"AI technology will be a key element that changes the paradigm of manufacturing. With this technology, we aim to drive innovation across the entire manufacturing industry." Ha Seung-jae, CEO of AIBIZ (pictured), said this after receiving the 'Minister of Science and ICT Commendation' at the '2024 Software Industry Day' ceremony held on the 2nd at the L-Tower in Yangjae, Seoul. He received the ministerial commendation in the individual category in recognition of his contribution to the development of the related domestic industry through developing AI (artificial intelligence)-based manufacturing process diagnosis software. CEO Ha Seung-jae of AIBIZ said, "We developed a technology that improves efficiency across industries by analyzing data generated in semiconductor manufacturing processes in real time to detect anomalies and identify root causes," adding, "Its innovativeness is being recognized in terms of improving the quality of production processes and reducing costs." AIBIZ's flagship platform 'DutchBoy' has been commercialized. It uses deep learning algorithms to detect anomalous data in manufacturing processes in real time and analyze the root causes of problems, and it is particularly prominent in semiconductor and secondary battery processes. The AI technology applied to the platform recently won the Jang Yeong-sil Award. The event, hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and organized by the National IT Industry Promotion Agency and the Korea Software Industry Association, was held to raise the standing of industry professionals and to encourage their contributions. 19 government awards, including orders of merit and medals, and 25 ministerial commendations were presented to those who contributed to revitalizing the software industry in areas such as △policy development △human resources training △export growth. CEO Ha said, "Minister of Science and ICT Yu Sang-im also emphasized the role of software in the AI era in his congratulatory address at this event," adding, "Building on this award, AIBIZ will establish itself as a leader in AI manufacturing solutions in domestic and overseas markets."
