The "2nd Korea-Indonesia Smart Factory Seminar," held on the 18th, was attended by about 80 officials from both governments, universities, and businesses. Building on the first seminar held in June, the second seminar expanded the discussion to include smart factory operation and advancement, focusing on manufacturing data management and the use of artificial intelligence.
