Changshin Taps Palantir Foundry and AIP to Link Shoe Development With Factory Floors

Changshin and Palantir Technologies Inc. Announced a partnership on November 4, 2026 to apply Palantir Foundry and AIP across Changshin's footwear development and production operations. Business Wire reported the agreement, which is intended to connect information and workflows from sample planning through factory production.

How Changshin Will Use Foundry and AIP

The collaboration is meant to give teams greater visibility across the end-to-end process, from footwear development and sample planning to factory production. The partnership builds on a recent AgentCamp, where Changshin engineers and Palantir worked together with live Changshin data to demonstrate initial workflows.

The next phase will build on these starting points to connect development decisions with factory planning and execution. By bringing information and feedback together across the process, Changshin teams aim to identify issues earlier, reduce handoff friction, and use production outcomes to inform future decisions.

CI Nam, CEO at Changshin, said: "Decisions made in development define how we operate on the factory floor. We want to connect those decisions with production feedback so our teams can spot issues earlier, coordinate more effectively, and carry what they learn into the next model. This partnership will help us turn our deep manufacturing expertise into distinctive capabilities unique to Changshin, embedding data and AI into the way we work."

Ryan Taylor, CRO and CLO at Palantir Technologies, said: "Behind every shoe Changshin produces is a series of decisions, from development and sample planning to the factory floor. Together, we're deploying Foundry and AIP to transform end-to-end processes, building on Changshin's deep expertise, and keeping Changshin in control of how AI is applied, every step of the way."

Changshin is a global footwear manufacturer headquartered in Busan, South Korea, founded in 1981. It established its first overseas subsidiary in Vietnam in 1994 and later expanded to China and Indonesia, and it employs approximately 80,000 people worldwide. In April 2025, Changshin reached a cumulative production milestone of 1 billion pairs of shoes.
