Ontology-based AI digital twin specialist company E8 announced on August 4 that it has been officially registered as a supplier for the Smart Manufacturing Innovation Promotion Group's 'Smart Factory Project Management System'.
E8 has been registered as a supplier on the 'Smart Factory Project Management System (smart-factory.kr)', officially recognizing its AI technology and smart factory implementation capabilities. Through this, E8 has secured the qualification to form consortia and directly participate with small and medium-sized manufacturing companies seeking to join government-supported smart factory projects. The company plans to actively operate as a practical AI-based smart factory advancement partner.
Based on its ontology-driven digital twin platform NDX PRO and high-performance simulation software NFLOW, E8 plans to provide AI smart factory solutions that enable real-time data collection, analysis, and prediction on manufacturing sites. In particular, the company will visualize and optimize production processes, energy flows, and equipment operation statuses within factories using simulation-based methods. This is a significant advantage, as it can help client companies strengthen their manufacturing competitiveness.
Along with its registration on the 'Smart Factory Project Management System', E8 is also set to participate as a supplier in the '2025 Autonomous Factory (AI Track) Implementation Support Project' announced by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. The company is publicly recruiting small and medium-sized manufacturing companies to join this project. This initiative supports companies that already operate smart factories in advancing their processes by introducing AI. Selected companies can receive up to 200 million KRW (up to 50% of the total project cost) in government support. Applications are open until August 14 through the Smart Factory Project Management System (smart-factory.kr).
As a supplier, E8 will support participating companies in consortia by assisting with business plan preparation, technical evaluation readiness, and designing simulation-based AI adoption strategies. In particular, E8 plans to contribute to achieving tangible results by providing customized AI-based digital twin strategies tailored to goals such as process optimization, predictive maintenance, and productivity improvement.
An E8 representative stated, "With this registration as a supplier, we are now able to fully participate in public support-based manufacturing AI projects," and added, "We will drive real change on the manufacturing floor with smart factory advancement solutions that combine AI and digital twin technologies."
