Ibex to Hold 'Frontier 2026' in November, Share Enterprise AX and Physical AI Strategies

Ibex plans to hold its annual forum, 'AIVEX FRONTIER 2026,' with Maeil Business Newspaper on November 11. The forum will focus on enterprise AI transformation (AX) and physical AI application strategies.

The forum will highlight enterprise AI adoption strategies, operating models, intelligent automation in industrial settings, and next-generation AI research. It aims to cover the full spectrum from enterprise AI adoption strategies and operations to industrial automation and research.

The event will draw about 300 participants. Attendees are expected to include industry professionals from IT and telecommunications, semiconductors and batteries, automotive and defense, machinery and equipment, and logistics.

Presenters in the enterprise AX session will include Palantir Technologies, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Upstage, LG Electronics, and Vesal AI. Speakers from a range of industries and companies will share their respective topics.

Min Se-hun, head of APAC Commercial at Palantir Technologies, will introduce ways to speed up execution and secure results in the enterprise AI transformation process. Kim Ji-hoon, managing partner at BCG, will present the key success factors for AI transformation, while Choi Hoon, head of Upstage's Enterprise division, will present strategies for applying enterprise AI on the ground.

Noh Beom-jun, an executive director at LG Electronics, will speak on intelligent spaces. He will outline how AI is changing products, spaces, and user experiences.

Ahn Jae-man, CEO of Vesal AI, will also speak, focusing on AI infrastructure buildout and operating costs. He will discuss the economics of enterprise AI.

The program will also include presentations in the physical AI and robotics fields. Dennis Hong, professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UCLA and director of the robotics laboratory RoMeLa, will speak on the topic, 'Do Robots Have to Look Like Humans?' He will examine the structural complexity, energy efficiency, stability, and cost of humanoids and present directions for purpose-built robot design. Kim Geon-hee, a professor at Seoul National University, will speak on the topic, 'World Action Models: Toward General Embodied Intelligence,' and will introduce directions for advancing AI's understanding of and ability to act in the real world.

Ibex will then unveil a case study from its own manufacturing site applications. The case study is built around a closed-loop structure that links four platforms — the AI vision inspection platform 'AIVision,' the data platform 'AIVData,' the MLOps platform 'AIVOps,' and the AI robotics platform 'AIVot' — to implement a workflow from data collection to model training, on-site inference, and robot control.

The company said that in manufacturing sites, for AI to move beyond simple recognition and judgment and extend to actual process operations and robot control, factors beyond model accuracy must be considered at the same time. To that end, it stressed the need to address operational requirements such as responding to changes in the site environment, data accumulation, performance management, and operational stability.

Seong Min-su, CEO of Ibex, said he hopes the forum will serve as an opportunity to connect the direction of AI technology development with corporate execution strategies and industrial application experience. He added that he hopes it will be a place to explore ways to turn AI into tangible results at each site.
