About Safetics
Safetics develops software for evaluating robot workcells before and during industrial deployment. Its web-based SafetyDesigner platform analyses robot motion, work environments and potential human contact to support collision-risk assessment and safe-speed decisions.
The company operates in the validation layer around robot hardware and does not manufacture robots. Its methods are designed to support ISO-aligned risk assessment and deployment documentation, while its CarbonSix partnership links SafetyDesigner-style validation to learned manipulation workflows and planned manufacturing-line Physical AI applications.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-08-25 - Partnership - CarbonSix and Safetics connect SigmaKit with robot-safety validation
The collaboration combines CarbonSix’s SigmaKit learning and manipulation system with Safetics’ robot-motion and work-environment safety analysis. The workflow is intended to span task learning, safety validation, regulatory compliance and production-line application.

NexCOBOT receives exclusive distribution rights for Taiwan, China and Japan and a general distribution role in other regions. The supply agreement carries a KRW 100 million minimum-order condition. The partners are taking SafetyDesigner's pre-installation collision analysis and report generation into NexCOBOT's existing robot and motion-control channels.
Source - 2025-06-23 - Capability - Safetics and Neuromeka integrate real-time collision-risk control
The joint system measures a collision risk index from robot motion and dynamics and presents it in the robot interface. When risk rises, the controller can switch automatically into power-and-force-limiting mode. SafetyDesigner supplies the analysis layer while Neuromeka exposes live monitoring and robot-control responses.
Source - 2024-08-06 - Funding - Safetics raises KRW 2 billion Series A
JB Investment and Honest Ventures participated in the completed Series A round. Safetics had commercialised software that verifies collaborative-robot safety without physical collision testing. The company linked the capital to product development and customer expansion in Korea and international markets.
Source - 2023-09-21 - Regulatory - Safetics analysis supports safety inspection at large cobot workplace
The assessment covered a multi-robot industrial workplace rather than a single demonstration cell. Safetics software evaluated robot motion and human-contact risk against collaborative-operation safety requirements. The result extended the company's earlier certification work to a larger operating environment.
Source - 2022-06-16 - Funding - NAVER D2SF makes follow-on investment in Safetics
The follow-on extended NAVER D2SF's participation after its initial 2020 investment. Safetics was developing collision-safety analysis that predicts force and pressure from robot structure, dynamics and motion. The company tied the technology to safer fence-free collaborative-robot installations and certification workflows.
Source - 2021-09-12 - Partnership - Safetics and Neuromeka agree to co-develop cobot safety functions
The planned integration combined Safetics collision-risk-index calculation with Neuromeka Indy robot control. The programme covered risk monitoring and motion-control responses intended to prevent workplace safety incidents. Neuromeka identified Safetics as its partner for advancing collaborative-robot safety functions.
Source - 2021-08-11 - Regulatory - Safetics-supported cobot installation earns first Korean fence-free safety certification
The certified installation used mathematical modelling to assess human-robot collision forces and pressures instead of relying only on physical collision tests. Safetics applied its analysis to Lounge Lab's ice-cream robot installation. The result established a Korean certification precedent for a collaborative robot operating without separate fencing or proximity sensors.

The work covered joint responses to collaborative-robot workplace certification projects. The companies planned to evaluate Safetics software inside Hyundai Robotics HRspace simulation software and robot controllers. Hyundai linked the programme to faster deployment and higher safety performance for its YL collaborative-robot series.
Source - 2020-10-20 - Funding - Safetics receives initial investment from NAVER D2SF and Mashup Angels
NAVER selected Safetics alongside robotics startup Ydot for its D2SF investment programme. Safetics modelled robot structures and dynamics to predict collision force and pressure without repeated physical impact tests. The financing supported development of safety verification and motion-control technology for collaborative robots.
