Beyond Observation: AI That Takes Action​

The core challenge for AI today is no longer just analyzing data or describing scenes. A truly intelligent system must be able to drive meaningful actions in the physical world or corporate operational systems based on its analysis.

EVA is now moving beyond the role of 'eyes' and 'brain' that perceive visual information and judge situations, to join with the 'hands'—the Workflow Builder. This marks the completion of an End-to-End automation structure that moves past passive, notification-centric monitoring to independently judging site conditions and solving problems.




Workflow Builder: Automation Infrastructure Turning Intelligence into Action​

A Workflow Builder is an automation platform designed to weave different applications, data, and services into a single flow, performing designated actions when specific conditions are met. While such integration previously required complex coding and individual API development, modern Workflow Builders enable anyone to design business logic intuitively through No-code/Low-code environments.

Representative tools include:

  • Microsoft Power Automate: Supports powerful integration with the MS 365 ecosystem (Teams, Outlook, Excel, etc.).
  • Zapier / Make: Global universal platforms that easily connect thousands of SaaS applications.
  • n8n / Node-RED: Open-source tools that allow for on-premise installation and flexible implementation of complex custom logic.

These tools offer an overwhelming advantage in terms of scalability and efficiency. Enterprises can immediately transplant EVA into their existing work systems without changing the tools they already use, leading to a dramatic reduction in development costs and securing operational agility.



The Core of Connectivity: APIs and Webhooks for Instant Integration​

EVA analyzes vast amounts of visual data from on-site cameras in real-time. However, no matter how superior the analysis results are, there are limits to real-time response if they remain trapped within a dashboard. EVA provides the ability to immediately propagate judged situations to external systems via APIs or Webhooks, realizing instant integration with business systems.

Here, the Workflow Builder acts as an Orchestrator that controls the entire automation flow, using the signal sent by EVA as a trigger to execute predefined business logic.


"When EVA perceives and reasons through a situation to send a signal, the Workflow Builder performs the optimal action according to the designed scenario and context."


Through this structure, we can build an intelligent automation loop where 'Perception-Reasoning-Action' are connected without human intervention.



Flexible Data Orchestration and Intelligent Execution Strategies​

The true brilliance of this combination lies in 'Data Orchestration.' This goes beyond simply transmitting signals to the process of converting high-dimensional visual perception data into 'functional business units.'

EVA does not merely report "what was seen." It delivers structured standard JSON events including context, confidence score, location, time, and object relationships. Based on this, the Workflow Builder configures complex execution flows:


Contextual Decision Making Even for the same object detection, response methods are diversified based on time, location, and security level. For example, an unauthorized entry during business hours is handled as a 'manager notification,' while a nighttime detection triggers a 'security system and emergency siren.'


Information Fusion and Intelligent Multicasting EVA’s visual data is enriched by combining it with external databases such as weather information, asset status from ERP systems, or employee directories. This refined information is transformed into formats optimized for each channel (Slack, Email, SMS) and delivered to multiple stakeholders simultaneously.


Event State Management and Action Chains Rather than one-off processing, the system tracks the entire lifecycle of an event. By managing states such as 'Triggered → Acknowledged → Resolved,' it builds a systematic response system. For instance, if a manager does not acknowledge an event within a certain time, it can automatically escalate the alert to a senior supervisor or trigger additional physical responses.



Use Cases: Synergy between EVA and Workflow​

Case 1. Automated Intelligent Analytical Reports​

There is no need for humans to manually verify the massive amounts of visual data generated daily.

  • Process: EVA sends weekly statistics (visitor counts, types of anomalies, frequency, etc.) to the Workflow Builder.
  • Action: Simultaneously with data collection, an analytical report (PDF/Dashboard) with charts is automatically generated and emailed to managers at a specific time each week.
  • Value: Managers are freed from data aggregation tasks and can focus solely on decision-making based on the reported insights.

Case 2. Intelligent Situation Judgment and Proactive Emergency Response​

AI intervenes directly in the physical world to prevent accidents based on the severity of the situation.

  • Process: EVA judges the importance of the situation in real-time (High/Medium/Low).
  • Action: If judged as 'High' risk, the Workflow immediately activates on-site sirens and emergency lights and repeatedly sends urgent calls until a manager acknowledges receipt.
  • Value: Secures the 'golden hour' for accident response and immediately activates physical defense systems.

Case 3. Real-time Synchronization with Manufacturing MES Systems​

On-site visual information is connected to the core operational systems of the enterprise in real-time.

  • Process: EVA determines the completion of processes on the production line or the status of material stacking.
  • Action: The judgment results are reflected in real-time in the production performance or inventory data of the MES (Manufacturing Execution System) via the Workflow.
  • Value: Increases data integrity by eliminating manual input processes and realizes a true smart factory.

Case 4. Smart Space Management and Resource Optimization​

Visual intelligence extends to facility management to achieve cost reduction and operational efficiency.

  • Process: EVA analyzes the presence of people or density in specific areas (meeting rooms, warehouses, lobbies, etc.) in real-time.
  • Action: If no people are detected for a certain period, the Workflow automatically shuts off IoT-based lighting and HVAC systems, or conversely, strengthens the ventilation system if density is high.
  • Value: Minimizes energy waste and maintains a pleasant work environment without human intervention.


The Future of Intelligent Automation: From Seeing AI to Acting AI​

The true value of Physical AI is not limited to precisely moving a robotic arm. The core is the "structure where the results of seeing and understanding the world flow through the system's network to cause actual change."

EVA goes beyond being an AI that 'sees and understands well' to become a core tool that directly converts on-site intelligence into business performance by expanding its touchpoints with various Workflow tools. Now, the sensors around us will evolve beyond mere monitors into 'AI Agents' that solve problems and optimize operations on their own.
