LG CNS, a digital transformation and innovation business based in South Korea, has recently established a foothold in the US through a deal to jointly develop AI-related smart manufacturing technologies with automation company Honeywell.
LG CNS is becoming an official Honeywell AI and IT service partner to focus on so-called AX technologies covering factory automation and intelligence. The company stated it is the first South Korean business to tie-up with the US giant.
The collaboration is set to pair LG CNS’ expertise in AX consulting and service creation with Honeywell’s knowledge of producing sensors and control equipment. The companies intend to develop a multi-sector manufacturing execution system (MES) to manage facilities, processes and personnel in real time.
There are also plans to explore fresh fields in production and logistics based on a programme LG CNS is engaged in with customers in its domestic market. It mentioned an agentic AI set-up which is used to assess factory plans for risks.
LG CNS and Honeywell intend to sell their AX technology globally using the US company’s base of more than 100 large customers. But LG CNS president and CEO Hyun Shin-kyun emphasised the initial focus is on breaking the US market, saying the collaboration “is the first step for both companies to think together and seek technological solutions” for manufacturers in the country.
