Product Design and Digital Factory Design, Verification & Operations
Improve the efficiency of building and running factories with virtual verification and real-time monitoring.
Reducing trial and error in factory construction and operation
On the shop floor, even a single change to equipment layout or operating conditions requires weighing its combined impact on production capacity, material flow, and capital investment. The more complex the links between equipment and systems, the harder it is to predict plant-wide changes from individual equipment performance or past experience alone. Building and maintaining the simulation models and data needed to review a wide range of conditions is also a growing burden. To reduce bottlenecks found after start-up, repeated rework, and unnecessary investment, you need to verify the impact of each alternative in advance, reflecting the complex conditions of the site, and use the results as the basis for design and operating decisions.
Improve the efficiency of building and running factories with virtual verification and real-time monitoring.
In the Design, Digital Factory Engineering & Operations area, LG CNS provides service offerings that support layout design, virtual verification, and operational monitoring for factories and distribution centers. From new factory construction to changes and operational improvements on existing lines, we configure and integrate solutions that fit each customer's site requirements. Before construction, we verify design proposals and operating scenarios; after start-up, we help you understand site conditions and issues and drive improvements.
What is Factova Worldworks?
Factova Worldworks is LG CNS's own digital twin platform that supports decision-making across the entire factory lifecycle, from design and verification to operation. It links factory operating data with spatial information to help you understand site conditions and analyze problems. By applying customer-specific site characteristics and domain knowledge to digital twin and simulation technology, it predicts outcomes as conditions change and derives optimal design and operating plans.
LG CNS is expanding the scope of use by combining this foundation with learning-based World Models, which excel at spatial understanding, state prediction, and virtual environment generation. Based on site data and industry and process knowledge, we validate the soundness of predictions and help customers compare alternatives and expected impacts before changing the actual site, so they can make decisions that fit their goals and constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We supply and operate digital twin services in customer factories. One customer environment runs across 13 factory sites and supports monitoring of up to approx. 18,000 pieces of equipment.
We define the purpose of use and the target area, review engineering and operating data, and agree on the necessary integrations. We then proceed with the site model, domain rules, deployment architecture, and verification. We draw on prior implementation experience, but the scope and acceptance criteria must be defined separately for each new site.
Factory data is collected through Factova Control. Worldworks receives the collected data through real-time streaming and delivers it to users with a latency of under one second. By connecting the data collection layer with the digital twin, you can check current equipment and operating information.
