InspecX

In industrial sites, safety inspections often still rely on people visually inspecting and checking equipment regularly, which can lead to human errors or oversights.

Additionally, new industrial equipment such as electric vehicle batteries contain many ultra-precision components, which exceeds the capabilities of existing manual inspections.

For example, if a cooling valve in an EV battery is blocked, there is a risk of overheating, but this may not be detected in time.

InspecX uses a PABLO AIR HARP (Human Advanced Robotics Platform)-based robot to autonomously patrol factories or warehouses, using its AI camera and sensors to detect signs of equipment abnormalities (leaks, overheating, etc.) in real-time.

In particular, it is equipped with a special inspection algorithm for critical components that are difficult to check with ordinary cameras, such as ultra-small 5-way refrigerant valves for EV thermal management, capturing even minute malfunctions.

This is an industry-first attempt, where AI learns normal/abnormal patterns to catch even small problems that humans might miss.

Upon detecting an anomaly, it immediately sends an alarm to the central system, enabling rapid initial response.

In addition, multiple robots are connected via the HARP network, covering the entire site and accumulating data to implement predictive maintenance (PdM).

Simply put, it is a system that combines the roles of a robot supervisor and an AI precision inspector.

Major customers include large factories, logistics center operators (B2B), especially EV component manufacturers such as secondary battery factories, and industries that require 24-hour equipment management such as semiconductor/chemical plants.

In addition, local governments (B2G) may adopt it for inspecting water and sewage/road facilities as part of smart city infrastructure management.

With a clear ROI in terms of industrial safety and efficiency improvement, demand is expected to increase in the domestic and international smart factory markets.

While PABLO AIR is famous for drone logistics, this product allows it to enter the industrial robot field, which is expected to expand its business portfolio.

In the future, it can be developed into a SaaS platform that accumulates inspection data, expanding into a service business that monitors multiple factories in the cloud based on inspection results.

Although its technology was recognized with the CES Innovation Award, it went relatively unnoticed compared to other flashy consumer products.

Industry officials noted "Pablo's challenge of expanding from drones to robots" and gave positive evaluations, saying it was a timely solution related to EV battery safety.

However, general reviewers also commented that "it is for professional industrial use and does not resonate with CES visitors."

In other words, while the technical completeness is high, its limited market solution resulted in low exhibition buzz.
