Factory Standardization and Quality Improvement
In the OLED business, securing high quality is a decisive factor that directly impacts business performance. The core foundation of this quality enhancement lies in factory standardization. In Company B’s OLED factory standardization project, aim Systems’s standardized systems and processes were applied across manufacturing, process, system, and quality departments. This established a unified consensus and communication framework, significantly strengthening the company’s manufacturing foundation and its quality competitiveness. Based on its accumulated expertise from various standardization projects, aim Systems combines its clients’ existing standards with best practices from other companies to create superior benchmarks. It then improves operational processes to enable faster decision-making and structured quality assurance.

Benefits of One-Stop Software Supply
When all services are provided by a single vendor, system integration timelines are shortened, and collaboration during the implementation phase becomes much more stable. Through multiple projects with aim Systems during the OLED plant construction, Company B naturally carried the accumulated experience and expertise into subsequent projects. This led to the formation of a close communication system among project stakeholders, fostering a collaborative culture that transcends organizational boundaries in pursuit of shared success. Such accumulation of experience strengthens continuity between past and future projects and maximizes the effectiveness and satisfaction of the One-Stop solution approach.

Specialized in Equipment Efficiency and Productivity Improvement
Improving equipment efficiency and productivity—common goals across all manufacturers—requires not only the automation of individual equipment but also a deep understanding of on-site operations and close cooperation with equipment manufacturers. Since a factory standardization project covers all upstream and downstream equipment, collaboration with a variety of process and automation equipment vendors is essential for each project. Repeated efforts toward productivity improvement and the accumulation of measurable results contribute not only to technical achievements but also to the professional growth of every team member involved. As a result, the collaboration between teams with a shared “DNA of success” enhances the completeness and overall quality of the project.
