MOTREX Group Makes Strategic Investment in 'Daon I&C'... Combining AI and Drone Technologies

MOTREX Group has made a strategic investment in Daon I&C.

According to MOTREX Group on October 14, the investment is intended not merely as a financial investment or production partnership, but to combine Daon I&C's accumulated core drone technologies and AI-based autonomous and unmanned technologies with MOTREX Group's manufacturing, automotive electronics, infrastructure, and global business capabilities. The goal is to connect Korea's drone industry, which has so far focused on technology development and localization, with stable manufacturing, quality, and operating systems, and to promote its adoption in real-world industrial settings.

Daon I&C has pursued the localization of technologies including swarm flight, flight control units (FC), ground control systems (GCS), and AI-based autonomous flight. The two companies plan to expand their business into an integrated unmanned automation platform that organically combines drones, stations, integrated control systems, and AI. In particular, they plan to link MOTREX EV's expertise in operating electric vehicle charging infrastructure with drone stations, developing them into standard hubs for unmanned infrastructure capable of charging, status management, and remote inspections.

Over the medium to long term, the companies plan to explore business models that encompass not only product supply but also local operations and infrastructure development, linking Daon I&C's overseas partnerships with MOTREX Group's global network on the basis of an unmanned automation platform proven in Korea.

A MOTREX Group official said, "By combining MOTREX Group's accumulated capabilities in manufacturing, quality management, and infrastructure businesses with Daon I&C's drone and AI technologies, we will expand our future mobility business based on Physical AI."
