In the world of precision component manufacturing - think of the tiny parts inside modern cellphones, automotive car displays and other smart devices - being able to replicate the same part hundreds of thousands of times with perfect accuracy and zero defects has been a moonshot goal. Like many electronic component makers, LG Innotek, a South Korea-based global leader in materials and component manufacturing, aims to reach that goal with the help of innovative technology.
In LG Innotek's factory in Gumi, Korea, it will do that with an orchestra of Intel technologies: Intel Core processors, Intel Xeon processors and Intel Arc built-in graphics processing units (GPUs). It's all brought together with the OpenVINO software tool kit. While LG Innotek has long used both rule-based inspection and deep learning-based systems at specific terminals on its production lines to ensure higher product quality, LG aims to build a fully automated system without any performance degradations through the broad use of AI across every stage of the manufacturing process.
