【2021 Solutions】 Drone expert Droxo Tech uses its Strengths to Become a Pioneer in Epidemic Prevention

In May 2021, at the Tai'an Elementary School campus in Taichung City, two drones quickly took off and sprayed disinfectant in the campus of Taian Elementary School in Taichung City, completing emergency disinfection of the entire campus in a single day The company using drone technology for epidemic prevention is none other than the Tainan-based Droxo Tech, which has been silently carrying out this technology-based epidemic prevention work for more than six months In fact, Droxo Tech was established in 2018 Members of the team are aerospace technology engineering experts Cheng-Han Hsieh, president of Droxo Tech, who was also a member of the Taiwan team in the 20th APICTA AWARS, said that Droxo Tech mainly develops drone technologies and applications, and is committed to using drones as vehicles to break through the existing technical framework In agriculture and industrial inspection, the company uses highly efficient customized drones to break through existing work patterns and solve problems, such as labor shortage and work hazards in industries Droxo Tech uses drones to carry out disinfection work on the campus of Taian Elementary School in Taichung City The global commercial drone market is expected to grow to US87 billion in 2025 According to statistics of Fuji Chimera Research Institute, as the unit price of drones decreases, drones will gradually become more popular, extending from their initial aerial photography function for general consumers to commercial products for agriculture, measurement, and logistics In terms of drone market size, global drone shipments was 39 million units in 2019, and are estimated to reach 418 million units in 2020 A report published by Global Information, Inc GII also pointed out that commercial drone services, such as photography, entertainment, surveying and aerial operations, disaster survey and relief, early warning systems, data collection and analysis, and environmental monitoring, have considerable profit opportunities, which are predicted to grow to US87 billion per year in 2025 Droxo Tech targets agricultural drones and industrial surveying in the commercial drone market Agricultural drones replace manual pesticide spraying and fertilization, and only needs six minutes to spray approximately 4,850 m2 of land, reducing pesticide use by 50 while achieving a control effect reaching 95 In addition, drones use AI spectrum NDVI image recognition technology to identify the growth status of crops, such as rice paddies, and establish an agricultural information system Industrial inspection drones are for offshore wind turbines, bridges, etc, recording 360-degree images without blind spots for big data analysis in the cloud Agricultural drones are responsible for spraying pesticides and collecting agricultural information, making them a good helper for farmers Cheng-Han Hsieh said that based on the global market observations, using agricultural drones to spray pesticides is a basic need, but the back-end agricultural information analysis is the indicator that is truly important If a data platform can be established, it will greatly benefit agricultural development and pest control In addition, the use of agricultural images combined with multispectral images and analysis of rice paddy soil and fertilizer content has produced concrete results in rice growth monitoring Based on empirical results of rice paddies in Meinong, Kaohsiung, the amount of pesticides sprayed by traditional farmers was double the standard Data analysis let farmers understand that they do not need to spray too much pesticide and it will not affect the quality and harvest The specific method is to record plant growth indicators and import them into the back-end system in coordination with the analysis Whether plants have pests or diseases is determined through back-end big data processing and analysis, monitoring of plant growth, and analysis of infrared images, and different amounts of pesticide are sprayed based on the data "In the past, farmers relied on the weather for their livelihood, but now they let the data speak for itself" Cheng-Han Hsieh believes that helping farmers accurately monitor the growth of crops and make correct decisions is the most important contribution of drones in collecting agricultural information for analysis Targeting agricultural plant protection machines and industrial inspection, Zoyi Technology integrates software and hardware to enter the international market In terms of industrial surveying, traditional industrial inspection has three disadvantages 1 Manual operations is dangerous2 The manual inspection takes too long3 Lack of third-party verification tools Drones overcome the three major disadvantages above Droxo Tech uses drones for bridge and wind turbine inspection First of all, in terms of bridges, traditional inspection requires hanging and inspection time is too long, manual operations are dangerous due to the strong winds Drones can take off at any time for inspection, and 3D models can be created using 3D image recognition, so that rust and cracks have nowhere to hide Drone operation screen