The era of "Actionable AI"—AI that moves beyond theoretical potential to solve real-world industrial challenges—has arrived. We are officially kicking off a strategic collaboration to fundamentally transform industrial sites by combining the deep Foundation AI research capabilities of our AI researchers with mellerikat’s innovative Physical AI platform, EVA.

While previous AI focused on providing general answers, our core mission is "Vertical AI."

  • Researcher-led Vertical Foundation Models: Our AI researchers develop Foundation models equipped with specialized knowledge and reasoning capabilities optimized for specific industrial sectors.
  • Commercializing Industry-Specific Services with EVA: These Vertical models are immediately integrated into mellerikat’s EVA. Through EVA’s natural language-based scenario settings and real-time field control technology, they are transformed into AI applications that work instantly on-site without the need for complex coding.

A Paradigm Shift in Industrial Safety for Construction and Manufacturing​

Our primary focus is "Industrial Safety," a domain where the highest levels of precision and reliability are mandatory.

  • Safety-Specific Models: We are building dedicated models that possess a deep understanding of the unique risk factors found in construction and manufacturing environments.
  • Intelligent Monitoring Solutions: By combining EVA’s vision capabilities—which "understand" rather than just "see"—we plan to supply next-generation safety solutions to major manufacturing and construction firms. These solutions go beyond simple intrusion detection to proactively predict and respond to risky worker behavior.

Leap forward as a Key Player in the EXAONE Ecosystem​

This collaboration aligns with the LG EXAONE Alliance, South Korea’s premier hyperscale AI ecosystem.

Core Agentic AI Platform: Within the EXAONE ecosystem, which currently features 23 leading partners, EVA serves as the core Agentic AI platform connecting the physical world with AI. Global GTM (Go-To-Market): Leveraging the powerful synergy of the EXAONE ecosystem, we will accelerate our global market entry and secure strong market competitiveness alongside partners from various domains.

Together with our AI researchers, we are standing at the center of innovation—a journey where technology crosses the threshold of the lab to prove its value in the most demanding industrial fields of our lives.
