Service Overview

GowIT's GoCircle-Based Smart Factory Solution

GowIT's GoCircle-based smart factory solution is a total IT solution for smart factories, combining LG CNS's Factova MES with GowIT's own proprietary solutions across diverse manufacturing environments to deliver custom production process optimization — achieving intelligent, autonomous manufacturing innovation.

Everything can be configured together: GowIT's e-approval (GoWorks), manufacturing operations system (GoMOS), and warehouse management (GoWMS), plus LG CNS's Recipe management system, Factova MES for shop-floor operations, Factova Lync/View/Control for equipment integration, and SPC for quality analysis — every system a manufacturing company needs.
For clients looking to adopt MES, GowIT ensures the successful implementation of a custom system tailored to shop-floor needs, through an objective assessment of the current state and identification of improvement areas.

Who Needs This?

A Manufacturing Innovation Solution That Matters to Your Productivity — Why Companies Consider It

If any of these apply to you, GoCircle is worth considering.

⏱️

Manual Work and Wasted Time

Companies where manual work — entering production results, calculating orders/material requirements, month-end closing — takes excessive time, making automation urgent

🔍

Slow Quality Control and Root-Cause Analysis

Companies where inventory mismatches or defects take too long to trace, needing real-time LOT tracking and SPC-based quality monitoring

🔌

Disconnected Systems and Equipment Control

Companies that need advanced shop-floor operations going beyond a simple system build, including data integration and automatic interlock control

🏛️

Cost Concerns and a Lack of a Proven Partner

SMEs that want strong technology but find the cost prohibitive, and want support from a proven, government-certified excellent supplier

Solution Overview

Introducing the GoCircle Solution

Full visibility across the end-to-end process — sales, purchasing, production, and shipping — is essential for making fast decisions in a dynamic business environment.
The answer lies in a practical, integrated platform that connects the entire manufacturing lifecycle — from planning to shop-floor execution to performance evaluation.
GoCircle is an integrated manufacturing operations solution built on accumulated shop-floor experience, faithfully addressing real-world needs across order-taking, production, and shipping.

GoMOS Features

Manages core operations end-to-end — from order intake to raw material ordering, and from receiving to shipping — using accumulated data for status reports and dashboards.

*Note: GoMOS does not include payroll or accounting modules.

Factova MES Features

An integrated MES solution from LG CNS's 20 years of experience, receiving production plans from GoMOS for real-time tracking and performance aggregation across production/quality/equipment/materials.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

It’s not a standalone MES. LG CNS’s Factova solutions (MES, quality management, equipment control) are organically fused with GowIT’s own solutions (e-approval, warehouse management, and more) into a total platform that covers every IT need, from the shop floor to company-wide management.

Through a strategic partnership, we’ve optimized a proven enterprise-grade solution for SME and mid-sized environments — delivering top-tier technology at a more reasonable cost. Combined with the government’s Smart Factory Support Program, the cost burden can be reduced significantly.

Yes. The entire production process is recorded in real time through LOT tracking, so when a defect occurs, the related material, equipment, or worker can be identified immediately to prevent it from spreading. Dashboard and custom report creation are also supported.

It depends on the scope, but for a typical SME, design and build through go-live usually takes anywhere from 2–3 months to over 6 months. We can help set up a fast-track project timeline aligned with government support program policies.

Yes. Drawing on hands-on experience across projects for multinational aluminum casting companies, core/reactor manufacturers, and more, GowIT builds and delivers custom solutions using MES and the latest IT technologies, tailored precisely to your environment.

No need to worry. For companies with limited IT resources, we provide the full range of IT services — consulting, implementation, and stable ongoing maintenance and operation — so you can keep running the system smoothly after go-live.

Our experienced, well-equipped IT engineers build systems on stable, proven technologies such as C#.NET, ASP.NET, and MS SQL Server, delivering an optimized and secure service.

The Smart Factory Support Program offers benefits tailored to your situation and target level of smart transformation: cost support tailored by level and regional Techno Park (optimized funding through regional programs); comprehensive hardware and new-technology infrastructure support (automation equipment, hardware, AI technology, cloud costs); and hands-on consulting through a DX mentor (from pre-adoption assessment through post-implementation stabilization).

GowIT is a proven partner, selected as a LEVEL 3 ‘Excellent Supplier’ in the Supplier Capability Assessment conducted by the Manufacturing Innovation Promotion Agency and the Korea Productivity Center. Backed by extensive field experience, we provide an End-to-End solution from consulting through post-launch operation.
