KT joins KAIST, DAIM to drive next generation of autonomous manufacturing
Factories that once depended on human operators could soon run with far less intervention, as KT, the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and robotics company DAIM Research agreed Tuesday to develop technology that links artificial intelligence (AI) with machines on factory floors. KT said it signed a memorandum of understanding with KAIST and DAIM Research to develop, test…
Three leading Korean firms - KT, KAIST, and DAIM Research - have teamed up to pioneer the next generation of autonomous manufacturing, according to a memorandum of understanding signed on Tuesday. The collaboration aims to develop and commercialize technology that integrates artificial intelligence (AI) with factory floor machines, paving the way for factories that require minimal human intervention.
This initiative, dubbed "dark factories," will focus on automating manufacturing processes through a five-year project backed by the Ministry of Science and ICT.
KAIST and DAIM Research will each contribute their respective expertise to the project. KAIST will bring its robotics technology and platforms for managing logistics and manufacturing robots, while DAIM Research will provide platforms for integrating and managing various robots and AI systems. On the other hand, KT will supply an operating platform designed to seamlessly combine and manage the diverse AI and robot systems.
In addition to their technical contributions, the three firms will also leverage edge AI technology - which processes data near its source - alongside high-speed, low-latency network infrastructure. This combined approach will enable real-time processing and decision-making, further enhancing the capabilities of the autonomous manufacturing systems they aim to create.
