Established in May 2024, S Innovations is a company that develops AMR operation software used in manufacturing, logistics, and medical sites. The company focused on operation automation as its core business, noting the problem that even after introducing robots, professional personnel are required for tasks such as map creation, error response, and the management of various models.

Its flagship product, 'SynK', is a platform that supports everything from AMR installation and maintenance to integrated operation. It utilizes cyber-physical AI technology that analyzes actual robot movements and site data with AI to automate repetitive setting, inspection, and management tasks. It can be utilized not only when first introducing robots but also when responding to problems occurring during operation or when deploying additional equipment.

During the installation process, the robot explores the site on its own to generate the maps required for movement. This method automates the procedure where workers used to manually collect spatial information and supports site layout by applying standardized settings. Subsequently, during the operation stage, it inspects the status to detect operational abnormalities or position errors and provides guidance on causes and corrective measures. The system handles errors that allow for automatic recovery and also provides position recovery and map update recommendation functions. It also features a smart charging function that manages charging timing and standards based on operational data.

Beyond the installation and maintenance of individual robots, it also supports the integrated management required to operate multiple pieces of equipment together. It allows for the management of AMRs from different manufacturers and models on a single screen and links with existing business systems such as Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), and Hospital Information Systems (HIS). Through this, it helps newly introduced robots be connected to and operated within the site's existing work system.

S Innovations plans to use the secured investment to advance the functions of SynK and expand its reseller network, centered on Korea and Taiwan, to increase customer application cases. Following a demonstration of multi-robot integrated control technology in Taiwan last year, the company achieved local export results this year.


Q. What was the strategy pursued to attract this investment?

The company explained the technical competitiveness and business scalability of SynK based on AMR operation sites and customer application cases. In actual sites, professional personnel are continuously deployed for map creation and error resolution, and there are difficulties in the integrated management of robots from different manufacturers and models. Accordingly, the core competitiveness was emphasized by highlighting that SynK can reduce the complexity of AMR operation and human intervention by automating the installation, maintenance, and integration processes based on cyber-physical AI. Along with this, the company presented the process of verifying technology and business viability at customer sites and the ability to expand the scope of application to various industries through resellers.

 

Q. What is the plan for using the investment?

The investment will be used to advance SynK's products and technology and to secure core talent. The company plans to standardize the AMR construction process, which was previously designed and configured individually for each customer, and strengthen automation functions from installation to maintenance and integrated operation. It also plans to expand application sites by cooperating with domestic and international customers and resellers.

 

Q. What was the motivation for choosing this business area?

The company noted that even as the introduction of autonomous driving robots increases in manufacturing and logistics sites, professional personnel are still required for map creation, error resolution, and the management of various models, and that as the number of operating units increases, the burden of related work, time, and cost also grows. To reduce these problems, the company developed SynK and made robot operation automation its core business.

 

Q. What are the company's short-term goals and final vision?

The short-term goal is to improve the perfection of SynK and secure customer application cases to expand the scope of automation in the introduction, operation, and expansion processes. The company plans to strengthen scalability so that it can be utilized even when manufacturers, models, and industrial environments differ.

Ultimately, the company aims to create an environment where anyone can easily introduce autonomous driving robots and expand the scale of operation while reducing repetitive tasks and the burden of manpower, time, and cost.

 

Q. What words do you want to convey to startups in related fields or those preparing to start a business?

If you look at the sites directly, you can discover unexpected inconveniences and repetitive tasks during the product development process. Listening to and confirming what tasks customers spend time and manpower on is the starting point for understanding the problem. S Innovations is also improving SynK by reflecting the requirements identified at the sites. While technology development is important, the value of a product depends on how accurately it understands and solves the problems experienced by customers.
