Before you buy,honest answers.

No — either way works. We run projects that keep your existing ERP · MES as they are, connected through an ontology layer, and projects that replace the existing ERP with VEXPLOR while keeping only some systems running in parallel. Which one fits you is a call we make in the diagnosis, after looking at your data structure.REFINTEGRATION · REPLACEMENT — REAL CASES ON THE CUSTOMER CASES PAGE

It depends on scope. In real cases it was 6–13 months for an MES · PLM build, about 9 months for a manufacturing-AI project, and 24 months for an Autonomous Factory project. Your own timeline is presented in the diagnosis once scope is fixed.REFREAL DURATIONS — MES · PLM 6–13MO · MANUFACTURING-AI ~9MO · AUTONOMOUS FACTORY 24MO — PER-PROJECT DETAIL ON THE CASES PAGE

That is the exact question we built VEXPLOR to answer. Every answer is checked against ontology evidence, so ungrounded responses are blocked, and control authority is handed over only as far as the AAF framework (L0 read-only to L4 emergency response) has verified. Any command that would violate a physical constraint is stopped by a SHACL rule before it executes. Autonomous control only opens after a Shadow Mode period — where the system judges but does not act — has validated it.REFONTOLOGY CHECK (311+ RELATIONS) · AAF GATE (L0~L4) · SHACL PRE-EXECUTION BLOCK · SHADOW MODE VALIDATION · AI→PLC LIVE PROVEN [VERIFIED]

You start at question-and-answer (L1). AI maturity has four levels — L1 manual Q&A, L2 proactive intervention, L3 autonomous judgment and action, L4 an AI OS running the factory — and you climb them step by step, with the L1–L3 foundation built automatically from day one. There is no need to contract for all of it at once.REFAI MATURITY — L1 MANUAL Q&A → L2 PROACTIVE INTERVENTION → L3 AUTONOMOUS JUDGMENT & ACTION → L4 AI OS FACTORY OPERATION · DAY 1: L1~L3 FOUNDATION BUILT AUTOMATICALLY

We have built for companies ranging from small manufacturers to mid-sized electronics and parts firms. You pick what you need from 20 industry solutions and start there, and a SaaS-based MES/FEMS that lowers the initial burden for smaller plants is in field validation.REFPICK-AND-DEPLOY FROM 20 SOLUTIONS · SAAS MES/FEMS IN VALIDATION — LOWERS INITIAL BURDEN FOR SMALLER PLANTS

Because every plant differs in machine count, data and scope, a list price would actually be less honest. Instead we publish the three axes a quote is built on (data scale · number of use cases · build depth) and the durations of real projects, and in the diagnosis we give you a quote with its calculation basis.REF3-AXIS — DATA SCALE · INTEGRATION SCOPE / NUMBER OF AI USE CASES / BUILD · INTEGRATION DEPTH · QUOTE WITH CALCULATION BASIS

Yes. We have delivered under eight types of the national Smart Factory program (20+ builds) and are delivering the Ministry of SMEs and Startups Autonomous Factory build program at two sites (selected in 2025 and 2026). We can design it together from the project-planning stage onward.REF8 PROGRAM TYPES DELIVERED — AUTONOMOUS FACTORY · MANUFACTURING-AI SPECIALIZED · WIN-WIN (SAMSUNG) · STANDARD · EXPERT · INTER-MINISTRY · LOCAL GOVERNMENT · SMART AS

Honestly — we are a young startup. But we already run profitably, and our source code is held in a three-party escrow at the Korea Copyright Commission, so you can keep using the system even in the worst case. We hold 1 registered patent and 2 pending, a corporate R&D center and ISO 9001 certification — and above all, 20+ sites are actually running.REFSOURCE-CODE ESCROW, THREE-PARTY — KOREA COPYRIGHT COMMISSION · PATENTS REG 1 + PENDING 2 · CORPORATE R&D CENTER · ISO 9001 · PROFITABLE

We design and apply role- and rank-based access governance together during the diagnosis. Who can reach sensitive information such as drawings, costs and quality is controlled centrally.REFROLE- AND RANK-BASED ACCESS GOVERNANCE — DRAWINGS · COST · QUALITY SENSITIVE INFO UNDER CENTRAL CONTROL

No — and we don't promise that. The dark factory is the direction we are heading, and today's autonomy happens step by step, within a verified boundary. "A factory that keeps running even as headcount shrinks" is the accurate way to put it.REFPHASED AUTONOMY — SHADOW MODE → HUMAN-IN-THE-LOOP → BOUNDED AUTONOMY (AAF L0~L4)

Three cases. (1) You want a fully unmanned factory immediately — we only promise phased autonomy. (2) You want office automation with no manufacturing — our expertise is in manufacturing. (3) You're looking for a hardware vendor for robots or equipment — hardware is supplied by proven partners, and we take on integration and operation.REFHARDWARE — SUPPLIED BY PROVEN PARTNERS · VEXPLOR IS THE INTEGRATION · OPERATION LAYER

Yes. We offer group training for your teams and one-on-one facilitation as parallel options. After the build, the Operation phase supports settling into daily use and updating the AI models.REFGROUP TRAINING · 1:1 FACILITATION OPTION · OPERATION PHASE — ADOPTION · AI MODEL UPDATES
