Samsung SDS hosted the "Samsung SDS Industry Day" on May 28 at Lotte City Hotel in Daejeon, targeting manufacturing companies in the Chungcheong and Jeolla regions. The event focused on sharing strategies for AI transformation (AX) in the manufacturing sector and showcased innovative case studies.
The Industry Day serves as a customer seminar introducing Samsung SDS's key solutions, service directions, and actual implementation cases across various industries, including public, finance, manufacturing, distribution, and defense.
Since March, Samsung SDS has conducted seminars starting with the public sector, followed by sessions for manufacturing, distribution, services, and finance in April.
Under the theme "AX: Accelerating the Future of the Manufacturing Industry," the seminar attracted over 100 IT professionals from manufacturing companies in the Chungcheong and Jeolla regions. The agenda included strategies for implementing AX in manufacturing and real-world examples of AI-driven business innovations and outcomes.
In his welcoming remarks, Park Chang-hong, Executive Director of Samsung SDS's Manufacturing AM Team, stated, "Companies are now focusing on how to apply AI to their operations to achieve tangible results, moving beyond mere AI adoption. Samsung SDS is actively supporting our clients' successful AX transformations based on our AI full-stack strategy."
Samsung SDS is enhancing its approach to the AX market by leveraging its comprehensive AI full-stack strategy, which encompasses AI infrastructure, platforms, solutions, and consulting, covering all areas from implementation to operation. This strategy aims to support not just technology adoption but also real operational innovations and outcomes.
The subsequent presentation session highlighted several AX innovation cases in the manufacturing sector, including: data platforms for manufacturing AX, the Harim Group's One ERP implementation, AI-driven product lifecycle management (PLM) strategies, operational technology (OT) security strategies against ransomware, applications of 5G networks for physical AI implementation, and the use of generative AI-based collaboration solutions like Britworks.
Samsung SDS noted that the OT security strategy, tailored to the unique characteristics of manufacturing environments where production halts can lead to significant losses, and the application of 5G networks for the dissemination of physical AI within factories garnered considerable interest.
In domestic manufacturing settings, various robots, including automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), are being utilized. The integration of AI allows for the creation of a physical AI environment that can control robots and processes with a single complex command.
Samsung SDS introduced a case study on building a 5G network that supports real-time data transmission between robots and control systems.
Additionally, Samsung SDS presented the One ERP implementation case for the Harim Group, which connects 18 key subsidiaries. The company shared its experience and results in standardizing ERP to enhance operational efficiency, aligning with Harim Group's integrated business structure from raw materials to distribution.
Lee Jeong-heon, Vice President and Head of Strategic Marketing at Samsung SDS, remarked, "This seminar was significant in sharing AX implementation directions and actual innovation cases with manufacturing companies in the Chungcheong and Jeolla regions. Samsung SDS will continue to provide insights to clients across various industries based on our AI full-stack capabilities and industry expertise."
Meanwhile, Samsung SDS is expanding its AX business across various sectors, including manufacturing, finance, and public services, leveraging its AI full-stack capabilities that encompass infrastructure, platforms, solutions, and consulting.
The company's strategic collaborations with global firms allow for the flexible adoption of various AI models, tailored to client operations through consulting and system integration (SI) capabilities. Notably, Samsung SDS is rapidly expanding the application of AI in real operational environments, including customer service and manufacturing sites, through innovations driven by AI agents.
