LIOPS

Based in South Korea, LIOPS, operates as a developer of spatial intelligence and robotics solutions that utilize 3D mapping and artificial intelligence to automate operations in shipyards and heavy industrial facilities. Based in Changwon-si, South Korea and founded in 2023, LIOPS develops advanced spatial intelligence solutions for heavy industry. The company raised KRW 4 billion in venture funding in September 2026 from investors Stonebridge Ventures and BonAngels Venture Partners, marking its first funding round. LIOPS specializes in advanced spatial intelligence solutions tailored for heavy industry, offering a comprehensive platform that integrates 3D scanning and automation technology.

Their core product includes a Spatial MES (Manufacturing Execution System), capable of precisely recreating factory environments in 3D. This technology allows for real-time recognition of complex processes, facilitating the effective deployment of robots to perform intricate tasks previously handled by human workers. Target customers include manufacturing plants and industrial facilities in various sectors, such as automotive, electronics, and consumer goods industries across multiple geographical regions, including North America and Europe. LIOPS employs a performance-based revenue model, allowing clients to pay for outcomes rather than making upfront equipment investments.

This transactional approach involves charging clients based on the volume of work completed using their technology. Customers initiate service inquiries, and upon analyzing their current operational setups against the provided layouts, LIOPS generates a pricing structure aligned with the expected output and results. The company's flagship solutions encompass robotic welding services and autonomous logistics, which are crucial for industrial environments seeking to minimize operational disruptions while maximizing efficiency. The company plans to leverage the recent funding to enhance its product offerings and expand its market reach.

Current initiatives include developing new features for its Spatial MES and exploring partnerships to integrate its solutions into more industrial sectors.
