LS ELECTRIC uses data to optimize power consumption with Sight Machine and Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing
LS ELECTRIC, in collaboration with Sight Machine and Microsoft, is revolutionizing manufacturing sustainability and productivity through data optimization. By standardizing unstructured data, LS ELECTRIC gleans detailed insights into energy consumption, leading to a 20% reduction in power use on some manufacturing lines and integrating systems for better decision-making. This partnership drives towards a future of sustainable manufacturing, leveraging Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing and Microsoft Copilot to drive efficiency and competitive operation.
LS ELECTRIC has already implemented the new solution in one of their factories and plans to roll it out to multiple facilities. The early results have been impressive: streamlined issue resolution, improved resource optimization, and greater agility in implementing and adapting to new inputs. By monitoring energy usage per production line, Dr. Wook-Dong Cho reports, “LS ELECTRIC has reduced power consumption by about 20% to certain manufacturing lines.”
LS ELECTRIC and Sight Machine Collaborate to Build AI-Based Big Data Analytics Platform for Manufacturing and Energy
LS ELECTRIC announced on September 18 that it has signed an MOU with Sight Machine to build an AI-based intelligent manufacturing and energy big data analysis platform at LS ELECTRIC Cheongju, Chungbuk, Korea. With this MOU, the two companies plan to conduct extensive collaboration in the field of integrated platforms aimed at the ESG market, including verification and analysis of manufacturing-energy big data connectivity using Sight Machine’s Manufacturing Data Platform, prediction of AI-based manufacturing process equipment control values, and construction of big data analysis platforms to help companies achieve smart manufacturing and power efficiency in the production process.
LS Electric, Microsoft to jointly develop smart factory
LS Electric Co., South Korean manufacturer of power and industrial automation equipment, has signed a partnership agreement with Microsoft to develop intelligent and autonomous factory solutions.
Both companies will focus on improving data connectivity in intelligent factories, generating data insights for production facilities, and conducting power efficiency analysis in production lines. LS Electric and MS will also explore the use of Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure Machine Learning services for advanced manufacturing environments and the development of new business models based on smart energy and power data. The collaboration will extend beyond smart factories to encompass digital transformation (DX) businesses.
Last year, LS Electric worked with Microsoft to enhance inspection and noise analysis in the production line of the Cheongju plant, which was recognized as a “lighthouse factory” by the World Economic Forum. The partnership resulted in reduced defect rates and increased productivity through the use of deep learning technology on the Azure platform.
