POSCO ICT is drawing attention by actively promoting smart factory projects to mid-sized companies.

POSCO ICT has been establishing a smart factory for plating plants operated by TCC Steel since July. TCC Steel is a company that produces steel sheets plated with tin, nickel, and chrome using cold-rolled coils. TCC Steel have established a master plan to build a smart factory with POSCO ICT, and based on these results, the company is pursuing a smart logistics management project by May next year.

Through this project, the company plans to establish a yard management system that automatically monitors and manages the location of cold-rolled coils received as materials and directs crane work to transport them. In addition, it plans to establish a smart vehicle management system through automatic recognition of vehicle license plates and information management of up and down cars. Through this project, the company expects to reduce logistics processing time and efficient inventory management by implementing smartization in the logistics field.

In addition, Dongjin Semichem's smart factory project, which produces core semiconductor material, is also being implemented. This project is being carried out as part of the "K-Smart Lighthouse Factory Project" supported by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. The main goal is to establish a collection, storage, and analysis platform for the use of data generated in the manufacturing process, and to push for smartization that applies robots to the production process. Prior to this project, POSCO ICT completed the first project of a smart factory in 2020 and is building real-time production process optimization based on an analysis model to upgrade the system.

POSCO ICT is also actively promoting master plan consulting that draws a sketch for the establishment of a smart factory. Recently, diagnostics and roadmaps for improving ERP and MES systems have been performed for Daechang Group, a copper alloy/steel manufacturing company.

A company official said, "There have been active cases of strengthening manufacturing competitiveness through digital transformation(DX) that apply AI, Big Data, and Digital Twin to production sites. In this situation, POSCO ICT is actively promoting smart factories to realize DX of mid-sized companies to upgrade the competitiveness of domestic manufacturing."
