【2022 Solutions】 Insight into consumer behavior and intelligent interpretation using AI to assist the catering industry with smooth transformation

In May 2021, due to the local COVID-19 outbreak, a ban on internal use was adopted, making the catering industry feel like it has entered a cold winter, with business bleak and operations facing difficulties However, there are also catering companies that have turned the crisis into an opportunity and actively carried out digital transformation, introducing online ordering and delivery platform systems, establishing customer membership systems, etc, to effectively reduce inventory and increase sales Intelligent Interpretation, a new start-up company established just one year ago, acts as a transformation consultant for the catering and retail industry, collecting, connecting and analyzing consumer behavior data to provide the best solutions for the cateringretail industry Li Qihan, the founder of Intelligent Interpretation, is good at online marketing and website construction As AI technology continues to evolve, he graduated from the Northern Phase II Manager Class of Taiwan Artificial Intelligence School AIA and was impressed by the large number of website sales Data and marketing analysis data can help companies improve their competitiveness and reduce operating costs Therefore, we established an intelligent interpretation company with Taiwan Artificial Intelligence School alumni, hoping to use member information to start collecting more first-party data to help customers build customer vision Analyze the data and identify relevant sales opportunities Targeting the catering and retail industries, intelligent interpretation helps stores use AI to transform "There are many small and medium-sized restaurants in Taiwan We hope to help these small and medium-sized restaurants use simple cloud services and social tools, such as Line, to start collecting and establishing member information systems and collect relevant information Consumption data is used to establish behavioral models of different consumers" Li Qihan went on to say that the catering and retail industries will be targeted at the initial stage, and different consumption behavior analyzes will be used to help stores further increase the frequency of customers visiting the store and the frequency of dining or purchasing, and reduce the use of ingredients Preparation costs The main features of the AI service of intelligent interpretation Affected by the ongoing epidemic, which has severely impacted the performance of physical stores, intelligent interpretation also assists physical stores in establishing e-commerce websites or shopping malls, combining physical and virtual consumption data to provide 360-degree OMO consumers Analysis, and can send marketing messages to different consumers, reducing the large-scale and indiscriminate casting of traditional marketing methods that cause customers to blacklist merchants or block lines, and also increase consumers' willingness to click and purchase Will Li Qihan pointed out that the AI service of intelligent interpretation has the following characteristics 1 Use LINE combined with membership system 2 Use QR Code to replace membership card 3 Provide LINE online orderingreservation 4 Use AI to analyze consumers’ personal preferences 5 Send coupons based on consumer behavior and preferences Using Line ordering information, you can understand consumer behavior such as consumer type, taste, time period, ordering frequency, etc, find consumers of the same group, and conduct summary analysis, which is important for one-to-one customized marketing Reference Li Qihan emphasized that the cost of digital marketing at this stage is very high If there is no classification and grouping after acquiring customers, preferential information will be distributed randomly and easily blocked by consumers The conversion rate will become lower and lower, and the marketing budget invested previously will be in vain AI combines the advantages of MarTech to provide exclusive customized services Although Intelligent Interpretation is a new startup that has been established for nearly a year, in terms of the company's future development strategy, Li Qihan hopes to use MarTech combined with the advantages of AI to first assist the catering and retail industries that are currently most in need of digital transformation Quickly enter the first stage of digital transformation, establish member information and collect consumer data, and then assist these companies to enter the second stage of digital transformation, analyze and use these consumer data, and provide exclusive customized services Li Qihan said that Taiwan’s MarTech market still has considerable room for development Most companies think that advertising on the Internet is the so-called MarTech, or that combining website data with advertising conversion rates and looking at the GA report Google Analytics every day is the so-called MarTech However, he believes that the above situation is only It stops at the collection and analysis of marketing data and is not integrated into the corporate sales and management levels In fact, after the data is collected, it still needs to be integrated, analyzed, and applied according to individual business scenarios This is the real MarTech application method Li Qihan, founder of Intelligent Interpretation, shared his smart retail experience at the AIGO forum As for most companies that believe that as long as they have data, AI algorithm analysis can solve all