"Bringing AI to Display Processes"... KDIA, KOSA Build Alliance for Manufacturing Innovation

Lowering barriers to AI adoption for materials, parts, and equipment companies
Agreement signed to cooperate in five areas
Technology matching, specialized workforce development, and ecosystem building

The Korea Display Industry Association (KDIA) and the Korea Artificial Intelligence Software Industry Association (KOSA) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to promote the adoption of artificial intelligence transformation (AX) on display manufacturing floors.

The two organizations held a signing ceremony on November 3 at the Korea Display Industry Association building in Seoul. The agreement aims to enhance productivity and manufacturing competitiveness in Korea's display industry by combining AI and software technologies.

The associations are focusing on lowering barriers to AI adoption for small and medium-sized materials, parts, and equipment companies. Last month, the two organizations co-hosted "AX Connect Day: Display and Manufacturing." Discussions at the event highlighted the need for practical cooperation between display manufacturers and AI companies.

Under the agreement, the organizations will pursue cooperation in five priority areas. They will promote technology matching and networking between AI and software companies and display companies. They will jointly develop specialized AI and software professionals for the display industry. They will support the advancement of technologies that combine display and AI. They will regularly hold joint seminars and conferences. They also plan to establish a system for sharing the latest domestic and international industry trends and information.

"Manufacturing AX is an important means of boosting productivity and manufacturing competitiveness in the display industry. Small and medium-sized materials, parts, and equipment companies also need to strengthen their competitiveness by adopting AX in ways that suit their circumstances and needs," said Lee Seung-woo, vice chairman of the Korea Display Industry Association. "We will use this agreement as an opportunity to expand cooperation between AI and software companies and display companies."

"To promote manufacturing AX in the display industry, AI and software technologies suited to the characteristics of each process must be supported by professionals who can apply them," said Seo Seong-il, vice chairman of KOSA. "Through this agreement, we will work together on technology matching based on on-site needs and workforce development, and support our AI and software member companies in turning their technologies into manufacturing innovation and new business opportunities."

The two organizations plan to define specific initiatives for each area of cooperation and gradually roll out a range of activities to promote manufacturing AX, with a focus on practical needs at production sites.
