Naver Provides OCR Service to Hanmi Pharm

Future Application in Purchasing, Sales, and Research Fields

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Naver Business Platform (NBP) announced on the 20th that it has provided Hanmi Pharmaceutical with its Optical Character Recognition (OCR) service on the Naver Cloud Platform.

Hanmi Pharmaceutical introduced NBP's OCR service at its smart factory, the largest production facility in South Korea, located in Paltan-myeon, Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province. This has enabled documents handwritten in GMP to be immediately converted into digital format.

OCR is a technology that recognizes text in images or documents and converts it into digital data. It is researched and developed by Naver Clova, Naver's artificial intelligence (AI) business unit, and is available as a cloud service through NBP. This service analyzes image files recognized through scanning and converts the data into text files.

Im Tae-geon, Executive Director of NBP Cloud Sales, explained, "The Naver Cloud Platform OCR service has outstanding recognition rates not only for printed fonts but also for Korean handwriting."

Hong Seong-hwan, Director of Management Information Team at Hanmi Pharmaceutical, stated, "By drastically reducing manual work through OCR, cost competitiveness has improved, and in the future, it will be applied not only in manufacturing but also in purchasing, sales, and research fields."