The inspection of offshore wind turbines also faces risks such as climbing and hanging of manual operations and strong winds Using drones to replace engineers for inspection work is safe, effective, and convenient Droxo Tech focuses on drone technology Cheng-Han Hsieh said that the short-term goal is still to focus on agricultural drones, supplemented by collecting agricultural information for big data analysis, in order to provide more complete agricultural information to agricultural units as the basis for agricultural reformThe mid-term goal is to continue to improve the flight control system, strengthen the application of the control system in the field, such as automatic landing, automatic tracking, and activate mission schedulingThe long-term goal is to become an automation company specializing in the design of automated vehicles or automated monitoring equipment For example, drones used to spray pesticides are currently used in large outdoor areas, but greenhouses also have great demand Greenhouses with a planting area of 4,850nbspm2 also need to spray pesticides and harvest Since greenhouses are indoors, there is more interference with the drone navigation system After the control system is strengthened, automated guided vehicles AGV or automated design will be introduced indoors or in greenhouses, and the vehicle will be changed from drones to AGVs to solve the troubles of farmers Since Taiwan's agricultural drone market has a limited appetite, about 200 units per year, Droxo Tech also plans to develop overseas markets, initially selecting Southeast Asia and South America Palm trees in Malaysia are crops with high economic value, a large planting area, and have greater opportunity to use agricultural drones nbspAt the same time, in order to help improve the planting environment, Droxo Tech will also establish an agricultural information recording platform and export equipment and systems integrating software and hardware to overseas markets Zoyi Technology's general manager Cheng-Han Hsieh is a drone expert

E-commerce AI Workstation, from material design to e-commerce listing, get it done with one 'click,' fast and convenient Machine learning automatically generates 50 types of product recommendations for direct listing on e-commerce platforms with one click Since its foundation in May 2018, Choice Technology has used machine learning algorithms to collect millions of product designs on social media platforms like Instagram and the largest handmade marketplace Etsy, automatically generating 500,000 design recommendations Clients simply need to upload their product photos, and the AI tools at the e-commerce workstation perform background removal, background addition, and other image editing tasks Unlike the traditional method where retailers had to hire professional photographers and designers to prepare products for e-commerce, this approach saves time, money, and effort According to statistics, the average cost for photographing a product, arranging its layout, and designing it varies from 2,000 to 3,000 RMB per item For a product range of 1,000 items, the cost in money and time can be overwhelming for small and medium-sized e-commerce businesses Choice Technology draws product types from the sales rankings of major e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Shopify, selecting categories such as fashion apparel, catering food, home accessories, fresh fruits and vegetables, sports equipment, and nutrition amp health fashion, among others, with the largest category being fashion apparel, which accounts for up to 56 of sales on the Choice platform Furthermore, during the pandemic, consumers mostly opted for takeout or delivery services such as UberEats and Foodpanda, which has led to a surge in catering food, also becoming an important design recommendation on the platform With over 500,000 photos used to train the AI model, the strongest recognition capabilities are in home and apparel categories Choice Technology team, photo second from the right shows founder and CEO Liu Yi-Han Liu Yi-Han pointed out that after the pandemic, WFH Work From Home has triggered another wave of sales for delivery meals and home accessories In the future, the database will be adjusted dynamically based on the sales ranking movement of e-commerce platforms in terms of product images and attractive background scenarios Helping SMEs transform into e-commerce by offering the first month of rapid listing services for free The operating model of Choice Technology is based on a SaaS B2B model, charging based on the number of photo uploads, billed monthly, and catering to individual retailers, small to medium-sized customers, and corporate clients Since the pandemic, offline retail opportunities have been keen to transition to online sales The Ministry of Economic Affairs Industrial Bureau offers digital transformation schemes for SMEs by providing subsidies to help retailers transform Currently, Choice Technology provides the first month free of rapid listing services to small and medium-sized retailers using online tools like Google Forms for group orders, eventually integrating with e-commerce platforms such as Shopee and Shopify to save listing