Step 3 Equipment predictive maintenance data report automation

Problem

Semiconductor and shipbuilding parts subcontractors with annual revenue of 5B-50B KRW (~$3.75M-$37.5M) must collect and analyze equipment data to submit predictive maintenance reports to meet Enterprise smart factory requirements, but lack dedicated staff—spending 40-60 hours monthly on manual Excel work. Report formats differ by each prime contractor, requiring constant reformatting, with 2-3 omission/error-related delivery penalty incidents per quarter.

Solution

A SaaS that collects PLC/sensor data via CSV or OPC-UA, auto-maps it to prime contractor-specific report templates, and sends alerts on anomalies. Core features: (1) auto-generation of prime contractor-specific report templates, (2) equipment anomaly pattern detection dashboard, (3) delivery schedule-linked alerts.

Target: Semiconductor/shipbuilding Tier 2-3 subcontractors (10-50 employees), production management staff

Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription 290,000 KRW (~$217)/month per equipment line (up to 10 units), 15% discount for Annual Subscription. Additional equipment lines at 50,000 KRW (~$37.50)/month each.
