Automation Control
Factova Control
A Software Defined Automation platform that collects equipment data, controls equipment, and puts data to use
WHY
Why Is It Needed?
01
"The equipment in our factory differs by manufacturer, so it's hard to collect data."
Factova Control
Complete connectivity by standardizing every equipment language
02
"How do we connect 20-year-old machines with the latest equipment?"
Factova Control
Real-time data collection from legacy equipment to the latest robots
03
"We want to know equipment status in real time, but we have to walk around and check each one."
Factova Control
Check the status of all equipment in real time, even remotely

WHERE
Where Is It Used?
Target Industries
Manufacturing that needs to collect diverse equipment data and respond to and manage product quality and equipment anomalies quickly
Fields such as pharma and medical where regulatory compliance and traceability are critical
Target Customers
Companies with high risk of equipment failure and process interruption that need data in advance
Companies where equipment data is not collected, or only partially collected
KEY CAPABILITIES
Four Key Functions of Factova Control
01
Standardized Communication for Heterogeneous Equipment
Integrates diverse PLC, robot, and industrial protocols into a standard structure
Automatically maps data tags and signals into a common format
Ensures full compatibility between equipment of different brands and generations
02
Real-Time Data Collection and Processing
Ultra-low-latency collection and preprocessing of data from PLCs, robots, sensors, and more
Performs noise filtering, outlier removal, data compression, and cleansing
Transmits data in the form required by upper-level systems (Hub, Twin, AI)
03
Application Development and Mashup UI
Low-code program development
Monitoring screens and operating UI configuration
Rapid PoC and service implementation
04
AI-Integrated Extensible Framework
Built-in machine-learning-based lightweight training and inference
Training, storage, and inference performed internally without an external ML server
Real-time anomaly prediction using stored models

WHY LG CNS
Why LG CNS
01
Unifies runtime data from multi-brand heterogeneous equipment into a single interface
Collects and standardizes data from multi-vendor heterogeneous equipment that exists but is hard to access.
02
Lower cost and lead time for equipment retrofits
Its plug-and-play architecture makes adding equipment easy, with shorter integration lead times than other solutions.
03
Seamless integration with upper-level systems
Data standardization and modeling make it easy to connect with upper-level systems (MES, SCADA, IoT platforms).
