The IT services arm of South Korea's LG Group said Wednesday that it was the only Korean firm to exhibit at IoT Tech Expo 2026 in San Jose, California, held from Monday to Tuesday, an event that draws about 8,000 industry professionals and roughly 200 global technology and manufacturing companies.
This year's lineup included IBM, SAP and Deloitte as exhibitors, with Nvidia and Schneider Electric featured as conference speakers.
At the booth, LG CNS showcased Factova MES, a modular manufacturing execution system that uses AI to collect and analyze shop-floor data in real time, alongside Factova Control, an equipment integration solution already deployed across more than 100,000 machines at manufacturing sites in Korea and abroad.
The company said the tools cut inefficiencies in production and enable predictive maintenance by flagging anomalies in motor current, temperature and vibration before failures occur.
LG CNS also unveiled AI offerings tailored for high-precision industries such as semiconductors, displays, aerospace and medical devices, along with a Gen AI safety and environment service that lets field workers report incidents through smartphone photos and voice memos for automatic logging and response guidance.
"Backed by smart factory expertise and AX capabilities accumulated at large-scale manufacturing sites, we are accelerating our push into the North American market," said Shin Jae-hoon, head of LG CNS' smart factory division, adding that the company aims to bring AI-driven factory intelligence within reach of small and mid-sized manufacturers.
