en.Wedoany.com Reported - South Korean cable manufacturer Taihan Cable (represented by CEO Song Jong-min) recently announced its participation in the "Industrial AI Agent Technology Development (R&D) for Solving On-Site Industrial Problems" project, jointly promoted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT), and has been selected as a joint research and development institution for the project.
This project is part of the Korean government's Manufacturing AI Transformation (M.AX) strategy, with the core goal of developing specialized AI agent technologies that can effectively solve on-site industrial problems and implementing them in manufacturing processes to enhance industrial competitiveness. The entire project runs from this year through December 2028.
Taihan Cable will form a consortium with smart factory solution specialists and other companies to jointly advance this project. The consortium plans to leverage extensive process operation experience and production data accumulated in extra-high voltage cable manufacturing sites to drive AI-based production innovation, and to deploy and verify relevant technologies on actual production lines.
By introducing AI technology, the company can analyze production and quality data in real time, improving process operation efficiency. Additionally, by predicting and optimizing various key variables in the manufacturing process, it is expected to increase output while ensuring quality stability, thereby continuously enhancing overall production competitiveness.
Taihan Cable has recently been focusing on core power infrastructure areas such as extra-high voltage cables, submarine cables, and high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission to strengthen production capabilities and technological competitive advantages. Participation in this government project will help the company accelerate the establishment of an AI-driven production system, further improve production efficiency and quality competitiveness, and prepare for future grid market demands. The company also stated that this will help solidify its capability foundation for participating in national core grid projects such as South Korea's "West Coast Energy Highway."
A company official noted that being selected as a research institution for this national policy project has laid the foundation for introducing AI technology into cable manufacturing processes, enhancing productivity and quality competitiveness. The company plans to continue expanding AI applications in manufacturing, consolidate its technological competitiveness in core power infrastructure areas such as submarine cables and HVDC, and continuously strengthen its capabilities to provide stable support for major national grid projects.
