Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about robotics services in South Korea

How fast can robots be deployed in Korean semiconductor fabs?

We specialize in cleanroom-rated AMRs and wafer-handling cobots. For Samsung and SK Hynix tier fabs, typical deployment is 3–6 weeks including cleanroom qualification, SECS/GEM integration, and KIRIA certification paperwork.

What cobot options are available for Korean SME manufacturers?

We offer Doosan Robotics M-series, Rainbow Robotics RB-series, and Universal Robots e-Series — all KIRIA-certified. Lease plans start from ₩2,500,000/month with Korean-language training and 24/7 support.

Do you support integration with Korean industrial protocols?

Yes. Our engineers support EtherCAT (widely used in Korean automation), SECS/GEM for semiconductor equipment, and PLC integration with LS Electric and Hyundai Electric controllers.

What government subsidies are available for robot adoption in Korea?

MOTIE's Smart Factory Program subsidizes up to 50% of robot integration costs for SMEs. KIRIA administers robot rental voucher programs. We handle grant applications as part of our deployment service.

Can you provide robots for Korean shipyard welding applications?

Yes. We supply heavy-duty welding robots and positioners rated for shipyard environments — salt air, large weldments, and 24/7 multi-shift operation. Integration with HD Hyundai and Hanwha Ocean production systems supported.
