AX Investment Boom Across Semiconductors, Auto, and Biotech Powers INTERX's H1 Order Surge Ahead of IPO
INTERX, an AI transformation (AX) autonomous manufacturing solutions provider currently preparing for a tech-specialty IPO on the KOSDAQ market, announced on June 30 that its order volume for the first half of this year has more than doubled year-on-year, signaling full-scale growth momentum. Market analysts view INTERX as an emerging primary beneficiary of a broader corporate trend, as multi-sector investments in AX autonomous manufacturing ripple across industries including semiconductors, automotive, biotechnology, and food processing.
Global manufacturing floors are aggressively adopting AX autonomous manufacturing--where AI perceives, evaluates, and controls operations with minimal human intervention--to address structural bottlenecks such as a shrinking workforce, stagnant productivity, and supply chain volatility. Beyond simple industrial automation, factories are transitioning toward true autonomy, in which software interprets field data, makes real-time decisions, and executes workflows to unlock new value. This paradigm shift has triggered a sharp rise in capital expenditure across sectors such as semiconductors, automotive, and electronics, while government initiatives backing AI integration in heavy industry further accelerate private-sector investments.
The surge in orders for INTERX this year is driven by its highly adaptable, cross-industry AX technological capabilities. Rather than keeping its innovations confined to lab environments, INTERX has demonstrated its engineering prowess directly on the shop floor. At SIMTOS 2026, South Korea's largest manufacturing technology exhibition, the company hosted what it described as the world's first live demonstration of a “fully autonomous machine.” The system successfully managed the entire pipeline--from raw material feeding and machining to final quality inspection--via self-governing AI, illustrating that the leap “from automation to autonomy” is already production-ready.
At the core of this competitive edge is the company's integrated technical framework rooted in Enterprise AI Transformation (EAX). INTERX has built an actionable on-site AI platform by weaving together manufacturing data standardization, industry-specific generative AI, AI agents, digital twins, physical AI, and autonomous manufacturing operational technology (OT). The company has continuously refined its digital twin and physical AI architectures through strategic R&D partnerships with global heavyweights such as Germany's Fraunhofer IWU and NVIDIA. In addition, its ability to architect an autonomous ecosystem aligned with international standards, such as Asset Administration Shell (AAS), serves as a foundation for international expansion into manufacturing hubs including the United States, Germany, and Japan.
The incoming backlog spans a diverse client base, including semiconductors, automotive, displays, precision machining, and biotech. This commercial expansion is reinforced by the company's close alignment with state-backed core research blueprints, such as industrial AI agents, providing strong tailwinds for sustained growth.
To support its expanding pipeline, the company is rapidly scaling its human capital, accelerating the recruitment of top-tier talent in AI, data engineering, consulting, solution development, and global business. Currently, over 60% of its workforce is dedicated to R&D. On the financial side, INTERX has also solidified its upcoming public listing roadmap by converting its preferred shares into common stock, effectively removing a substantial portion of preferred stock-related liabilities from its capital structure.
“The manufacturing AX market is not merely a race to deploy standalone AI models; it will be continuously dominated by firms that can capture field data, reason through it, and seamlessly link it to physical execution,” said Park Jung-youn, CEO of INTERX. “With industry-wide investments in autonomous manufacturing scaling up, this is the definitive inflection point where our growth curve shifts gears. We will continue to fundamentally elevate our clients' core operational metrics and build the future value of the manufacturing industry through field-proven autonomous technologies.”
