What DeltaX does

DeltaX Co., Ltd. is a Seoul-headquartered AI and energy storage company founded in September 2020 by CEO Kim Su-hoon, operating two business divisions: DeltaX AI (computer vision solutions for automotive and industrial safety) and DeltaX ESS (battery energy storage systems across utility, commercial-industrial, and rack-scale applications). The AI division delivers proprietary computer vision capabilities including object detection, depth estimation, and semantic understanding, which power products such as the In-Cabin Monitoring System (ICMS), Audio Visual Alert System (AVAS), In-Vehicle Analytics System (IVAS), 360-degree surround view, and aerial surveillance/target identification. The ESS division offers vertically integrated battery systems featuring Cell-to-Pack (CTP) architecture achieving over 70% volumetric utilization, selective immersion cooling for thermal runaway prevention, and a stand-alone parallel module design, managed through proprietary BMS, EMS, and data science layers.

The company generates revenue through a mix of hardware sales (ESS products), recurring subscription-like AI software, and OEM/ODM services for partners including SK On. DeltaX pursues an enterprise field sales motion targeting large anchor customers, with disclosed partnerships including SoftBank for data center ESS (1 GWh annual capacity target by H2 2027), SK On for North American ESS battery modules, and Green Car (Lotte Rental) for car-sharing ADAS. Revenue grew from KRW 1 billion in 2024 to KRW 5 billion in 2025 with a 2026 target of KRW 10 billion or more. Operations span five campuses (Seoul HQ, Goyang, Los Angeles, Shanghai, Hyderabad) with three planned manufacturing plants (Incheon, Savannah, Chennai). The company has 58 patents filed (14 granted), won ICCV 2023 world first-place in instance segmentation, and is in IPO preparation targeting a 2028 listing.

Core offering

DeltaX is an AI company that develops and sells two integrated product lines: (1) AI computer vision software solutions for autonomous driving, in-cabin monitoring, and industrial safety, and (2) vertically integrated battery energy storage systems (BESS) for utility, commercial, industrial, and data center applications. The AI division provides object detection, depth estimation, and semantic understanding algorithms, while the ESS division delivers Utility ESS (5.38 MWh container), C&I ESS (up to 684.7 kWh cabinet), Rack ESS (modular), and JF1 ESS with proprietary Cell-to-Pack architecture and selective immersion fire suppression technology.

Product overview

DeltaX operates two core divisions: DeltaX AI (Total AI Solution) and DeltaX ESS (Energy Storage Systems). The AI division provides computer vision-based solutions including In-Cabin Monitoring System (ICMS), AVAS, IVAS, and 360° Surround View for autonomous vehicles and industrial safety. The ESS division offers three product lines: Utility ESS (utility-scale container-type BESS with CTP architecture and selective immersion cooling), C&I ESS (commercial & industrial all-in-one cabinet BESS), and Rack ESS (modular air-cooled rack-type BESS with scalable architecture). Both divisions share proprietary BMS, EMS, and Data Science capabilities. The company also operates an ODM/OEM service for custom ESS manufacturing.