time, allowing retailers to focus on product quality, beautification, and marketing channel work Regarding the distribution of customers, Liu Yi-Han analyzed that Choice's clientele is divided into two types The first type are physical retail businesses new to e-commerce, who primarily need fast background removal and automatic lighting adjustments for their product photos, often preferring pure white or simple backgrounds The second type is medium to large enterprise brands, who require high-quality product photos with personalized designs suited for different festivals, such as pink items for Valentine's Day, which realistically enhance the shelf presentation and indeed have the potential to become 'explosive products' 'The technology for optimizing product photos is not the issue the challenge is creating suitable and high-conversion scenario photos' Liu Yi-Han stated that data collection and training are automated processes, and AI technology is quite mature The difficulty lies in efficiently collecting data with attractive, high-conversion scenarios for machine learning, requiring continuous dynamic extraction from the sales rankings of major e-commerce platforms Regarding the future business layout of Choice, Liu Yi-Han explained that the short-term goal is to assist physical stores with digital transformation, since many SMEs were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and moving sales online can help reduce the impact of the pandemic As for the mid to long-term goals, affected by the severe pandemic situation in overseas markets, Choice will first serve Taiwan customers well After the pandemic eases further, they will expand into the US and Southeast Asia markets Liu Yi-Han attended the 2020 MarTech Marketing Forum for a panel discussion「Translated

【解決方案】台灣產業護國神山群的最佳幫手 奕瑞科技讓客戶隨選即用
【2021 Solutions】 Yirui Technology, the best helper for Taiwan’s industry to protect the country’s sacred mountains, allows customers to use it whenever they choose.

There is no doubt that AI helps factories become more automated However, the typical AI project takes up to 3 months Is there a solution that can quickly deploy AI technology to improve defect accuracy The answer is yes Customers include AUO, Chimei, TSMC, MediaTek, Macronix and other major electronics manufacturers Yirui Technology, which can be called the best helper of Taiwan’s “Sacred Mountains that protect the country”, has launched “AI service modularization” Modularizing various AI technologies, just like an ordering machine, allows customers to select whatever they need, which can help customers quickly deploy AI and achieve the goal of improving the speed and accuracy of AI projects Yirui Technology, established in 2004, started out by selling the anti-virus software Bakarski It is a professional information security and security company In 2015, it entered the AI field and developed the AI Vision intelligent image recognition system After 2018, it focused on We have accumulated considerable experience in smart image recognition applications at the factory, including license plate recognition, tank truck recognition, personnel and equipment inspection, smart logistics, smart operating machines, and smart unmanned factories Our customers include AUO, Chimei, and TSMC , MediaTek, Macronix, Formosa Plastics, Asia Cement, Far East New Century and other leading companies Various AI applications in Yirui Technology Smart Factory Yirui Technology’s professional technology has won the favor of international manufacturers "Every case of Yirui is not easy, that is because the experience of cooperation with large manufacturers makes our technology more powerful," Zhou Shihan, deputy general manager of Yirui Technology, said with confidence As far as Chimei Industrial is concerned, , the accuracy of defect detection is required to be as high as 995 or more Since Yirui Technology established its AI department in 2018, it has successively served dozens of factories Many customers hope to go online quickly and transfer the AI technology part back to the company so that internal employees can smoothly connect In response to this trend, Yirui Technology has launched two services One is a complete AI product CIC camera accuracy detection system to help customers detect camera abnormalities including disconnection, black screen, camera shift, occlusion, etc such as abnormal screen conditions, an alarm can be issued as soon as possible Another launch is the modularization of AI services The CIC camera availability detection system can assist the factory in monitoring thousands of cameras at a time In the past, employees in charge of monitor-related matters in the factory would regularly check the camera images manually with the naked eye This was not only time-consuming, but also often caused by The person in charge wears multiple hats, and the work of checking the monitor is not fully performed The greatest value of AI is to replace human labor to perform such simple and repetitive tasks Only one CIC host is needed, placed on the intranet, and the cycle can be set to check the health and proper status of the camera, and reports will be automatically generated for relevant personnel to check, greatly