In Progress

Ongoing projects

We are carrying out two government‑funded projects: advancing AI‑powered integrated control, and shipbuilding automation.

AI‑based integrated control and predictive maintenance system for AGV/AMR logistics automation

In progress

The project collects and standardizes operational data from many AGVs and AMRs of different types in real time. It validates a standard solution that minimizes unplanned downtime through AI‑powered integrated control and predictive maintenance.

Quantitative project targets

5+ typesIntegrated collection of operational and sensor data

90%+Data standardization rate

≤5%Monthly unplanned downtime rate

80%+Failure prediction accuracy

10+ unitsEquipment under simultaneous control

Mid‑to‑long‑term roadmap

Year 1

Building the validation foundationAn integrated collection system for operational and sensor data and a standard data model; development and field validation of the AI integrated control platform and anomaly detection and predictive maintenance models

Year 2

Advancing capabilitiesAI‑based dispatching and dynamic route optimization, more accurate predictive maintenance models, upgrades for existing customers

Year 3

Autonomous operation · commercializationEvolving into an AI operating platform with autonomous decision‑making, expanding integration with heterogeneous robots and automation equipment, and growing in Korean and global markets

Insulation panel automation system for Korean membrane cargo tanks

In progress

We are developing and validating equipment that reorients heavy insulation panels in LNG cargo tanks and transports them within and between levels. AMR‑based robots replace manual heavy‑load work, with HD Hyundai Heavy Industries participating as the end‑user company.

Organization

Research organization and infrastructure

From hardware design to control software and on‑site deployment, we validate everything within a single organization.

Corporate R&D Center

Since our R&D Center was founded in 2008, we have developed robot control, autonomous navigation, vision AI and integrated control technologies, and in 2024 we launched a dedicated Physical AI task force.

In‑house test facility

Before delivery to a real site, we verify performance with scenario‑based tests in our own facility. Hardware, control software and operating logic can be refined together, again and again, in one place.
