You will be able to see "AI that can be implemented" and "AI that can be used on the shop floor" in the manufacturing industry, along with concrete use cases.
We will also be offering free consultations regarding AI utilization for manufacturing clients (advance reservations available).
Furthermore, our CEO, Andre S. Yoon, will visit from our South Korean headquarters to deliver a special lecture titled "The Era of Specialized Intelligence: Strategies for the Physical AI Era."
