– Introduce domestic manufacturing artificial intelligence (AI) technology to the world at the 2022 Hannover Industrial Expo –

□ Demonstrated manufacturing process simulation (simulation) in the virtual space through the 'Manufacturing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Metaverse Factory' of the domestic SME and university alliance

Ministry of SMEs and Startups (Minister Young Lee, hereinafter MSS) held 'Collaboration with MSS' at Hannover Messe, Germany, which will be held for 5 days from May 30 (Mon) to June 6 (Thu) (local time). A domestic small and medium-sized enterprise and university alliance' announced that it participated as a manufacturing-specialized virtual factory (hereinafter referred to as 'Metabus Factory').

The Hannover Messe is the world's largest trade fair related to industrial technology, held since 1947. This year's theme, 'Industrial Transformation', was attended by 75 companies from 6,500 countries around the world.

The 1919 Hannover Messe, which was held in person for the first time in three years due to COVID-3, was a great success with people coming together to check out the latest digital technologies and trends.

The alliance that participated in the expo was composed of domestic small and medium-sized enterprises (Digifore, ABH, KEMP), UNIST, and Hanyang University, centered on the KAIST manufacturing artificial intelligence (AI) big data center.
Alliance's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are suppliers and introducers that participated in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions (solutions) through MSS's 'artificial intelligence (AI) consulting (consulting) and demonstration projects'. bus), provided funds for demonstration of artificial intelligence (AI) solutions (solutions) that can be the basis for applying the technology, datasets, and computing resources.

Based on this, alliance companies and universities have built an intelligent extended virtual world (metaverse) system.

In the virtual environment of the 'Manufacturing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Metaverse Factory', various operations linked with the field are possible.

Many people interested in 'Metaverse Factory' participated in the Hannover Industrial Expo experience hall, and the experience hall was configured so that participants wearing augmented reality equipment could visit a virtual plating factory.

In the expanded virtual world (Metaverse), it was possible to directly operate the plating process connected to the Korean site, and to experience the optimization process of plating tank operation according to the manufacturing artificial intelligence (AI) analysis result.

Through this, we will demonstrate access to the 'Metaverse Factory' using augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and extended reality (XR) equipment and extended virtual world (Metaverse) solutions (solutions) in each country without spatial restrictions. could,

In the manufacturing field, the possibility of operational optimization and quality improvement using the virtual simulation (simulation) tool of the extended virtual world (Metaverse) was confirmed.

Manufacturing AI Metaverse Factory Overview

ㅇ (Definition) A virtual smart factory that combines manufacturing AI and metaverse

ㅇ (Features) Combination system of 4th industrial revolution representative technology based on CPND* value chain

* Contents (manufacturing domain), Platform (virtual platform), Network (5G network), Device (virtual/enhanced equipment)

– Experience the process at the same level as the on-site factory and perform real manufacturing AI analysis simulation

<Concept of Manufacturing AI Metaverse Factory>

ㅇ Contents of exhibition at Hannover Industrial Fair

– After applying manufacturing AI to the manufacturing site to reduce the defect rate of the surface treatment (plating) process, when an abnormality detection signal is generated, a 'skilled worker' in Metaverse controls the real-time plating process to prevent additional defects from occurring

– Build the same test model as the manufacturing site to accumulate manufacturing data and build and apply AI algorithms to respond to abnormalities in the metaverse

– With the manufacturing AI metaverse system intelligent by manufacturing AI, complex device control can be clearly controlled in a virtual environment due to the characteristics of the manufacturing process
