LAS VEGAS and SEOUL, South Korea, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- XR spatial computing platform company DEEP.FINE will participate in CES (Consumer Electronics Show) 2026, to be held in Las Vegas, USA, from January 6 to 9, 2026. Through the exhibition, the company plans to introduce its competitiveness in AI- and XR-based platforms for industrial operations to the global market, centered on its flagship solution, DEEP.FINE Spatial Crafter (DSC).
DEEP.FINE has advanced its AI capabilities based on the view that inefficiencies in industrial environments stem from fragmentation across information, workflows, and data. DSC is an XR-based spatial intelligence solution that enables enterprises to build 3D digital representations of real-world spaces using mobile devices alone, without the need for expensive equipment.
The generated spatial data is combined with AI and XR technologies to support real-time collaboration, work standardization, and space-based decision-making. The solution is currently applied across industries including retail, logistics, construction, manufacturing, tourism, and the public sector, with confirmed results in logistics such as a 44% increase in picking speed and a 30% reduction in workforce input.
DEEP.FINE's booth(LVCC North Hall, Booth 9674) is designed to allow visitors to see how spatial data and AI are applied in real-world industrial environments. Through XR technologies, the booth presents a cohesive flow demonstrating how retail and logistics operations can be intelligently enhanced. Visitors can also observe how AR-based remote instructions are used on-site, supported by digital twins generated through spatial scanning and customer movement analysis.
In logistics operations, visitors can experience key processes such as picking automation and guided movement paths through AR-based navigation, along with product curation features aimed at improving customer experience. The demonstration focuses on intuitively showing how operational efficiency can be enhanced through the integration of spatial data, AI analytics, and XR interfaces.
Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) is another representative area where DEEP.FINE's AI-based operational framework can be applied. Core technologies such as blueprint and manual interpretation, site recognition, and work procedure management can be utilized across maintenance-focused industries beyond logistics.
Hyun-bae Kim, CEO of DEEP.FINE, said, "Through CES, we plan to present how XR and AI technologies can be applied to on-site workflows across industries including retail, logistics, construction, and manufacturing." He added, "Spatial data will become a key asset influencing enterprise operational efficiency and competitiveness," noting that "DEEP.FINE will continue to expand global collaboration by connecting space-based data to tangible business value through DSC."

DEEP.FINE to Showcase AI and XR-Based Industrial Operations Platform at CES 2026
NINGBO, China, Dec. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Smooth Motor, a global supplier with 30 years of experience in professional motion solutions, has been selected to join the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) project. It is a multinational initiative to build one of the world's most advanced observatories.
Smooth Motor is providing high-precision stepper motors solutions for the telescope's massive optical array. The motors operate the mirror adjustment systems, executing the tiny but crucial directional movements required for perfect alignment.
Engineered for exceptional accuracy in positioning and enduring performance across an anticipated 100-year service life, these solutions highlight Smooth Motor's strengths in precision craftsmanship and resilience against harsh conditions—qualities that are in growing demand from OEMs and automation specialists around the globe.
Durable Precision for Extreme Conditions
The TMT's mirror system faces constant exposure to temperature shifts, humidity, and vibration. To stay aligned, it requires microscopic adjustments. The stepper motors operate beneath the mirror panels, executing these precise angular movements to maintain optical focus for decades. Meeting such stringent conditions demonstrates Smooth Motor's engineering maturity—where precision mechanics, material science, and modular control converge to achieve sustainable motion performance.
The Thirty Meter Telescope's Warping Harness Actuator, which incorporates Smooth Motor's linear stepper actuator design, has been formally documented in the SPIE conference proceedings (Warping Harness Actuator for the Thirty Meter Telescope Primary Mirror Segments, Proc. SPIE 11451, 2020).
The study describes Smooth Motor's collaboration in developing corrosion-resistant, long-life linear actuators that passed extensive environmental and life-cycle testing under severe humidity and temperature variations—confirming their compliance with the telescope's lifetime and reliability requirements.
A Reflection of Industrial Transition
The telescope's century-long design mirrors a wider industrial transformation—from short-lived components to lifetime-reliable subsystems. With sustainability and overall lifecycle performance gaining ground as top concerns for OEMs around the world, engineers are demanding modular, validated, and long-life motion architectures.
Smooth Motor supports this transition by offering a complete, system-level motion package that goes beyond motors alone—combining pre-matched motors, encoders, drives, controllers, and the corresponding transmission structures or motion modules into an integrated solution. This cohesive architecture allows engineers to validate performance more quickly, streamline system integration, and maintain predictable costs and supply stability, enabling long-term reliability across advanced automation applications.
Technology Behind the Precision
Smooth Motor's core competence stems from precision engineering grounded in material and process control. Each motor is built upon a mature design framework to ensure consistent and stable performance. Leveraging technical expertise across various industries, it addresses critical application challenges by selecting appropriate materials, delivering rapid response and reliable operation even under demanding conditions such as high humidity, extreme temperature variations, or high-speed scenarios. Furthermore, the integrated drive control system enables greater flexibility for innovation, simplifies structural design, and reduces both adaptation and learning costs.
From Astronomy to Industrial Automation
"Being part of the TMT collaboration validates our ability to meet the world's toughest motion control challenges," said Leon C, CMO of Smooth Motor. "The same engineering principles that ensure century-long reliability in astronomy directly benefit our partners in robotics, optics, and advanced automation."
Smooth Motor's telescope-grade technology now extends to sectors where precision and endurance are critical—such as semiconductor assembly, laboratory automation, and robotic actuation. This shift from high-end lab-grade precision to designs ready for big-scale manufacturing really spotlights Smooth Motor's talent for turning fresh innovations into everyday industrial solutions.
