic combustion control system based on the principle of optimum amount of oxygen and the establishment of an integrated automation system for the thenardite production process. They are pushing ahead with the establishment of integrated automation systems for different production processes including that for the reduced iron production process based on coal gasification-vertical reduction furnace.