problems, Li Qihan suggested that companies should have a correct concept of data First, it does not have to be big data AI algorithms can also work with small data Great effect 2 Data is accumulated year by year To collect information, you need to understand the purpose and needs After collecting data, you need to find out its correlation That is to say, first define the use situation and the problem you want to solve, collect data, Only by analyzing data and using machine learning to identify undiscovered sales opportunities can we start to provide marketing application suggestions "The key to the success of using technology for digital transformation lies not in technical issues, but in concepts AI is not a magic pill that will take effect after taking it AI is more like a health food and must be taken continuously to help adjust the corporate body" This is Li Qihan realization He also mentioned that there is an 8020 rule in customer management How to define the 20 customer group What is the definition of VIP customer What issues does the company want to analyze What data should be disassembled It is necessary to peel off the cocoons layer by layer and clarify the above issues one by one This is the "basic project of the sewer" If the foundation is stable, there will be no problem in building a few more floors on top The Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs’ AI problem-solving competition creates a win-win situation for enterprises and innovations Intelligent Interpretation has assisted the internationally renowned catering chain Din Tai Fung to participate in the AIGO "Problem Solving" competition of the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs It understands that almost all catering industries have problems with how much to prepare Many times, when there are too many guests, there is insufficient preparation There are fewer customers, resulting in a waste of ingredients Therefore, it is very important for restaurants to predict the number of customers every day Intelligent interpretation suggestions can be based on weather, store location, and special holidays such as Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, etc through AI , special time parents’ birthday, wedding anniversary and other data correlation analysis, the estimated number of guests is expected to increase the accuracy by more than 80, effectively using AI to solve the problems of catering operators Restaurant Consumer Service Flow Chart Li Qihan pointed out that "industry problem solving, new innovation problem solving" can help enterprises and AI startups find common goals, and also solve the dilemma of new startups not getting usable data, and provide identification through matchmaking on the enterprise side Based on the data, AI startups can put algorithms into practical application, and enterprises can also get solutions for digital transformation, creating a win-win situation After the epidemic, digital transformation is related to the life and death of enterprises How should the cateringretail industry choose AI companies and introduce them Li Qihan, who currently serves as an AIGO smart retail coach for the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and a number of AI consultants, said frankly that if data analysis does not have a certain degree of understanding of AI and practical implementation experience, there may be a high chance of failure in project execution In the retail industry, when it comes to choosing an AI project company, it is best to choose a company that has actually introduced AI projects or has experience in operating e-commerce The recommended principles and steps for introducing AI into the cateringretail industry are If the problem the company asks is too big, it needs to continue to dismantle it Because different problems naturally require different ways of collecting data, with the help of consultants step by step After dismantling, use the data collected according to the usage situation to analyze, and you will naturally get the answer to the problem you want to solve After you find a certain accuracy, you can then use transfer learning to solve similar problems one by one Looking to the future, Intelligent Interpretation hopes to become the number one AI company in Taiwan in the catering and retail industries, using simple and practical methods to help the catering and retail industries implement AI and improve the competitiveness of

【2021 Solutions】 Conversational robots become smart medical helpers, effectively reducing the labor force of 70 people

"I've been eating, drinking, and urinating a lot recently I'm worried about whether I have diabetes" "You can go to the hospital to measure blood sugar If fasting blood sugar is higher than 100 mgdL, and postprandial blood sugar is higher than 140 mgdL, glycated hemoglobin 5764, you may have signs of pre-diabetes” The person talking to the patient may not be a real person, but an intelligent conversation robot This is a smart medical robot developed by Asia Pacific Intelligent Machine Company, which specializes in Natural Language Understanding NLU technology Through multiple rounds of dialogue, it can reduce about 70 of the manpower in medical clinics Founded in 2017, Asia Pacific Intelligent Machine Company, founder and CEO Jerry Wu is a well-known expert in the field of AI and one of the few Google Developers Experts in Asia In the early days of its establishment, it used the interactive conversational robot Open Talk platform to enter smart manufacturing, insurance, media