The forum which was held on November 29th at Bundang Doosan Tower was attended by some 250 people including key figures from various industrial sectors such as the power, manufacturing, construction, utility and IT sectors, as well as the academic sector, among which were Yongseok Seo, Professor of Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)’s Moon Soul Graduate School of Future Strategy; Sukwon Park, President of Doosan Digital Innovation(DDI) and Yongjin Song, Chief Strategy Officer of Doosan Enerbility.
The forum was kicked off with opening remarks by Doosan Enerbility’s CSO Yongjin Song, followed by a keynote speech delivered by KAIST Professor Yongseok Seo. Professor Seo, who is also serving in the role as KAIST’s Future Strategy Research Center Head, shared his forecasts for future changes expected in businesses, organizations and industries owing to innovative technology advancements, such as AI and robotics.
Several presentations were subsequently given by Doosan Enerbility people touching upon the following themes, along with actual case examples of application – Industrial Solutions Created Through Convergence of AI Technology, Combining AI With Intelligent Control Solutions : Combustion Optimization, Intelligent Non-Destructive Testing Platform and AI Diagnostics for Large Wind Turbines.
An exhibition booth was also set up at the event to showcase various innovative solutions, thereby offering the attendees the chance to get a firsthand view of the solutions that were developed by applying AI technology to robots, machinery and services. AVEVA, one of the patrons of the event, showcased an industrial AI platform, while DDI put on display a generative AI application. Doosan Enerbility showcased its additive welding technology, which combines an AI-powered non-destructive testing system with collaborative robots.
“Through this forum, we were able to demonstrate how Doosan Enerbility’s digital solutions are reflecting the current key trends of the global energy market, such as energy transition, sustainability and carbon neutrality,” said Yongjin Song, Doosan Enerbility’s CSO. “In particular, this was an event where we were able to show the efforts made by our company in applying the latest AI technology to the power and manufacturing sectors and also share examples of innovative applications.”
Doosan Enerbility has been running the “Digital Innovation” organization since 2013, through which various efforts have been made to apply AI-enabled digital technology to the business for commercialization. Recently, the company had signed the “MOU on AI-based Automated Design Optimization Technology Development” with Pohang University of Science and Technology(POSTECH) on November 21st and another “MOU on AI Application to the Non-Destructive Testing Process” with the Korea Energy Agency on November 14th.
