AIBIZ (CEO Ha Seung-jae), an AI (artificial intelligence)-based manufacturing process company, announced on the 28th that it has obtained a 'Superior' grade in the Smart Factory Supplier Capability Assessment. The 'Smart Factory Supplier Capability Assessment' is a program hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups and the Smart Manufacturing Innovation Promotion Team. It supports capability assessments in areas such as (1) management, (2) technology and (3) project management for supplier companies wishing to participate in the smart factory dissemination program. AIBIZ explained that it received high scores in the main evaluation items and obtained the 'Superior' grade. AIBIZ provides an 'AI-based anomaly detection and manufacturing process optimization solution' for high-precision manufacturing industries such as (1) semiconductors, (2) secondary batteries and (3) automobiles. Its independently developed 'DutchBoy' is a solution that analyzes vast time-series data generated at manufacturing sites in real time to help improve yield. The company had conducted technology valuations on the two technologies subject to this capability assessment. According to an analysis by RPM Patent Law Firm (a government-accredited technology valuation institution), AIBIZ's 'process diagnosis AI platform' technology was recognized as having a technology value of about 5.5 billion won. The 'anomaly detection method based on laser and ultrasonic welding data' and its 'device and program' were each valued at about 1.4 billion won, AIBIZ said. Ha Seung-jae, CEO of AIBIZ, said, "With this Superior grade, our technology has been recognized as capable of innovating industrial sites," and "through AI-based manufacturing innovation, we will continue sustainable growth in the global market as well."
