CJ CheilJedang participates in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's AI Factory project... Driving innovation in food manufacturing

CJ CheilJedang [097950] announced on the 11th that it will participate in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's 'AI Factory Support Project' to develop autonomous manufacturing technology based on physical artificial intelligence (AI).

CJ CheilJedang plans to develop autonomous control of food and beverage (F&B) manufacturing processes and predictive maintenance technology for food and beverage (F&B) manufacturing processes together with One Predict, Ibex, and Korea Institute of Industrial Technology using PINN technology, which combines and analyzes physical laws and process data.

First, data collected from manufacturing facilities is connected and analyzed in real time to establish a data foundation to be used for AI learning. Based on this, we develop technology to predict optimal operating conditions for each process and autonomously control production facilities.

We are also developing quality control technology that uses machine vision, robots, and edge AI to detect foreign substances, damage, and packaging defects in real time.

AI technology is also applied to worker safety management. We plan to develop technology that detects workers falling or entering dangerous areas using AI closed-circuit (CC) TV, and automatically slows down or stops production facilities when a dangerous situation occurs.

Through this project, CJ CheilJedang plans to build a manufacturing system in which AI recognizes and predicts the production process, quality, and facility status and even performs actual facility control.

An official from CJ CheilJedang said, “We will increase our competitiveness in productivity, quality, and safety by securing physical AI technology optimized for F&B manufacturing sites.”

Meanwhile, CJ CheilJedang has introduced new products such as 'Matcha Hetbahn' and 'Bibigo Salmon Steak' using 'Food AI 360', an AI platform that supports trend analysis, marketing, and product planning and development.
