[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] SK Hynix announced on the 13th that it was selected as the Korean winner in 3 out of 10 categories at the ‘IDC Digital Transformation (DX) Awards 2020.’

The IDC DX Awards is an event hosted by IDC (International Data Corporation), an IT market analysis and consulting firm. This year, companies that led digital innovation to secure business continuity and prepare for the new normal era amid the COVID-19 crisis were selected as winners.

SK Hynix became the first company in the semiconductor industry to win the top prize in the Digital Transformation category of the IDC DX Awards. In addition, it was selected as a winner in two other categories: Talent Management and Operating Model Master.

SK Hynix is pursuing a strategy to disruptively innovate work productivity by securing a DT platform suitable for semiconductor manufacturing under the vision of ‘Digital Transformation for Employee Happiness.’ Furthermore, it is building a decision-making model that utilizes vast information from manufacturing equipment by leveraging big data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

SK Hynix received recognition in the Talent Management category of the IDC DX Awards by establishing ‘CUBE,’ a real-time interactive collaboration platform that realizes innovation in collaboration systems. CUBE is a platform that maximizes the efficiency of information distribution by securing an ecosystem connected through an Open Application Programming Interface (Open API). Through CUBE, PCs, mobile devices, and various other devices are connected, enabling communication and collaboration regardless of time and place. CUBE actively incorporates the latest IT technologies such as natural language processing, chatbots, big data, electronic document management systems, and search engines by applying various open-source and container technologies. It is also regarded as a successful pioneering case in IT technology by applying microservice architecture (MSA) and cloud technologies.

SK Hynix’s manufacturing-oriented cloud construction project also won in the Operating Model Master category. There is a demand for an environment that can immediately monitor semiconductor process status and handle production automation tasks. In response, SK Hynix is building a manufacturing-oriented cloud to implement advanced technologies and a flexible infrastructure environment necessary for semiconductor manufacturing plants (Fabs).
