Jakarta, INTI - Samsung Electronics plans to transform all of its production facilities, both in South Korea and overseas, into AI-powered factories by 2030 to enhance productivity and product quality.
Implementing Digital Twins and Agentic AI
The company will introduce digital twin-based simulations across the entire manufacturing process, from raw material storage and production to final delivery.
Samsung will also deploy dedicated AI agents for quality control, production, and logistics to strengthen data-driven analysis and verification systems.
The use of AI will be expanded to health, safety, and environmental management to improve workplace safety standards.
Leveraging its AI experience from the mobile business, Samsung will adopt agentic AI introduced through the Samsung Galaxy S26 to support manufacturing innovation.
Agentic AI is a system capable of independently setting and executing plans to achieve specific goals.
Samsung will also gradually introduce humanoid manufacturing robots on production lines to build optimized smart factories.
Targeting Global Leadership in Manufacturing Innovation
Senior company official Lee Young-soo stated that the transformation is part of Samsung’s long-term vision for industrial innovation.
"The future of manufacturing innovation lies not only in automation, but in autonomous production sites where AI understands on-site conditions and independently makes optimal decisions," he said.
"We will become a global leader in AI-powered manufacturing innovation," he added.
Samsung plans to unveil its industrial AI strategy and manufacturing innovation vision at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Spain.
During the Samsung Mobile Business Summit held alongside the congress, the company will also present its governance strategy to strengthen oversight as the adoption of agentic AI expands across various industries.
Conclusion
Samsung Electronics’ plan to fully transition to AI-driven factories by 2030 marks a major step toward next-generation industrial transformation. By integrating digital twins, agentic AI, and humanoid robots into its production ecosystem, the company aims to boost efficiency, quality, and workplace safety. If successfully executed, the strategy could position Samsung at the forefront of global AI-powered manufacturing innovation.
