Lifestyle tech company Coversummon (CEO Jaeho Lee) has established its own smart factory in Seongsu-dong, Seoul, and is working to enhance its production capabilities to respond to the global market.
Coverthermon has been attracting attention for its smart textile technology that utilizes natural elements like air, heat, and light. With growing domestic and international demand for high-functionality products like air tech and heat-generating tech, Coverthermon has established its own production infrastructure to ensure a stable supply of core materials and quality control.
The approximately 447-square-meter smart factory features a customized digital transformation (DX) system that incorporates Coverthermon's airtech expertise into dedicated equipment for precision bonding and cutting processes. Its key feature is its systematic management of process variables, enhancing production precision and minimizing deviations.
The Smart Factory, overseen by CTO Jin Jun-tae, a KAIST graduate, and led by Director Park Young-gyu, a former Samsung Aerospace and Samsung Motors employee, oversaw the process design, has completed an advanced production line. This has reduced lead times by over 30% compared to previous models, enhanced mass productivity, and established a system that can flexibly respond to diverse customer needs.
Additionally, Coversummon has obtained ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) certifications, officially proving that its product design, manufacturing, quality, and environmental management all meet international standards.
The smart factory, currently undergoing mass production, will begin full operation in April. The company plans to expand annual production of air pillows and air jacket kits by up to eight times, establishing a stable supply system and strengthening its global market presence through collaboration with major domestic and international distribution channels.
“Our own smart factory is a production infrastructure for directly implementing and managing core airtech technologies,” said Lee Jae-ho, CEO of Coversummon. “By directly operating the functional material process, we will improve quality and supply stability, and strengthen our competitiveness in the global market.”
