UDMTEK CO., LTD: A Pioneer In Machine Language Processing

UDMTEK, one of the most influential companies of 2023, was founded to provide customers with new value in various areas, such as industrial digital twins, manufacturing AI, and smart factories. Since its establishment, the company has achieved several certifications and awards at local, regional, and international levels, including South Korea’s SW Grand Prize and 4IR AI AWARDS. Furthermore, with a management team consisting of experts in AI and engineering, UDMTEK has developed valuable services, including Optra@Black-Box software, which applies to automated machines, processes, and entire factories.

About The Company And Product Portfolio

UDMTEK CO., LTD is a company that provides unified digital twin solutions targeting PLC-controlled automation. Automobiles, second battery assembly, the chemical industry, electronic and display manufacturing, semiconductors, and other PLC-controlled systems are covered. The company is known for its innovative products and technologies and has partnered with various companies worldwide.

UDMTEK has developed valuable services, including Optra@Black-Box software, which applies to automated machines, processes, and factories. It can also reproduce the past control history, identify anomalies, and predict trends or changes in the control process. The software can analyze the actual control operations by re-running and interpreting the unknown black-box control logic and data flow characteristics of the past problem process. The re-run function includes the past video image flows, control program running, control log history, and trajectory of any other vital signals. UDMTEK MLP software can transform hidden black-box control programs’ information into transparent white-box digital data and knowledge. This helps diagnose the cause of non-operation and create an accurate maintenance policy, which could reduce the human resources, time, and cost required to identify the cause of non-operation.

Unlike natural language processing, UDMTEK has developed machine language processing technology, enabling the company to transfer a machine’s hidden black-box data and unexplainable control programs into visible, understandable, explainable, reproducible, and conversational knowledge. In addition, MLP allows for the accurate and complete interpreting and understanding of dynamic message exchange between the control program and the corresponding controlled devices over time.
