What Movic Lab does

Movic Lab (주식회사 모빅랩) is a South Korea-based AI industrial IoT company founded around 2020 and headquartered in Incheon, with an R&D office in Seoul. The company specializes in predictive maintenance and equipment fault diagnosis for industrial and manufacturing clients, using proprietary ultrasonic acoustic signal analysis combined with deep learning algorithms. Its technology stack consists of self-developed ultrasonic sensors paired with an AI Edge Device (Cortex-A72 1.5GHz CPU, 500MHz VideoCore VI GPU, supporting Ethernet/WiFi/Bluetooth/Serial connectivity) that captures acoustic signals up to 1MHz frequency. These signals are processed by the Watch Bat real-time anomaly detection system and the WatchEagle AutoML platform to predict equipment failures, detect production defects, and support industrial vision inspection.

The company's product portfolio extends beyond predictive maintenance into adjacent industrial AI applications, including an Intelligent Fire Surveillance AI Solution (multimodal fire risk prediction), a Document Anomaly Detection AI Solution (OCR plus semantic analysis), and a Video Processing AI Platform supporting Object Detection, Semantic Segmentation, Keypoints Detection, and OCR. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting large Korean manufacturing corporations such as Hyundai and LG, complemented by SME customer acquisition through the government-funded NIPA AI Voucher program, where the company was named an Excellent Supplier in 2022 (one of approximately 30 selected from 1,600 registered suppliers). Revenue is generated through a combination of hardware sales (AI Edge Devices), AI solution subscriptions or deployments (Watch Bat, WatchEagle), and professional services for implementation and customization. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated per enterprise engagement.

The company was founded by researchers from Inha University's Signal Processing Lab and has been recognized through multiple Korean government programs, including TIPS (Tech Incubator Program for Startup) selection in 2021 under Dezion Holdings as operating company, the 2021 Startup Growth Package, the First Penguin Promising Startup designation by Korea Credit Guarantee Fund (providing up to 3 billion KRW in guarantee eligibility), and the 2022 Core Industry Cloud Flagship Project. In December 2023, Movic Lab closed a pre-A funding round of 1.5 billion KRW (approximately $1.1–1.2 million USD) from Mobidic Ventures, Evergreen Investment Partners, and Korea Credit Guarantee Fund, with stated use of proceeds to advance technology for large-corporation supply and global expansion.

Core offering

Movic Lab develops AI-powered industrial IoT solutions that use ultrasonic acoustic signal analysis combined with deep learning to predict equipment failures and enable predictive maintenance for smart factories. Its offering combines proprietary AI Edge Device hardware with ultrasonic sensors as the data collection layer, the Watch Bat real-time anomaly detection monitoring platform, and the WatchEagle AutoML video processing platform. The solutions are deployed at enterprise manufacturers and SMEs to detect equipment faults earlier than vibration-based alternatives, reduce unplanned downtime, and automate quality inspection.

Product overview

MOVIC Lab offers an integrated AI-powered smart factory solution ecosystem centered on ultrasonic signal analysis for predictive maintenance. The product portfolio consists of Hardware (AI Edge Device) with built-in ultrasonic sensors as the core data collection layer, Watch Bat as the real-time anomaly detection monitoring system, and WatchEagle as the MLOps automation platform. These are complemented by specialized AI solutions including the Intelligent Equipment Fault Diagnosis AI Solution for predictive maintenance, Intelligent Fire Surveillance AI Solution for safety monitoring, Document Anomaly Detection AI Solution for compliance checking, and a Video Processing AI Platform for quality inspection. The Hardware collects ultrasonic acoustic signals up to 1MHz which are then analyzed by the AI solutions using deep learning algorithms to detect anomalies, predict equipment failures, and automate industrial processes.
