Operational Optimization and Quality Improvement

through the Establishment of a Metaverse Factory

Impix's autonomous manufacturing platform realizes autonomous control of simulations in a virtual environment through the establishment of a metaverse factory.



1. Pain Point 

Requirement for quality management system introduction in the pharmaceutical industry 

- Validation requirements in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry

- Process Analytical Technology (PAT) 

- Quality by Design (QbD)

2. AI Solution 

Autonomous manufacturing solution based on digital twins

3. Construction Goals

Detailed Goals

- The goal is to build a system that enables AI analysis simulation of actual manufacturing processes at the same level as the production site.

- Utilize augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and extended reality (XR) equipment and metaverse solutions without spatial constraints in the metaverse. 

- Expect operational optimization and quality improvement through virtual simulation on ChongKunDang's own metaverse factory. 

 

4. Construction Details

Virtualization

- Virtualization of factory overview, individual buildings, internal structures, facilities, and equipment (total of 15 clean rooms) Synchronization and Animation

- Animation synchronization according to equipment operating status

Data integration and monitoring 

- Integration and monitoring of CCTV, real-time production status and operating status, changes in key equipment parameters, technical documents such as manuals, and cleanroom environmental information such as temperature, humidity, and differential pressure

Artificial intelligence 

- Technology application: quality prediction and derivation of optimal process values, quality simulation of optimal process models

Equipment bidirectional control

- Monitoring and remote control of each equipment's operating status

AR collaboration system  

- Real-time video sharing, voice and text chat, and AR Glass Device integration for collaboration between workers in the clean room and external/overseas engineers VR cyber tour 

- Experiential cyber tour and promotional content used on the web and VR devices 

5. Construction Effects
