LG CNS Targets North American Manufacturing AX Market... Showcases Smart Factory Solutions Locally

Attending "IoT Tech Expo 2026"

Showcasing Smart Factory Solution "Factova"

LG CNS is targeting the North American manufacturing AI transformation (AX) market with its artificial intelligence (AI)-based smart factory solutions.

LG CNS announced on May 19 that it exhibited the core solutions of its smart factory integrated brand "Factova" at the "IoT Tech Expo 2026" held on May 18 and 19 (local time) in San Jose, California, USA.

This exhibition is an IoT and AI convergence technology event that annually attracts approximately 200 global IT and manufacturing companies and about 8,000 industry professionals. LG CNS was the only Korean company to participate.

Factova, introduced by LG CNS, is a solution that optimizes production operations and makes factories more intelligent by applying technologies such as AI, big data, and IoT throughout the entire manufacturing process. It incorporates over 20 years of accumulated technological expertise from manufacturing sites in Korea and abroad, including LG affiliates. LG CNS supports the implementation of Factova for small and medium-sized manufacturers as well.

The representative solution is "Factova MES," a manufacturing execution solution that manages the entire manufacturing flow in an integrated manner. This solution allows AI to analyze manufacturing site data in real time, reducing inefficiencies in the production process and optimizing factory operations. Its functions are modularized by process type for each industry sector, allowing companies to begin with core functions and expand capabilities step by step.

The company also showcased "Factova Control," which integrates and manages production equipment data. Factova Control is a solution that enables real-time integrated control of production equipment data from different manufacturers. It can easily integrate with upper-level factory operation systems such as Factova MES. Based on AI, it can detect equipment abnormalities and predict failures.

LG CNS also introduced solutions for industries requiring ultra-precision process management, such as semiconductors, displays, aerospace, and medical devices. By utilizing solutions for equipment abnormality detection (FDC), process quality control (SPC), and out-of-control action plans (OCAP), companies can predict process defects in advance and improve production yield through process optimization.

The company also demonstrated the "Gen AI Safety Environment" service. When field workers take accident photos and leave voice memos via a smartphone app, generative AI analyzes this information and automatically registers the accident details in the system.

There have already been tangible results for Korean manufacturers that have adopted Factova. At one battery plant, the proportion of passing products exceeded 90% within just one month of implementation, and defective product return costs were reduced by about 70%. At another electronics manufacturing facility, on-site work productivity improved by about 20%, and more than 90% of process data is now collected automatically.

Shin Jaehoon, Executive Director and Head of Smart Factory Division at LG CNS, said, "We are stepping up our efforts to capture the North American market, leveraging our experience in building and operating smart factories at large-scale manufacturing sites and our AX technological capabilities," adding, "Through LG CNS's diverse smart factory solutions, we will support small and medium-sized manufacturers in achieving AI-based factory intelligence."
