Seochidok Wins CES 2027 Innovation Award in "Enterprise Tech" Category

VELOAT AI Platform Integrates and Analyzes Documents, CAD, and BIM
Supports Review Tasks in Construction and Engineering

Artificial intelligence (AI) startup Seochidok announced on November 10 that its VELOAT platform, which integrates and analyzes drawings and Building Information Modeling (BIM) data, had been selected for the Enterprise Tech category of the CES 2027 Innovation Awards.

VELOAT is an enterprise AI solution that connects and searches through and analyzes the vast contracts, specifications, two-dimensional design drawings (CAD), and three-dimensional BIM data used in the construction and engineering industries. Its core function is to find relevant evidence across data in different formats and support review tasks by comparing requirements specified in documents with actual design details.

The CES Innovation Awards are organized by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) and recognize products based on their technology and functionality, design, and innovation. Enterprise Tech covers technologies that improve productivity and operational efficiency in business. Seochidok is pursuing global market expansion with VELOAT, which puts complex data from industrial sites to practical use in review tasks.

Construction projects require multiple documents and drawings to be reviewed together to verify that designs meet client requirements and regulations. If contract terms or designs change during a project, staff must check the latest standards and revisions again, increasing their workload. VELOAT helps with these repeated reviews by connecting documents and design information that were previously kept separate. In particular, it structures clauses and tables in contracts and specifications, and links the geometry and attribute data in drawings and BIM to verify which standards design elements must meet. Users can search for relevant information using natural-language questions and check for conflicts or omissions between designs and requirements.

Seochidok is pursuing commercialization by supplying its solution to major construction companies in South Korea. Going forward, the company plans to expand the technology's applications to sectors such as semiconductors, manufacturing, and shipbuilding, and to advance the technology toward design automation, beyond reviews and report generation.

Baek Junseon, CEO of Seochidok, said, "AI in industrial settings must go beyond providing plausible answers and find the evidence needed to make decisions across complex documents and designs. Building on this award, we will advance our technology for understanding documents, CAD, and BIM together and expand collaboration with overseas customers."
