Taihan Selected for Government R&D Project to Accelerate AI-Driven Cable Manufacturing Innovation
- Chosen for the ‘Industrial AI Agent Technology Development’ project, initiating full-scale AI implementation
- Integrates AI into extra-high voltage (EHV) cable production to enhance productivity and quality competitiveness
- Expands capabilities for the future power grid market by establishing an AI-based production system
Taihan is accelerating manufacturing innovation by integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its extra-high voltage (EHV) cable production processes.
The company announced on June 29 that it has been finalized as a joint R&D institution for the "Industrial AI Agent Technology Development" project, a national initiative driven by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE) and the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT).
This project is an R&D assignment promoted as part of the government’s Manufacturing AI Transformation (M.AX) strategy. It aims to develop industry-specific AI agent technologies capable of resolving real-world industrial challenges and deploy them to manufacturing sites to enhance industrial competitiveness. The project duration spans from this year through December 2028.
taihan is participating in the project as part of a consortium formed with smart factory solution specialists. Leveraging its extensive process operation expertise and production data accumulated from EHV cable manufacturing sites, the taihan consortium will drive AI-based production innovation and validate the application of these technologies in actual production lines.
Through this initiative, taihan plans to analyze production and quality data in real time to improve process operational efficiency. By predicting and optimizing key variables in the manufacturing process, the company aims to simultaneously enhance productivity and quality stability, thereby continuously strengthening overall manufacturing competitiveness.
Recently, taihan has been bolstering its production capacity and technological competitiveness, focusing on core power infrastructure sectors such as EHV cables, submarine cables, and High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems. Through this project, taihan intends to accelerate the establishment of an AI-based production system, enhance operational efficiency and quality competitiveness, and further strengthen its capabilities to address the future power grid market. Based on these advancements, the company will solidify its foundation to support critical national power grid projects, including the government-led "West Coast Energy Highway."
An official from taihan stated, "Being selected for this national R&D project provides a solid foundation for us to integrate AI technology into cable manufacturing processes, further elevating our productivity and quality competitiveness. We will continue to expand AI-driven production innovations to enhance our competitiveness in core power infrastructure sectors, such as submarine cables and HVDC, and continuously advance our capabilities to reliably support major national power grid initiatives."
