This system can predict the characteristics of the tire formula through artificial intelligence (AI) analysis and obtain the optimized combination plan of the material.
It is understood that the technology is based on accumulated data and does not require data to be obtained through actual testing during the tire formulation development process.

The tire formula is very complicated in the development process. The development of a new formula usually takes 6 months to 3 years.
By applying artificial intelligence technology, the research and development cycle can be shortened by more than 50%.
TireWorld.com was informed that at the beginning of this year, Hankook Tire and the Korea Academy of Science and Technology signed a future technology research and development agreement, and the two parties started cooperation on the VCD system project.
At present, the accuracy of this data analysis has been greatly improved, and the reliability is above 95%.
Hankook Tire plans to apply this technology to tire selection, design, testing, and manufacturing.
