[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] LG Uplus is enhancing factory productivity by introducing an 'equipment monitoring solution' that can simultaneously connect control devices (PLC) within factory equipment.

LG Uplus announced on the 14th that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Glassdome Korea, a smart factory manufacturing data platform company.

Founded in 2019 with its base in Silicon Valley, USA, Glassdome Korea develops and distributes equipment monitoring solutions that can connect control devices (PLC) regardless of the manufacturer, tailored to the realities of such factories. This solution is based on 5G·LTE wireless networks and the cloud, minimizing initial investment costs and eliminating the need to halt equipment operation.

Through this MOU, LG Uplus plans to jointly supply its 5G·LTE wireless network and Glassdome Korea's equipment monitoring solution to build digital infrastructure for factories. This solution collects equipment and process data within the factory, providing an optimal management system including real-time monitoring and AI-based data analysis.

Both companies expect this solution to accelerate the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-sized companies. This is because collecting and analyzing data to improve factory efficiency is the first step of a smart factory.

Seo Jae-yong, Executive Director of LG Uplus Smart Factory Business, said, "Glassdome Korea has an outstanding solution that has quickly built a solid customer network since its establishment, which led us to decide on this collaboration," adding, "Together, we will play a role in helping SMEs and mid-sized companies take the first step toward smart factories."

Ham Jin-gi, CEO of Glassdome Korea, stated, "We will overcome the entrenched limitations faced in manufacturing sites with advanced technology and accelerate the easy digital transformation of manufacturing companies together with LG Uplus, which owns a nationwide high-quality dedicated 5G·LTE network."
