AI NewsWaveKolon Benit Builds Win-Win Manufacturing AX Pilot Models for Three Firms Including Isu Chemical
Key points
- Kolon Benit confirms three participating companies
- Isu Chemical, Seowoo Industry and Seowoo Advanced Materials selected
- Government-backed win-win AX project gets under way
Kolon Benit selected Isu Chemical, Seowoo Industry and Seowoo Advanced Materials as participating companies for the "Win-Win AI Transformation (AX) Pilot Model Support Program" and is moving to carry out the project in earnest. TheElec, TechM, iNews24 and EBN reported that Kolon Benit announced this on Oct. 19.
The project is a government-backed manufacturing AX program. TheElec described it as a government-supported project run by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, the Korea Technology and Information Promotion Agency for SMEs and the Korea Federation of SMEs. Digital Daily, by contrast, wrote that it is a project of the Korea Technology and Information Promotion Agency for SMEs. TechM explained that the project supports company-wide AX transitions at small and midsize firms, building on large companies' manufacturing innovation capabilities.
Digital Daily reported that the three participating companies are small and midsize manufacturers in petrochemicals, auto parts and textile materials. Datanet wrote that, after Kolon Benit was selected as the lead organization in July, the manufacturing sites where AX will be applied have now been confirmed, putting the manufacturing AX project into the execution stage.
The name of the project is written differently by outlet. iNews24 called it the "generative AX pilot model support program" in its headline, but its summary of the same article called it the "Win-Win AI Transformation (AX) Pilot Model Support Program." In its headline, Techworld News said field data and workers' experience will be combined with AI.
