Kolmar Korea has been selected as the only cosmetics company to join South Korea’s AI Factory Alliance. The alliance aims to reinvent the country’s manufacturing sector through artificial intelligence.
The government’s Manufacturing Artificial Intelligence Transformation (MAX) Strategy marks a shift from automated to fully autonomous production. Through the strategy, the government aims to build a new generation of “AI factories” that can operate autonomously using real-time data and machine learning instead of relying solely on human-controlled automation.
Kolmar Korea’s inclusion in this project reflects its technical readiness and the growing role of the beauty sector in Korea’s industrial identity.
The beauty company’s contribution will focus on creating a fully autonomous cosmetics production line that can optimize itself based on data from real-time monitoring. This means AI will be able to identify issues, make independent adjustments, and ensure consistent quality without constant human oversight.
“Being the only cosmetics company selected as a lead participant in the AI Factory project recognizes our technological expertise and innovation capabilities,” a Kolmar Korea representative says.
“Through our AI-based autonomous manufacturing system, we aim to strengthen the global competitiveness of K-beauty and elevate the overall standard of Korea’s cosmetics manufacturing industry.”
