Samsung Electronics Announces Strategy To Transition Global Manufacturing Into ' AI-Driven Factories' by 2030

 


Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced its strategy to transition all manufacturing operations into 'AI-Driven Factories' by 2030. This initiative aims to fully integrate AI across the entire manufacturing value chain — from inbound material logistics and production to quality inspection and final shipment — establishing a next-generation autonomous production environment.


As part of the transition, Samsung will implement digital twin-based simulations throughout its manufacturing processes and deploy specialised AI agents dedicated to quality control, production, and logistics. By strengthening data-driven analysis and pre-validation through these agents, the company seeks to elevate quality standards, operational efficiency, and productivity across its global manufacturing network. 


Samsung will also expand AI integration into Environmental, Health, and Safety operations. Through proactive detection and automated hazard prevention systems, the company intends to further enhance workplace safety standards across its production facilities worldwide.


At the center of this transformation is 'Agentic AI' —first introduced on the Galaxy S26 series — which is capable of autonomously planning, executing, and optimising decisions to achieve defined objectives. Building on its advanced AI capabilities developed in the mobile sector, Samsung is extending its expertise into manufacturing to create a robust foundation for on-site autonomy.


Through purpose-built AI agents, Samsung will optimise production workflows, predictive maintenance, repair operations, and logistics coordination — enabling standardised, world-class excellence across every global site.


To accelerate the transition from automation to advanced autonomy, Samsung is progressively introducing humanoid and task-specialised robotics across its production lines, including Operating Robots for line operations and facility management, Logistics Robots for autonomous material handling and transport, and Assembly Robots for precision manufacturing tasks. In infrastructure environments where human access is limited or hazardous, the company will further deploy digital twin-integrated Environmental Safety Robots designed to systematically monitor conditions, identify potential risks, and proactively mitigate on-site hazards.


“The next phase of manufacturing innovation lies in building autonomous environments where AI truly understands operational contexts in real time and independently executes optimal decisions.” said YoungSoo Lee, Executive Vice President and Head of Global Technology Research at Samsung Electronics. “We are committed to leading the transformation toward AI-powered global manufacturing innovation.”


Global Industry Engagement


Samsung will showcase its industrial AI strategy and digital twin-based manufacturing innovation vision at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, demonstrating how industrial AI enhances both safety and efficiency in real-world environments.


Additionally, at the Samsung Mobile Business Summit (SMBS) — which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year — the company will introduce its 'governance strategy for expanding AI autonomy'. This strategy consists of embedding safety mechanisms from the initial design stage, ensuring the responsible and trustworthy expansion of industrial AI for its customers and partners worldwide.


SMBS is a private, invitation-only event for key B2B customers and partners, where Samsung shares its B2B strategy and latest technology direction, while also exploring collaboration opportunities across industrial sectors.

Samsung Brings Galaxy Ecosystem Into Everyday Eyewear

 The smartphone era forced humanity into a persistent downward gaze, tethering personal productivity to glass screens held in the palm. At Galaxy Unpacked in London, Samsung Electronics, alongside Google and Qualcomm, formally signaled the next major structural shift in mobile computing. By introducing its Intelligent Eyewear ecosystem—engineered in direct partnership with global eyewear innovators Gentle Monster and Warby Parker—Samsung is attempting to transition artificial intelligence from a device you consult into an ambient layer that passively interprets the physical world alongside you. The Architectural Blueprint: Android XR and Micro-Hardware Integration While the concept of camera-equipped glasses is not new, Samsung’s approach differentiates itself through deep platform-level integration and optimized silicon efficiency. Operating on the newly minted Android XR platform, the Intelligent Eyewear acts as a display-less, audio-first extension of the Galaxy ecosystem. Under...

100 aircraft, 44 months and 4.4 million man hours: Emirates’ retrofit programme marks major milestone

 Emirates has reached a landmark 100 aircraft refurbished under its retrofit programme, the largest known undertaken by any airline globally. Since work began in November 2022, 47 Airbus A380s and 53 Boeing 777s have been given a complete nose-to-tail refresh at the Emirates Engineering hangars in Dubai. By the end of December 2026, around 20 additional aircraft will be upgraded, moving the airline significantly past the halfway point in its US$ 5 billion investment aimed at delivering a consistently elevated experience to customers. Over a period of 44 months, the Emirates Engineering team has deployed more than 400 engineers and technicians, investing a collective 4.4 million man hours to transform 100 aircraft and deliver a sophisticated upgrade across the cabin interiors of all the aircraft. Every aircraft was also fitted out with a new Premium Economy Cabin during the retrofit. More than 3,800 new Premium Economy seats have been installed in total as part of the initiative, ac...
