PKX\u00a0has strengthened its partnership with Japan\u2019s\u00a0Yaskawa Electric, a global leader in industrial robotics, to accelerate the adoption of advanced automation across its worldwide mobility-parts operations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">POSCO Mobility Solutions and\u00a0Yaskawa, together with POSCO DX, the group\u2019s IT services subsidiary, signed a three-way agreement on Jan.\u00a014 at POSCO Mobility Solutions\u2019 Cheonan site. Through this collaboration, the three firms will introduce integrated robotic systems to support the production of drive motor cores, a crucial EV and hybrid vehicle\u00a0component\u00a0that converts battery energy into mechanical rotation, turning the wheels. The automation rollout will cover POSCO Mobility Solutions\u2019 plants in Cheonan and Pohang, as well as its international facilities in Poland,\u00a0Mexico\u00a0and India.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">The planned robot systems will automate material movement to measurement equipment and conduct real-time quality-based sorting, which is expected to improve safety, reduce manual\u00a0workload\u00a0and boost production speed. POSCO DX will oversee system design and integration to ensure seamless compatibility with existing production lines, while Yaskawa will supply high-precision robots and provide technical support.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">This initiative builds on successful pilot applications completed at the Pohang facility in the previous year and aligns with POSCO\u2019s long-term strategy to expand robotics, automation and AI-driven manufacturing capabilities across its steel,\u00a0battery\u00a0and industrial businesses. The partnership also supports the group\u2019s objective of advancing physical AI and accelerating its transition toward next-generation intelligent factories.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Shares of PKX are up 22.6% in the past year compared\u00a0with\u00a0the\u00a0industry\u2019s 48.7% rise.<\/p>\n<p>    <img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/korea\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/6cfc5fa09690c928a86ab79ee38a7645.jpeg\" alt=\"Zacks Investment Research\" loading=\"eager\" height=\"319\" width=\"543\" class=\"yf-lglytj  loaded\"\/> Zacks Investment Research      <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Image Source: Zacks Investment Research<\/p>\n<p>      PKX Zacks Rank &amp; Key Picks    <\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">PKX currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1fy9kyt\">Some better-ranked stocks in the Basic Materials space are\u00a0Commercial Metals Company\u00a0(CMC),\u00a0Ternium S.A.\u00a0(TX), and\u00a0Companhia\u00a0Siderugica\u00a0Nacional\u00a0(SID).
