About CMES

CMES Inc., founded in 2014 by Sung-ho Lee, is a South Korean company specializing in AI-based 3D vision and robotics software for industrial automation. The company develops intelligent robot automation solutions that give robots the equivalent of eyes and a brain, enabling them to handle complex, non-standardized tasks in manufacturing and logistics. CMES went public and was listed on the KOSDAQ in October 2024.

The core of CMES's technology is its AI software platform, which allows robots to recognize and handle irregularly shaped objects without direct human programming. Their product lineup includes solutions for various industrial applications, such as 'random mixed depalletizing', where robots pick up boxes of different sizes from a pallet, and 'mixed case palletizing', where AI simulates and executes the optimal way to stack items. The company also provides solutions for order picking, assembly, welding guidance, and quality inspection. These systems are designed to be integrated as cell units tailored to specific industrial processes and work environments.

CMES serves a global client base across diverse industries, including logistics, automotive, electronics, and steel manufacturing. Notable clients include Hyundai/Kia Motors, Coupang, and LG Electronics. The company generates revenue by supplying these advanced robotic automation solutions. With its headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, and a subsidiary in the United States, CMES is actively expanding its presence in the North American and Southeast Asian markets. In a recent strategic move, the company announced a collaboration with Robottiz to jointly develop humanoid robot solutions, combining CMES's AI software with Robottiz's hardware.
