Korea Innovation Foundation selects 3 Innovative machinery companies, ARA, Korea Intelligence Machine, and Moqous for Global Technology Commercialization Support Program (North America)

The Korea Innovation Foundation (INNOPOLIS) has announced the selection of three innovative machinery companies—ARA, Korea Intelligence Machine, and Moqous—for its 2025 Global Technology Commercialization Support Program targeting the North American market. This initiative is designed to identify and assist companies with pioneering technologies in machinery, energy, AI/IoT, and bio-health sectors. The program offers extensive consulting support aimed at enabling these companies to trial their technologies and products at local facilities or projects managed by overseas enterprises and institutions, facilitating real-world commercialization. ARA specializes in AI-powered smart factory solutions, delivering advanced automation systems that enhance productivity, efficiency, and profitability across various industries including manufacturing, food and beverage, and logistics. With experience in over 1,000 automation projects, ARA integrates artificial intelligence, robotics, and vision systems tailored to specific client needs. Notable innovations include an Unwrapping System that automates the removal of packaging materials from beverage cans, a Smart Factory & Logistics System that enables fully automated manufacturing and logistics workflows, and an AI Cardboard Reuse Sorting System that supports eco-friendly operations by sorting and reusing single-use cardboard boxes. ARA’s proprietary 2D and 3D vision systems combine standard software with client-specific customization to optimize performance, driving the future of intelligent manufacturing globally. Korea Intelligence Machine offers an integrated AI-powered inspection solution focused on ensuring high product quality throughout production lines. Serving major Korean manufacturers such as Hyundai/Kia, POSCO, and Dongkuk Steel, the company’s platform combines AI machine vision (NeuraEye), protocol and electrical inspection (NeuraCheck), operation and motion testing (MotionCheck), and barcode-based product inspection (BarcodeCheck). Equipped with high-resolution cameras and advanced lighting, the AI machine vision system detects even minor defects with speed and precision. Real-time data processing and deep learning algorithms contribute to significant reductions in defect rates and improvements in quality stability. With over 20 years of expertise, Korea Intelligence Machine’s systems are already active in four plants in Georgia, USA, and the company is expanding its global partnerships through the INNOPOLIS program. Moqous is a big data-driven personal mobility company that has initiated a Smart Patrol Mobility Pilot Project in collaboration with the Las Vegas Police Department. As part of the Global Technology Commercialization Program, this project deploys Moqous’s E-POP-CYCLE—an electric patrol vehicle developed entirely with Korean technology—to evaluate its efficiency in police patrol operations. The pilot focuses on assessing the e-cycle’s potential to reduce carbon emissions, enhance patrol efficiency, and enable data-driven law enforcement. Moqous supplies the E-POP-CYCLE units, while the Las Vegas Police Department monitors operational performance and environmental impact. Recognized as a 2025 Global IP Star Company, Moqous holds major certifications including KC, CE, FCC, and RoHS, and recently secured significant investment from Bokwang Investment, underscoring its technological capabilities and market potential. Together, these three companies represent Korea’s forefront of innovation in machinery, AI integration, and sustainable mobility solutions. Through INNOPOLIS’s support program, they gain valuable opportunities to expand their technologies globally, especially within the North American market, while contributing to advancements in smart manufacturing, quality assurance, and eco-friendly transportation.
