[Stock in Focus] CELAB Soars 10% on Hopes for Physical AI Business Expansion

CELAB is showing strong performance in early trading.

As of 9:05 a.m. on August 4, CELAB was trading at 8,300 won, up 10.08% (760 won) from the previous trading day.

Investor sentiment appears to have been boosted after the company announced plans to significantly expand its business across the manufacturing industry?including automobiles, smart factories, and autonomous robots?based on the success of its 'digital twin' project.

Digital twin technology precisely replicates real manufacturing facilities and operational environments in a virtual space, enhancing process efficiency and accuracy. CELAB's digital twin technology collects actual process data and utilizes both the NVIDIA Omniverse platform and its proprietary synthetic data engine (X-GEN) to provide precise virtual simulations. This allows potential issues in the manufacturing process to be identified and prevented in advance, resulting in significant savings of both cost and time.

In 2023, CELAB became the first company in Korea to obtain NVIDIA Omniverse Competency and established a dedicated digital twin organization to develop platform expansion modules. Last year, the company transitioned a project with a global semiconductor firm into a core business, accumulating industrial application experience. Building on this experience and its recently launched enterprise Vision-Language Model (VLM), CELAB plans to connect artificial intelligence (AI) technology?capable of processing both image and text data simultaneously?with digital twin technology to prepare for the era of physical AI.

Yoon Sehyuk, CEO of CELAB, stated, "CELAB is the only company in Korea that possesses both enterprise Vision-Language Model and digital twin capabilities, the core technologies of physical AI. Starting with successful references in the semiconductor industry, we will expand digital twin applications across various manufacturing sectors and lead the era of physical AI."
