SK C&C Applies Generative AI to Manufacturing Sites

'Equipment Anomaly Diagnosis' Service at Doosan Enerbility

SK Inc. C&C is applying generative artificial intelligence (AI) to manufacturing sites of its clients.

On the 19th, SK Inc. C&C announced that it has begun a pilot application of a generative AI-based anomaly diagnosis service at Doosan Enerbility. This project is part of Doosan Enerbility's digital transformation strategy. Doosan Enerbility is currently fostering gas turbines, hydrogen, offshore wind power, and small modular reactors (SMR) as growth businesses. It is also expanding new businesses such as digital solutions, eco-friendly lithium recovery processes, and innovative material development. Doosan Enerbility plans to enhance energy production and operational efficiency by utilizing digital technologies such as generative AI and cloud computing throughout the entire process of power generation equipment and facility operation.

SK Inc. C&C utilizes a generative AI-based orchestration platform. Through this, it supports the entire process of fault response, from detecting abnormal signs in manufacturing site equipment and facilities, analyzing causes, preparing reports, to sending email reports to responsible personnel. Typically, after a failure occurs, it takes at least several days to weeks to analyze similar cases, identify causes, and find countermeasures, but generative AI technology aims to shorten this time.

Cha Ji-won, head of the G.AI Group at SK Inc. C&C, said, "In manufacturing sites where expensive large-scale equipment and facilities operate like clockwork, fault response is a critical task that requires every second. We will strive to ensure that generative AI becomes a foundational infrastructure for practical digital innovation that enhances the productivity and safety of Korea's manufacturing industry."
