Chungbuk-to to invest KRW 140 bn to support digital transformation of manufacturing companies
On March 30, Chungbuk-do announced that it has established the 'Industrial Digital Transformation Promotion Plan' for the first time this year to accelerate the digital transformation of manufacturing companies in the province. The plan will invest KRW 140 billion in 51 detailed projects.
The province noted that many manufacturing companies have accumulated data through the establishment of smart factory systems, but are facing challenges in utilizing this data. Therefore, it plans to focus investments on projects that directly introduce artificial intelligence (AI) to core equipment and processes.
The goal is to achieve a 20% increase in annual manufacturing productivity, a 40% reduction in product defect rates, and a 30% improvement in production line efficiency.
Key projects include applying for the 'Chungbuk Manufacturing AI Center' competition, aiming to introduce AI technologies utilizing manufacturing data at industrial sites for the first time outside the Seoul metropolitan area.
Additionally, through the 'Robot Flagship Regional Hub Construction Project,' the province plans to create a testbed for specialized robots connected to the local manufacturing industry.
The 'AI Autonomous Manufacturing Leading Project,' which had only one project last year, will be expanded to four projects this year.
This project aims to create a future production environment capable of autonomous production and control by integrating AI-based robots and equipment throughout the entire manufacturing process.
The province will also launch a customized AI solution support program for businesses to reduce the barriers to AI technology adoption in manufacturing companies.
