Hoon Paek Is Teaching Old Machines New Tricks
The EdgeCross CEO has spent three decades moving intelligence closer to the physical world. His latest wager is practical: the next useful AI interface may be attached to a pump, compressor or aging factory machine.
EdgeCross
EdgeCross (엣지크로스) is a South Korean industrial AIoT company that turns ordinary factory machines into 'smart machines' without ripping out existing equipment. Its MODLINK edge devices bolt onto CNC machines, compressors, robots and other gear to stream live data, while its MachineManager SaaS and LLM-powered MachineGPT let operators monitor, self-diagnose and literally chat with their machinery in plain language. Founded in 2015 as VITCON and rebranded EdgeCross in 2022, the company says more than 8,000 machines now run its devices, generating roughly 3.2GB of operational data per day.
