Through this agreement, Kyungdong Navien plans to concretize ▲ the creation of a smart work environment ▲ increased work efficiency through data integration and cloud migration ▲ AI-based management innovation and smart factory implementation.
First, Kyungdong Navien will establish a smart work environment based on the collaboration tool ‘Microsoft 365’ and the generative AI-based platform ‘Copilot.’ The company recently conducted software utilization training for its employees on Microsoft products and has been applying them across all work areas since mid-month.
Going forward, the two companies will integrate and manage online and offline data using Microsoft’s cloud computing service Azure and promote automation at Kyungdong Navien’s factories. They will also jointly explore cooperation in various fields such as security, big data, and digital twins, which implement physical products and facilities in a virtual world within computers.
Kim Jong-wook, CEO of Kyungdong Navien, said, “Kyungdong Navien will strive to improve work productivity and provide customers with a more comfortable living environment,” adding, “Through active collaboration with Microsoft Korea, we will achieve greater customer satisfaction.”
