COMPUTERMATE Signs Major Contract for Smart Factory System Construction at Nike's Production Base

Smart factory leading company COMPUTERMATE (CEOs Seo Sang-in and Kim Sung-ho) recently signed a contract with Pratama Abadi Industri, a footwear OEM manufacturer for the global sports brand Nike located in Indonesia, to build an integrated smart factory system.

Pratama is a strategic production base with a complex multi-process system. Through this contract, COMPUTERMATE will build an integrated management system combining Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Manufacturing Execution System (MES) across production, quality, warehousing and logistics, and materials at Pratama. The contract is valued at USD 3.3 million, marking the largest project secured through a direct export model.

COMPUTERMATE and the Indonesian Pratama TF team recently held a kick-off meeting for the ERP & MES implementation and took a commemorative photo.

This export contract is the result of COMPUTERMATE’s Process Innovation (PI) consulting project for Pratama, which has been carried out since last year. In particular, it is evaluated as a rare case where a domestically developed MES solution is directly exported to and applied at an overseas manufacturing site.

COMPUTERMATE specializes in production processes based on rubber materials. With customized MES design reflecting the properties of rubber materials, the company can precisely manage compound recipes, process history, and quality abnormalities. It possesses technological capabilities to effectively manage the high variability and repetitiveness characteristic of the rubber industry.

COMPUTERMATE signed a smart factory system construction contract with Pratama, a Nike footwear OEM manufacturer.

Recently, by participating in AI-related support projects promoted by Daegu Metropolitan City, COMPUTERMATE has accumulated AI-based manufacturing technologies. Through this, it has gained capabilities in real-time defect prediction, quality analysis, and process automation.In this project as well, an AI module will be integrated, enabling data-driven decision-making and proactive quality risk management. The project will be carried out step-by-step starting this year.

COMPUTERMATE will lead the entire process from system design and development to testing, training, and stabilization. A total of 12 expert personnel will be deployed, and an optimized, customized system will be built based on the field data secured during previous consulting.

Based on its track record of supplying smart factory solutions to various industries such as semiconductors, automobiles, electronics, and textiles, COMPUTERMATE plans to accelerate its entry into the Southeast Asian market. In particular, entering the supply chain of a global brand like Nike is seen as a success that proves both technological reliability and market potential, and the company plans to speed up its global expansion.

A company representative said,“We aim to become a partner that realizes manufacturing innovation for our clients, beyond simply supplying systems. We will lead the digital transformation of the global manufacturing industry based on our AI-integrated smart factory model.”
