Ellis Group (CEO Kim Jae-won) has been selected for the 2025 Scale-Up TIPS R&D program, hosted by the Ministry of SMEs and Startups. The company plans to use the R&D and commercialization funds secured through this selection to advance its manufacturing-specific AI technology.
Scale-up Tips is a technology growth program that discovers and fosters promising technology-intensive small and medium-sized ventures through collaboration between private investors and the government. The R&D general type, which Ellis Group was selected for, is a core type that focuses on supporting national strategic technologies, responding to global AI competition, and innovative AI companies.
Ellis Group was highly recognized for its capabilities in designing AI infrastructure tailored to industrial sites, operating private clouds, and developing industry-specific AI models and solutions. In particular, its various specialized models, including Helpy Struct, an AI model capable of precisely extracting and structuring complex table, drawing, and document data, were recognized for their technological prowess and commercial viability.
With this selection, Ellis Group will receive a total of KRW 1.2 billion in R&D support over the next three years. The company will develop high-reliability manufacturing intelligent document processing (IDP) technology that integrates VLM and multi-agent models on a private AI infrastructure. This technology aims to address productivity loss in manufacturing by implementing the entire process—from document collection to interpretation, verification, and system integration—in a single AI pipeline.
Ellis Group plans to reduce misreading and misapplication of manufacturing documents with a single AI model, control AI hallucinations through a cross-validation system of AI agents across multiple layers, and secure over 99% reliability. Furthermore, by applying zero-shot technology, the company will enhance versatility by enabling the processing of complex, unfamiliar documents without training.
Through this project, the company plans to accelerate the transition to AI in the domestic manufacturing industry and advance into the global market. In particular, the company aims to secure a competitive edge in the Asian manufacturing market by enhancing document processing capabilities that mix Japanese and Southeast Asian languages.
Kim Jae-won, CEO of Ellis Group, said, “This selection is an official recognition of Ellis Group’s AI model development capabilities, security system, private cloud, and high-reliability AI infrastructure capabilities.” He added, “We will develop AI technologies optimized for the needs of manufacturing and various industries, and leap forward as a standard AI solution company trusted in global industrial sites.”
