CarbonSix CEO Moon Tae-yeon said competition in the physical AI market will shift from model performance to mass-production cases on actual manufacturing floors, meeting at the company's office in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the 16th. He stated that until last year the focus was proof of concept (PoC), but this year is the first year revenue is generated on real mass-production lines, adding, "We will make this year the first year of mass production for physical AI in manufacturing." Moon, a co-founder and former vice president and chief strategy officer of SUALAB, founded CarbonSix last year. The startup develops SigmaKit, a software platform that equips industrial and collaborative robots with AI, focusing on making existing robots perform "unstructured tasks" without developing new robots. A representative case is Taelim Industrial, where SigmaKit was applied to its production line, and CarbonSix is discussing building a demo factory. The company has a little over 20 contracted clients, mostly domestic manufacturing corporations, and is targeting 10 billion won in revenue this year, expanding applications to automobiles, semiconductors, displays, electronics, bio, food, and chemicals. Moon noted global physical AI corporations compete fiercely on model performance, but there still aren't many cases leading to large-scale mass production on real manufacturing floors.
