  "account": "SEOUL, South Korea - LG CNS, a top AI transformation firm in Korea, is set to showcase AI-powered smart factory solutions at IMTS 2026, the largest manufacturing technology trade show in North America. The exhibition, held in Chicago, is expected to attract over 1,800 exhibitors and 90,000 visitors from various manufacturing sectors such as automotive, aerospace, defense, energy, electronics, and medical devices. The theme of this year's IMTS is Industrial AI, focusing on leveraging AI across the entire manufacturing process to enhance efficiency and promote smarter operations. LG CNS will introduce several key solutions from its Factova platform, which leverages AI and IoT technologies to optimize production and enable more intelligent factories. One of Factova's core offerings is Factova Worldworks, a digital twin-based simulator that allows manufacturers to test and validate operations in a virtual environment before implementing them on the factory floor. This simulator recreates an actual factory in a 3D virtual setting, enabling manufacturers to test spatial layouts, data monitoring, and other aspects of production. Factova MES, another core solution, is a real-time manufacturing execution system that manages the entire production process by analyzing floor-level data, including equipment utilization, workforce activity, and raw material usage. Its modular design allows manufacturers to select only the necessary MES functions and scale accordingly. LG CNS will also present Factova Control, which has been enhanced with advanced AI capabilities. This solution collects and standardizes equipment data from various manufacturers in real-time for unified control. The AI analyzes electrical current, temperature, and vibration data from connected equipment, enabling it to predict equipment failures ahead of time and integrate seamlessly with higher-level systems like MES. With a proven track record of performance differentiation and quality across more than 100 manufacturing sites worldwide, LG CNS plans to capitalize on this success and deliver visible results for customers in North America.",
