- MX Robotics Inc. is a South Korea-based industrial automation and robotics company that designs, engineers, manufactures, and integrates smart factory and intelligent logistics automation systems. Founded in 1972 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company delivers comprehensive end-to-end automated material handling solutions, intralogistics infrastructure, and industrial software across diverse sectors, including semiconductors, rechargeable secondary batteries, automotive, flat panel displays, pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, food and beverage, and e-commerce distribution. The company operates through integrated business divisions providing turnkey engineering, system integration, proprietary hardware manufacturing, field installation, commissioning, and post-implementation maintenance services across domestic and international markets.
The company's core product and service portfolio encompasses: Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), including unit-load stacker cranes, mini-load stacker cranes, heavy-duty storage cranes, cold-storage automated warehouse cranes, and high-density shuttle racking systems; Autonomous and Mobile Robotics, comprising automated guided vehicles (AGVs), autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated fork lifters, and sub-transfer carrier robots for high-cleanliness environments; Conveyance and Transport Systems, consisting of overhead hoist transport (OHT) systems, rail-guided vehicles (RGVs), cross-belt sorters, sliding shoe sorters, high-speed roller conveyors, belt conveyors, chain conveyors, and vertical reciprocating lifters; Robotic Palletizing and Material Handling Equipment, including gantry robots, articulated robotic loading systems, automatic depalletizers, and carton handling machinery; and Smart Factory and Logistics Software Platforms, featuring proprietary Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Warehouse Control Systems (WCS), Material Control Systems (MCS), and AI-driven predictive maintenance and supervisory control architectures.
In recent developments, the company underwent significant corporate restructuring and strategic realignment. In April 2026, the company officially rebranded from SMCore Inc. to MX Robotics Inc. to reflect its strategic transformation from a traditional factory automation supplier into a specialized robotics and physical artificial intelligence solutions provider. This followed a major ownership transition in 2025, when SK Inc. divested its controlling management stake to industrial automation specialist M2I Corporation. Under its new ownership structure, MX Robotics has accelerated its expansion into semiconductor front-end and back-end manufacturing automation, heavily investing in the commercialization of cleanroom-grade autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and next-generation Overhead Hoist Transport (OHT) systems for wafer and advanced packaging facilities, while continuing to expand its automation footprint across Asia, North America, and Europe.
