Obigo, a mobility and lifestyle AI Transformation (AX) platform company, is moving to expand into new industrial businesses in earnest, using its physical AI solution, Bolt (BOLT).

Obigo said on November 4 that it plans to target the power and energy sectors by leveraging its technological expertise accumulated in automotive software and its global customer references, and to develop physical AI businesses supporting industrial AX into a new growth pillar.


As the importance of related infrastructure, including AI data centers, grows, Obigo plans to create business opportunities by integrating AI into power infrastructure and supporting the intelligent operation and management of facilities.


BOLT is a physical AX solution that supports corporate AX. It is designed to connect equipment and data with AI agents in industrial settings where diverse equipment and systems coexist, without requiring the wholesale replacement of existing facilities, and to support everything from analysis to on-site work execution. In particular, it focuses on enabling AI to run reliably even in existing industrial environments through lightweight software technology.


Early this year, Obigo laid the groundwork for industrial expansion by conducting a power-sector proof of concept (PoC) with global energy company G. Dozens of different types of equipment operate in the substation environments handled by G, making technology that connects disparate systems and data important. Based on the PoC, Obigo is fleshing out cooperation in power-sector design and operations software. It plans to gradually expand the scope of cooperation to include integrated monitoring of substation equipment data, AI-based design verification and fault analysis, and engineering work support.



Obigo CEO Hwang Do-yeon said, "We plan to build a track record in the power and energy sectors based on the software expertise we have demonstrated in the global automotive market, and pursue strategic M&A using the KRW 15 billion in investment funds raised in the first half of this year. Through this, we will strengthen our vertical capabilities in each industry and expand our BOLT-centered AX business into a range of industries."
