[Digital Innovation Leader] Computer Mate, 20 years of know-how...the strongest AI-based smart factory solution

| Developing and supplying various solutions required by corporate sites for 28 years since founding
| Supports management and productivity improvement with the ‘Mate’ series of manufacturing site optimization solutions
| Strengthening existing customer services this year... Concentrating investment in AI, big data, and metaverse businesses
 
“With over 20 years of know-how and experience, we are taking a leap forward as an ‘Information Technology (IT)-Fast Leader’ that provides advanced smart factory solutions based on artificial intelligence (AI) and big data.”

Computer Mate (CEOs Sang-in Seo and Seong-ho Kim), a Daegu local company in the IT service field, is a company specializing in smart factory solution development and services that helps manufacturing companies achieve sustainable management in the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution.

Over the 28 years since its founding, it has solidified its position by developing and supplying a variety of cutting-edge solutions required by corporate sites. In recognition of its technological prowess and growth potential, it was designated as a Daegu Star Plus company and one of the 100 Star Companies, and is steadily expanding its business not only domestically but also overseas by establishing branches and corporations in Japan and China.

The main product containing Computer Mate's core technology is the 'Mate' series, which is optimized for manufacturing sites. It was packaged with its own original technology. Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Point of Production System (POP), Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP), Supply Chain Management System (SCM), Warehouse Management System (WMS), Quality Management System (QMS), Decision Support System (BI) ), and a variety of manufacturing-based integrated solutions such as elementary, middle, and high school management systems.

POP enables standardized production point management, and MES is a production site management system that can quickly and systematically operate planning and execution information in various situations. ERP integrates and manages all business operations across the company and identifies management status in real time, helping to process business quickly and transparently.

 
We also developed a cloud-type smart factory operation system for the automobile parts industry and an industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) device for measuring temperature, humidity, and counters at manufacturing sites. In addition, we are in the process of upgrading technology by securing MES-based AI solutions that can derive optimal conditions for AI data-based facilities and integrated test management and failure prediction technology for laboratory testers. AI solutions have already been applied and verified at manufacturing sites since last year. AI predicts and diagnoses areas that have been directly monitored by humans based on information automatically collected. Product defects and device failures can be identified in advance and prompt action can be taken.

 
The core competitiveness is, above all, skilled human resources with a high understanding of manufacturing sites and various industries with over 20 years of experience. There are 22 top technicians and 20 people with more than 10 years of service. Through continuous investment in research and development (R&D), the company possesses original technology, including 4 patent registrations and 5 applications, and has secured over 500 references and customers in the manufacturing industry, thereby providing high trust in its technology.

Excellent technology has been proven in the field as well. Last year, we participated in the AI convergence regional specialized industry support project and are building and demonstrating a system that combines MES and AI in Gyeongchang Industry and Pyeonghwa Industry. Gyeongchang Industrial expects this project to achieve an annual 7% productivity improvement and 30% cost reduction. Pyeonghwa Industry, which is building an integrated test management and facility failure prediction system, is also expected to be able to improve test productivity, improve work efficiency, and respond quickly to abnormal situations.
 
Computer Mate plans to increase service satisfaction for existing customers this year, invest heavily in new businesses such as AI, big data, and metabus, while actively engaging in system construction projects targeting overseas customers.

CEO Seo Sang-in said, “We plan to continuously strive to provide more advanced solutions using big data and AI accumulated within the company,” adding, “We will focus on three areas: MES, our existing strength, AI, our new business field, and establishment of an integrated management information system for public institutions.” “We will focus on our field and take a new leap forward as an AI specialist company,” he said.
