Crowdworks has set up its first "Physical AI Hub" office in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province.
The base is intended to identify AI demand from manufacturing companies and take part in local Physical AI projects.
The company plans to pursue projects for Gyeongnam's key industries, build AI data from process data and skilled workers' know-how, and expand its bases to Ulsan and Jeonbuk.
Crowdworks announced on the 10th that it has set up its first "Physical AI Hub" office inside the Gyeongnam Artificial Intelligence Innovation Headquarters at the Gyeongnam Technopark in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, as it seeks to expand its AX business in a manufacturing-centered region.
Crowdworks said it chose Changwon because Gyeongnam is a region densely populated with manufacturing infrastructure centered on the Changwon National Industrial Complex. The purpose of the base is to identify AI demand from manufacturing companies and take part in local Physical AI projects.
Crowdworks plans to connect the business needs of local companies with government and local government projects. It also plans to expand its industry-academia-research cooperation network.
The company said it aims to identify AI adoption demand at manufacturing sites and uncover Physical AI demonstration projects through the regional base, in line with the expected full-scale launch of the "Manufacturing AI and Robotics Valley" from next year.
Crowdworks is centering its business on converting data accumulated in manufacturing sites into a form that can be used for AI, and plans to launch projects targeting Gyeongnam's key industries from next year. The target industries are shipbuilding, defense, machinery, and aerospace, and the projects involve building process data and AI data based on the know-how of skilled workers.
Crowdworks is also expanding its Physical AI data business. In the first half of this year, it pushed ahead with the development of a "Physical AI Data Platform" and the establishment of a "Physical AI Data Lab," and in June it participated in the government's project to develop a "Physical AI World Foundation Model."
The company has established its first base in Changwon and plans to expand to other manufacturing-dense regions starting from there. It plans to build additional Physical AI hubs in Ulsan and Jeonbuk, and to expand its Physical AI data business nationwide by cooperating with manufacturing companies in each region.
Kim Kwang-il, CEO of Crowdworks, said the starting point for successful manufacturing AX lies in building Physical AI technologies and data pipelines that connect with robots and equipment. He also said he intends to strengthen close cooperation with local industrial companies through the Gyeongnam Physical AI Hub and support AX across the local manufacturing ecosystem.
