AI production management and CNC quality prediction
Taejung's supplier reported 36.3% higher hourly output and about a 91% lower process defect rate after the AI smart-factory project
Problem
Taejung struggled to collect and manage data from different manufacturing machines. Its automotive-parts operations also faced machining-quality problems.
Approach
Through a government-supported project, Taejung worked with DM Tech Consulting to integrate equipment data on edge servers. They developed AI models linking CNC operating conditions with quality changes to identify suitable machining settings. The project introduced AI production management and quality prediction.
Results
Takeaway
The reported gains followed a project combining equipment-data integration with predictive models. The figures did not isolate the effect of AI from the other factory changes.
