What Daliworks does
Daliworks (달리웍스) is a Seoul-based AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) platform company founded in March 2013 by Lee Sunho, a former SK Telecom engineer. The company develops and operates Thingplus (씽플러스), a cloud-based AIoT SaaS platform that enables data generation, collection, integration, analysis, and utilization across diverse IoT devices, supported by embedded middleware, gateway software, and a web/mobile portal. Thingplus is offered globally through AWS and Azure infrastructure and supports white-label customization for service partners through Dashboard Organizer, Widget Composer, and Rule Editor tooling.
Daliworks generates revenue primarily through SaaS subscriptions to the Thingplus platform, vertical-specific add-on modules (PRIME for equipment operations monitoring, EnergyQ for factory energy management, SignalVax for AI-based motor diagnostics), project-based services delivered through Korean government smart factory voucher programs, and per-device royalties from hardware partners such as Libelium. Pricing starts at tens of thousands of KRW per month for SME customers, scaling up to enterprise deployments. The company pursues a hybrid go-to-market combining direct enterprise sales (especially into Korean manufacturing), channel partnerships with system integrators and hardware vendors globally, and event-driven demand generation through trade shows in Korea, Japan, Europe, and Brazil.
The company serves over 100 customers across manufacturing (steel, oil refining), industrial HVAC and energy management, cold storage and logistics, smart cities (Barcelona, Seoul), smart retail (CU convenience stores), agriculture, and education. Geographic reach spans Korea, Japan, China, France, Spain, Brazil, and North Africa, with active market expansion efforts targeting Japan and Southeast Asia as of 2024. Daliworks holds the distinction of being the first Korean IoT platform to obtain AWS Partner Network Technology Partner qualification and the first to receive TTA GS (Good Software) certification, and is one of only five Qualcomm IoT partners globally.
