Business ServicesCommercial Due Diligence for a Smart Factory Solutions Provider



Looxent conducted this project to thoroughly assess the core business capabilities and market positioning of a smart factory solutions provider. The primary objective was to deliver foundational insights for investment and operational strategy, evaluating the company’s key technologies—HMI (Human Machine Interface) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition)—and their growth potential, as well as analyzing competition, market trends, and key risks and opportunities.

The target company offers integrated solutions linking HMI and SCADA with MES (Manufacturing Execution System), essential technologies that enhance production efficiency and quality management. These solutions are increasingly critical in advanced manufacturing environments, notably in the semiconductor and secondary battery sectors.

HMI and SCADA technologies compete in a global arena dominated by major players like Schneider Electric and Siemens. The target company, however, maintains strong technology leadership and responsive customer support within its domestic market, sustaining a stable market share. It excels in semiconductor equipment and aims to expand into secondary battery and automotive industries.

The smart factory market is growing at over 10% annually, with post-pandemic digital transformation accelerating adoption. South Korea’s market, fueled by the growth of semiconductors, secondary batteries, and biotech—along with government support—outpaces the global average. The company’s core technologies play a pivotal role in these industries, underscoring its favorable growth prospects.

Beyond mere technology adoption, the smart factory market’s evolution emphasizes data integration and intelligence in manufacturing operations. By enabling real-time monitoring and control of equipment through HMI and SCADA, and seamlessly integrating with MES, the company’s solutions directly enhance productivity and quality in production processes.

Key risk factors identified include intensifying global competition and challenges in expanding market share beyond semiconductors. Considering potential slowdowns in the semiconductor sector and increasing global rivals’ price and technological capabilities, mid- to long-term strategic preparedness is crucial.

On the opportunity side, the global expansion of smart factory solutions and the potential to leverage its existing HMI/SCADA customer base for new ventures stand out. With established overseas distribution networks and large-scale project experience, the company is well-positioned to strengthen its global presence.

This project validated the company’s technological competitiveness and growth potential. These insights provide meaningful groundwork for future investment decisions and operational optimization. As the smart factory market surges and manufacturing digitalization accelerates, the company is uniquely situated to capitalize on its existing customer base and technological strengths.

However, achieving sustainable growth will require careful consideration of new business feasibility and a strategic approach to reinforce its global footprint. By doing so, the company can maintain its technological edge and reinforce market leadership amid intensifying competition.
