Samsung Accelerates Innovation with 100 Trillion Won Investment in Digital Twins

Samsung Electronics will invest over 100 trillion won in research and development (R&D) this year, the largest amount in its history. This investment will focus on utilizing a virtual world (digital twin) that perfectly replicates the real world to operate actual factories more efficiently and secure competitiveness in future robot technology.

This large-scale R&D investment is Samsung's strategy to secure a decisive technological lead, pioneer the latest technological trends, and strengthen its future competitiveness.

Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix are building virtual factories. Kia's Gwangmyeong EVO plant has reduced the time to identify anomalies from 120 minutes to 10 minutes with the adoption of digital twins. Samsung Research announced the AI 'Shallow-Phi' for robot control, boosting its processing speed from 8Hz to 17.2Hz.
