MPNITE's Competitive Pricing Strategy: The Secret Behind Supporting Korea's SMEs

Hello! We are MPNITE, an AI-powered smart manufacturing platform.

Have you ever hesitated to commission prototype manufacturing due to complex quotation processes and expensive prices? If you've experienced the frustration of sending 3D drawings only to wait days for quotes, or being overwhelmed by wildly different prices from different vendors, today's story is for you.

 

Why did MPNITE create a real-time AI-powered automatic quotation system instead of fixed pricing? It's not simply to showcase technology. Our goal is to solve the practical problems faced by small manufacturers and SMEs - the backbone of Korean manufacturing - and create a new ecosystem where both customers and manufacturers achieve a "win-win" relationship.

 

Three Secrets Behind MPNITE's Pricing Policy!

 

First, No More Slow and Opaque Quotations! AI Solves It in Real-Time

The biggest hurdle in traditional prototype manufacturing has been "quotation." Since staff had to manually review 3D drawings and calculate by hand, it naturally took anywhere from a few hours to several days. MPNITE has completely automated this process with AI.

 

 

- AI-based Shape Analysis: When customers upload 3D files (STEP, STL, etc.), AI immediately analyzes the shape's characteristics and complexity. Based on learning from tens of thousands of similar manufacturing cases, it recommends the manufacturing methods and materials with the highest success rates.

 

- Smart Layer™ for Non-Manufacturing Experts: Abstract requirements like "make it sturdy" or "I want eco-friendly materials" are no problem. MPNITE's Smart Layer™ technology allows users to directly set eight characteristics including strength, precision, heat resistance, and cost efficiency, and AI interprets these to find optimal materials and processes. No more need to study complex material property data!

 

As a result, customers can receive transparent and reasonable quotes in just seconds. It's a revolutionary moment when decision-making speed for turning ideas into prototypes dramatically accelerates.

 

Second, The Core of Price Competitiveness - Awakening 'Sleeping Equipment'

The prejudice that "domestic manufacturing is expensive" and the unfortunate reality that Korean small manufacturers and SMEs are losing ground to China's low-price offensive is a sad truth. MPNITE focused on "idle equipment" to solve this problem. Idle equipment refers to factory machines that can operate normally but are resting due to lack of work.

 

- IoT Sensors for Real-time Tracking: MPNITE attaches IoT vibration sensors to manufacturing equipment like CNC machines and 3D printers at partner companies. These sensors detect subtle vibration patterns to determine in real-time whether equipment is currently operating or idle.

 

- Priority Assignment to Idle Equipment: When customer orders come in, the AI system prioritarily finds and assigns work to currently idle equipment or older equipment that has completed depreciation and can operate at lower costs.

 

This creates an opportunity for manufacturers to generate additional revenue from idle facilities that would otherwise only be costs. These benefits directly translate to "competitive pricing" for customers. This is the core secret of how MPNITE creates price competitiveness while building mutual prosperity with Korean SMEs.

 

Third, Why Do Prices Change? Finding the Most Reasonable 'Current' Value

"The quote I saw yesterday is different from today's quote!" Yes, that can happen.

The reason MPNITE's prices fluctuate in real-time is to always provide customers with the most reasonable optimal price at the 'current moment.'

The MPNITE platform operates like a "manufacturing market" where the availability of numerous manufacturing equipment is traded in real-time. If Equipment A, which offered the lowest price yesterday, is assigned to other work today, AI immediately finds the most efficient Equipment B as an alternative and calculates a new optimal price.

Fixed prices can represent unfair profit or loss for someone. MPNITE's real-time variable pricing represents the most honest and reasonable 'current value' calculated by comprehensively considering all conditions including specific equipment's current idle status and delivery schedule flexibility.

 

MPNITE's Pricing: Not Just Numbers, But a Promise of Mutual Prosperity

MPNITE's pricing policy embodies the 'speed' of AI automation, the 'efficiency' of idle equipment utilization, and the philosophy of 'mutual prosperity' for Korea's small manufacturing ecosystem.

We aim to help small manufacturers with digital transformation through technology, unlock their potential, and connect them to global markets. A virtuous cycle where customers can turn ideas into reality faster and more affordably, while our partner companies generate new revenue from dormant equipment.

 

This is the future of Korean smart manufacturing that MPNITE envisions.
