"Towards the AI·Data-Driven Smart Manufacturing 2.0 Era"

[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] The government has decided to establish an AI small and medium venture manufacturing platform that supports the AI smart factory transformation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by storing, analyzing, and utilizing data generated from smart factories.

On the 23rd, the Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced the "AI and Data-Based SME Manufacturing Innovation Advancement Strategy" at the Seoul Government Complex.

The ministry plans to build 50 standard models that allow SMEs to easily solve manufacturing process issues using AI by utilizing data from the SME manufacturing platform, and will provide expert consulting and demonstration services.

By linking the achievements of the SME manufacturing platform with dissemination projects, the government aims to create 1,000 cutting-edge "5G+AI smart factories" by 2025 and establish 20 digital clusters.

Through R&D in three major manufacturing innovation areas?value chain linkage, flexible production, and smart work?the plan is to advance key smart manufacturing technologies to a leading level and systematically build demonstration infrastructures such as testbeds. To this end, an additional 15,000 AI manufacturing personnel will be trained, including experts capable of AI analysis through SME contract departments.

Furthermore, to lead manufacturing innovation based on AI and data, the government will add and reorganize an advanced operating system centered on the SME manufacturing platform, and plans to launch a public-private joint SME manufacturing platform task force in the second half of this year to lead the AI and data-based manufacturing innovation advancement project.

Kang Sungcheon, Vice Minister of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, explained, "We plan to transform the data that has remained within factories into MyData, opening the era of 'My Manufacturing Data' where data not only improves productivity but also generates revenue."
