Aekyung Chemical is implementing artificial intelligence (AI) across its operations, research and development, and production sites to drive company-wide innovation.
According to industry sources on September 3, Aekyung Chemical has recently introduced the workplace AI agent platform 'AKeeON' for its employees. AKeeON is designed to search for information, analyze data, and automate certain tasks based on internal documents and work systems.
The company is currently using this platform for repetitive tasks such as information retrieval, data inquiries, and report writing, and plans to develop additional AI agents tailored to specific job functions based on operational needs.
In the research and development sector, Aekyung Chemical is exploring the use of large language models (LLMs) for data analysis, modeling, and simulation. The goal is to utilize AI for predicting polymer reaction trends, viscosity, and verifying reactivity.
The company is also pursuing automation of analytical tasks. It plans to establish a system that incorporates AI software and robotics for a series of processes, including sample reception, preprocessing, analysis, data processing, and report generation.
Aekyung Chemical aims to enhance production efficiency, quality safety, and on-site safety by leveraging AI and data in its production processes.
In the future, the company intends to integrate external commercial LLMs with its internal and external data, utilizing them not only for data retrieval but also for analysis and summarization.
An Aekyung Chemical representative stated, 'With the launch of AKeeON, we are expanding the application of AI across various work areas, including research and development and production. We plan to develop related systems focused on practical tasks that can be utilized in real operations.'
Meanwhile, Aekyung Chemical's TPC plant is set to conduct pilot production by the end of September this year, ahead of full-scale production, while the hard carbon anode material line aims to complete its expansion work this year.
