STAFF AI is a chatbot made by Woojung Software Co., Ltd. (우정소프트웨어) in Cheonan, South Korea. It connects to a manufacturer's MES or ERP database and answers questions about stock, production, orders, delivery and receivables in KakaoTalk and other messengers, in plain Korean.

Do we have to replace our MES?

No. The existing MES or ERP stays as it is. STAFF AI only adds a database connection, and does not change existing screens or data by default.

What if we have no system at all?

If your industry is covered, you can start with an industry-specific MES subscription with no installation: 190,000 won a month for the Field plan or 290,000 won for Field + Office, plus a one-time setup fee of 500,000 won (VAT excluded, unlimited users). Screens for box and corrugated board makers are available now; screens for other industries are in preparation.

How much does connecting to an existing system cost?

Connecting STAFF AI to an MES or ERP you already use is quoted by company size and connection scope, and consultation is free. The query feature you need most can be tried free of charge first. A full rollout takes about 4 to 6 weeks.

How is data protected?

Queries are read-only by default and risky statements are blocked. Entries are shown as a summary and run only after a person confirms. Connection details are stored encrypted, and each customer's data and connection are kept separate.

Ask your MES and ERP through KakaoTalk

STAFF AI connects to the MES or ERP a manufacturer already uses. Staff ask in plain Korean in KakaoTalk, the messenger used across Korea, and get stock, orders, production and delivery figures from their own database in a few seconds. There is no new program to install and no need to log in to the MES.

Factories without a system can start from an industry-specific MES offered as a monthly subscription, with STAFF AI built in.

Connection: Direct database connection or API. The existing MES, ERP or POP program is not modified.
Messengers: KakaoTalk (default), NAVER WORKS, Telegram, SMS and e-mail (one-way)
