👉 Industrial AI Powered by EVA: Finding the Answer in 'Economic Efficiency' Beyond Performance

In industrial environments, AI is no longer a function to be called only when needed.

It must be an 'Always-on' system that performs continuous inference 24/7, processing the constant stream of data generated by cameras and sensors.

However, operating massive AI models like Vision-Language Models (VLMs) on expensive GPU-based infrastructure around the clock imposes a significant cost burden on customers.

To break down this cost barrier and accelerate the adoption of industrial AI, mellerikat EVA has joined forces with Rebellions.


👍 1. NPU: Surpassing GPU Limits in Price Competitiveness and Efficiency

Innovation in infrastructure costs (TCO) is essential for the widespread adoption of industrial VLM services. Rebellions' NPU meets these demands with superior efficiency compared to general-purpose GPUs.

  • Unrivaled Inference Performance: Rebellions’ ATOM NPU has proven up to 3x faster processing speeds in the vision domain compared to equivalent GPUs in global benchmarks like MLPerf.
  • Superior Performance-per-Watt and Cost Savings: In a 24/7 operational environment, the NPU reduces power consumption by more than 50% compared to GPUs while maintaining high throughput (TPS). This directly leads to a reduction in the customer's operational cost burden.
  • VLM Optimization: Latest large-scale model optimization technologies, such as FlashAttention and PagedAttention, are implemented at the hardware level, allowing heavy VLMs to run lightly and quickly.

EVA running on Rebellions NPU means customers can own cutting-edge Physical AI at the most economical cost.


👍 2. VLM Optimization: Extensive Model Testing and Technical Validation

mellerikat is currently testing various state-of-the-art VLM models within the EVA platform in the Rebellions NPU environment.

We are going beyond simply replacing hardware; we are advancing our software stack to ensure that complex industrial scenarios are processed at optimal speeds on the NPU.

Through this process, we are finalizing the 'NPU-based VLM Service, EVA' at a level ready for immediate field deployment.


👍 3. From LG Electronics Deployment to Global Supply: A Strategic Roadmap

The collaboration between mellerikat and Rebellions aims for substantial business expansion beyond a simple technical partnership.

  1. Advanced VLM Optimization: We are in the validation stage to ensure optimal power efficiency and processing speed by testing various latest VLM models on Rebellions NPU.
  2. Deployment at LG Electronics Production Sites: Based on validated VLM models and NPU optimization technology, we are prioritizing the introduction of NPU-based AI into major production processes and safety monitoring systems within LG Electronics.
  3. External Supply of EVA+NPU Package: Leveraging successful references at LG Electronics, we plan to provide the EVA platform in an integrated solution package with Rebellions NPU for future external clients.

By adopting EVA, customers can enjoy a full-stack service that combines optimized hardware and a robust platform at a reasonable price, without the hassle of selecting complex hardware themselves.


👏 Conclusion: The Standard for Sustainable Industrial AI

The combination of EVA and Rebellions NPU is a strategic choice to transform AI from a simple technology adoption into a service structure that operates continuously at a realistic cost.

Through this powerful collaboration spanning from hardware to the service platform, mellerikat will become a partner that accelerates AI transformation in industrial fields and fundamentally resolves the infrastructure burden for our customers.
