Asus’s first AI demonstration factory has been activated
Asus has announced that its first artificial intelligence factory has gone live, incorporating numerous Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication technologies to improve the quality of its products and create a smart and resilient manufacturing environment that is efficient, integrated, and intelligent.
According to TechPowerup, the AI factory’s facilities are powered by various AIoT technologies, including 3D digital twin systems, AR platforms, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for factory logistics, and AI-driven defect detection systems. All of these designs help ASUS achieve its Industry 4.0 goals, increase manufacturing efficiency and improve ESG outcomes.
Asus introduced AR glasses into artificial intelligence factories, enabling front-line operators to access production and equipment data anytime, anywhere; the mobile observation room allows workers to free their hands while performing other operations; AI-driven dual-in-package (DIP) device defect detection system adds detection to the assembly process, improving assembly quality, resulting in higher efficiency and accuracy; an advanced early warning system will help prevent misalignment, tilting, and other issues, reducing the amount of rework.
Albert Chang, ASUS Corporate Vice President and Co-Head of the AIoT Business Group, explained the importance of the new factory: “In 2018, our Chairman Jonney Shih started ASUS on a new journey to become a company that transforms and evolves, trusts in radical truth and transparency, embraces idea meritocracy, and fosters collective wisdom. The opening of our first AI-enabled smart factory is a significant milestone in our company transformation and showcases our solid integrated capabilities, from software to hardware, that we offer to our clients and suppliers.”
