Samsung Electro-Mechanics is hosting its first in-house hackathon from October 13 to 16 at its Suwon facility, utilizing its generative AI platform, Semco Work.
Semco Work is a server-based AI platform developed by Samsung Electro-Mechanics, designed to ensure robust internal security and high compatibility with existing company systems.
A company representative stated, "This event was organized to empower employees to develop AI agents that address everyday work challenges, enhancing their practical skills."
To reduce repetitive tasks and create applicable AI solutions, 200 employees formed 100 teams of two to participate.
Participants will focus on identifying time-consuming processes across product development, production, quality control, and customer service, implementing practical solutions based on Semco Work.
External judges, including executives from Samsung affiliates, will evaluate the projects based on AI utilization, problem-solving approaches, and practical applicability. Samsung Electro-Mechanics plans to award a total of 33 million won across gold, silver, bronze, and encouragement prizes.
The agents developed during the hackathon will be made available to all employees for immediate use, with plans to incorporate feedback from the field to enhance their effectiveness.
Jang Deok-hyun, president of Samsung Electro-Mechanics, emphasized, "The AI era is still just at 'January 1.' This hackathon will mark the beginning of 'one person, one AI agent' as employees create agents tailored to their work needs."