improving work efficiency Another concept of service AI service modularization is to turn the AI technology package into software, and the online execution of an AI solution that can be applied on the ground will usually be summarized into several stages 1 Confirmation of customer needs 2 Collection of training data 3 Pre-processing of training data 4 Data delivery for training 5 Algorithm writing 6 User interface writing 7 Database concatenation 8 Additional information will be provided later Taking these eight stages as an example, except that the algorithm writing engineer needs a long period of training, the rest can be done by the company itself or handed over to Yirui for execution Simple basic modules include license plate recognition, industrial safety equipment, etc, and are made into standardized modules As for tank trucks, processes, or the names of chemicals on tank trucks, complete modules can be planned according to customer needs , the customer purchases the "menu" by themselves If the client wants to go online on its own, Yirui Technology can complete the online version within a month, speeding up the customer's AI deployment process Yirui Technology’s AIVISION smart image analysis system is favored by major international manufacturers Yirui Technology currently has 32 employees, including nearly 20 AI engineers Unlike AI manufacturers on the market who can only make simple AI visual recognition, Yirui Technology has a large amount of past training materials, rich project introduction experience, and various identification methods It is 100 made in Taiwan and provides local services Generally, the recognition rate is higher and more accurate At the same time, availability is higher as customers’ demand elastically adjusts Traditional optical inspection has a high false positive rate AIAOI greatly improves yield and production line efficiency For Yirui Technology, AIAOI is also one of the modules Yirui engineers only need to provide a little training data, and they can achieve an accuracy of 80 in about a month, helping enterprises to use AI when it goes online The distance becomes very short In addition to the existing manufacturing plants, Yirui Technology has also entered the field of optics and cooperated with Xiaoma Optics to jointly develop advanced physical optical measurement methods and optical module design At present, most manufacturers will introduce AOI systems for production line defect inspection, but most of them use OCR optical character recognition, which refers to the process of analyzing and recognizing image files of text data to obtain text and layout information technology, which needs to be 100 The accuracy leaves no room for error, leading to accidental killings that often occur This time, Yirui Technology and Xiaoma Optics cooperated to install Yirui's AI system in the optical inspection instruments developed by Xiaoma Optics, adding AI algorithms to the optical detection of defects, and training AI model identification based on the data and needs provided by customers For the determination of defects, the accuracy of determination can be greatly improved, the yield rate can be improved, and the efficiency of the production line can be increased Yirui Technology CEO Zhang Yiyuan "As for AIAOI technology in the optical field, for Yirui, the environmental complexity factors of optical inspection are relatively low As long as the customer defines the defect clearly, the more accurate and detailed the information provided, the better the defect detection and identification The rate can often reach more than 98, and the operation time can also be shortened relatively" Zhou Shihan went on to say that for Yi Rui, the two most difficult parts are that the company's current manpower cannot take on too many AI projects at one time, mainly due to the self-requirements of engineers High, every project needs to be carefully crafted the second part is that large customers usually take a long time to consider their purchases This is why Yirui Technology changed the business model of AI projects to AI service modules and project information consultants Based on customer needs, we can sell modules or semi-finished products and quickly close the case to maintain the company's normal operations In addition to the Taiwan market, Yirui Technology has also extended its reach to the international market There are currently several projects underway in Thailand, one of which is the Royal Rama Hospital in Thailand Yirui is responsible for facial recognition and behavior of patients in the hospital Monitoring to prevent patients from falling, etc Another interesting case is the classification and identification of salvaged items from river garbage ships in Thailand, and the AI identification project of a major auto parts manufacturer Yirui Technology's AI image recognition technology has gradually been recognized and accepted by overseas markets Looking forward to the future, Yirui Technology hopes to expand its experience in AI visual recognition technology from 2D to 3D, and even extend it to audio and video recognition technical services, making Yirui Technology a comprehensive AI professional services company 「Translated content
