31 www.smart-molding.com machinery so l ut i on f unc t i on that a l l ows customers to flexibly implement smart injections in factories. This solution can assist customers to quickly adapt to the changes brought by Fourth Industrial Revolution and Digital Transformation. It has stages such as the primary stage of data collection, data analysis stage where the collected data gathered meaning, and big data processing technology and AI stage that applies the intelligent data from this process. LS Mtron’s CSI4.0 is categorized and operating as smart production, smart machines, artificial intelligence (AI), and smart services. Sma r t P r odu c t i on i n c l ud e s features such as smart monitoring through mobile access that allows management anytime and anywhere, real-time process monitoring and control through smart production control, smart mold recognition that allows for the immediate check, and application of production information via the mold's QR code with smart peripheral facility control. This control includes all peripheral devices through the injection machine controller and smart data interface to meet customers' data needs. Smart Weight Control and Smart Remote Service are provided to customers with the goal of a smart machine and smart service, and automatically adjust process conditions to correct the weight of the molded product. The machine uses software to detect the weight change of themolded product, providing the advantage of reducing offline service time. Lastly, the AI injection system synthesizes artificial intelligence t e c hno l og y i n t o t he p ro c e s s optimization of the injection machine, and is the first-ever application of AI technology to injection molding technology. It is composed of AI Wight Control, which detects changes in the weight of the molded product through a weight meter linked to the injection machine, and AI Molding Assistant, which is an AI conditions derivation system that effectively reduces the time it takes to stabilize the initial process through adjusting the process conditions by learning and emulating highly skilled molding experts. LS Mtron Creates a New Chapter in Transforming Injection Molding Machines LS Mtron's injection molding machine was first introduced in 1969 by the machinery division of GoldStar (currently LG Group) and has been expanding its areas of reach both domestically and internationally through consistent technological advancements and innovations in quality over the past 50 years. Growing alongside major Korean customers during the period of rapid growth known as the Miracle on the Han River, LS Mtron's customers have now become global standards on their own. The core technology development of LSMtron’s injectionmoldingmachine has benchmarked the needs of these customers for half a century. LS Mtron's injection molding machine has set the standard for the industry in Korea by launching a two-platen injection machine, starting with the development of the first direct-pressure injection molding machine in the country, and by developing the first electric injection molding machine in Korea. Add i t i ona l l y, L S Mt ron ha s developed special machines that suit rapidly diversifying manufacturing environments (such as IBM, IML, CPM, Two-color, etc.) such as high- specification, high-speed injection molding machines the ONE* and ONE*-E series, to continuously innovate its product offerings. In line with the digital and industrial 4.0 era, the company has been pioneering a new field of transformation in injection molding machines by developing smart injection machines and smart molding solutions. L S Mt ron ' s cont i nuous and pioneering transformation was showcased at KOPLAS 2023, held at KINTEX Exhibition in Goyang City in March. Visitors had the opportunity to visit and see LS Mtron's diverse and high-quality products, including ‘the ONE*-E’ series. LS Mtron www.lsinjection.com
