EVA Meets Cisco Meraki: Strong On-Site Engagement Through the Ringnet Booth and Customer Case Presentation​

On January 29, 2026, the Cisco Korea Manufacturing Summit 2026, a key event focused on digital transformation in the manufacturing industry, was successfully held. At this event, Mellerikat showcased its innovative Physical AI solution, EVA, presenting concrete ways to maximize safety and operational efficiency on manufacturing floors. In particular, the co-hosted booth with partner Ringnet and the live customer case presentation left a strong impression on attendees. Here are highlights from the vibrant现场.



1. Capturing Attention on the Floor: “EVA x Meraki” at the Ringnet Booth​

At this summit, Mellerikat demonstrated a real-time Physical AI solution that combines Cisco Meraki with EVA at the Ringnet booth.

The booth featured a live demonstration integrating Meraki cameras, backed by robust cloud-based infrastructure, with EVA, which analyzes visual data much like the human eye and brain. Visitors were able to see firsthand how simply connecting EVA to an existing CCTV infrastructure transforms it into an intelligent system capable of understanding and 판단 complex physical environments on its own.

💡 On-site feedback: Many attendees showed strong interest in the ability to build an advanced AI analytics environment using their existing Meraki infrastructure—without investing in additional high-cost hardware. In particular, real-time dashboard visualizations for worker safety detection and restricted-area intrusion alerts, both critical in manufacturing environments, drew enthusiastic reactions from practitioners.



2. A Customer Case Presentation Filled with Laughter and Empathy​

Starting at 1:00 PM, the Case Study session was held under the theme “An Intelligent Platform Opening the Era of Physical AI.” Rather than a simple feature walkthrough, the session vividly illustrated how EVA is actually being used in real manufacturing sites.

The presentation covered concrete examples of how EVA has been deployed in production environments to protect workers and improve operational efficiency. As demonstrated in locations such as Pyeongtaek Digital Park, scenarios where EVA checks compliance with safety gear requirements or immediately alerts operators to dangerous situations resonated strongly with the audience as practical, real-world solutions.

🗣️ Presentation atmosphere: Although it could have been a dry technical session, the speaker explained how EVA addresses on-site challenges with wit and clarity, keeping the audience engaged throughout. After the session, many attendees followed up with comments like “We want to apply this to our factory right away,” clearly demonstrating that EVA is not just theoretical technology, but a “living technology” ready for immediate deployment.



3. Powerful Technology Designed for Ease of Use: EVA​

The core value of EVA emphasized throughout the summit was “professional AI that anyone can use easily.”

  • ✅ Natural language–based control: No complex coding is required. By entering scenarios in everyday language—such as “Find workers not wearing safety helmets”—EVA understands the intent and begins analysis. This enables on-site managers to operate AI systems without being IT experts.
  • ✅ Cost-efficient architecture: Through its unique architecture, EVA significantly reduces the operational costs typically associated with high-priced multi-modal LLMs. As a result, enterprises can deploy high-performance AI across manufacturing sites without excessive infrastructure 부담.
  • ✅ Beyond detection to action (Physical Action Trigger): EVA does more than just observe. When a risk is detected, it can trigger real-world actions—such as turning on warning lights or controlling gates—by integrating with physical devices, delivering a complete closed-loop system.


4. Moving Forward with Continuous Innovation​

The Cisco Korea Manufacturing Summit 2026 clearly demonstrated the value that Mellerikat EVA can create in the manufacturing industry. The strong interest at the Ringnet booth and the lively interaction during the presentation sessions reinforced our confidence in the direction we are heading.

Together with trusted partners such as Cisco Meraki and Ringnet, Mellerikat will continue to lead innovation in Physical AI, helping manufacturing sites become safer, smarter, and more efficient.