and other industrial fields AI applications grow from broad to refined, Asia-Pacific intelligent machines target the health care field to deeply explore the market "AI technology is a very professional field To achieve in-depth development, a huge amount of manpower and resources must be expended" From the beginning of its establishment, it has explored industrial-wide AI applications After four years of exploration, Jerry understands that With limited manpower and resources, it is necessary to focus and deepen in one vertical field in order to create more revenue sources Therefore, in the past two years, Asia-Pacific Intelligent Machines has decided to focus on the fields of smart health and smart care by using the health and medical corpus accumulated on the Open Talk platform Based on Open Talk, it has developed more accurate auxiliary robots required by medical hospitals as goal AMPIC Healthcare’s Key Advantages Asia-Pacific Intelligent Machinery started cooperation with Formosa Biomedical Engineering, and currently has accumulated more than 40 medical institutions, covering biotech medicine, medical cosmetology, rehabilitation, etc Affected by the novel coronavirus pneumonia COVID-19 epidemic, during the level three alert period, people stayed at home and did not even dare to go to the hospital for medical treatment even if they were sick At this time, Asia Pacific Smart Machine's video medical solution is dispatched It is used in non-contact cloud-based physiological measurements to provide doctors with a reference for long-term care and observation, helping to solve the problem of medical institutions using telemedicine for patient care The specific method is that after seeing the doctor, if the patient has questions about related medications, prescriptions, etc, he or she can directly contact the voice robot through the social communication line Patients with chronic diseases do not need to upload blood pressure, blood oxygen, heartbeat and other data They only need to upload an 8-second video of their own face close-up, and the calculation time is 30 seconds to analyze the patient's pulse index, heartbeat, muscle fatigue and other values , if any abnormality is discovered, the patient can also seek medical treatment immediately Using labeling algorithm to mix physiological measurements seeing and conversational technology listening, it can improve intention understanding by 80 Why can physiological data be measured through close-up videos of faces Jerry further explained that it mainly relies on the AI algorithm label judgment in the background of the system, which means observing the flow of blood vessels based on the reflected light on the face in the video, performing identification actions, and judging the values of heartbeat and blood pressure The recognition rate is It can reach 80-90, which is equivalent to the data measured by the blood pressure machine The difference is that uploading data through a blood pressure machine requires purchasing a blood pressure machine and a self-measurement uploading platform Generally, patients with chronic diseases are mostly middle-aged and elderly people who often forget to measure their blood pressure, which affects the continuous collection of physiological data The action of video shooting and uploading can improve patient cooperation in hospitals and also help clinics continue to track the conditions of chronic patients Because with physiological measurement data, combined with dialogue technology, we can understand the customer's care needs and intentions, reaching 90 For example, if the customer has high blood pressure, abnormal lactic acid value, there may be some possible physical problems, if we match the customer For the content of robot interaction, OpenTalk can parse the two data sources to analyze the customer's intention and further feed it back to the doctor or caregiver, who will decide which care actions to take For example in the field of medical beauty, medical beauty clinics care about what kind of beauty care customers want to do Through robot dialogue and interactive behavior on the device, Asia Pacific Intelligence performs labeling actions, including extracting things of concern in the dialogue , show the intention, such as wanting to do hyaluronic acid, small needle beauty, etc, collect voice and audio and video data, and integrate it into personalized tags, you can recommend skin care treatments, business shopping guides, or list tracking cases, etc, becoming a medical beauty The best assistant for the clinic to understand its clients The care platform recruits an AI technology team and will target the Japanese and Thai markets for international export in the future The AI technology of Asia-Pacific Intelligent Machines starts from natural language understanding and performs labeling actions from conversations In addition to natural language processing, it also focuses on machine vision technology Through images, including the recognition of customer age, gender, and facial emotions, it also masters visual tags and dialogue tags to deeply understand customer needs AMPIC Healthcare’s system service architecture Due to the huge number of disciplines in the medical field, Asia-Pacific smart machines have initially targeted the medical beauty and long-term care markets, and have adopted the concept of a care platform to recruit other AI technology teams At this stage, it has included the detection of dementia and sarcopenia It is expected to be included in the future, including blood sugar detection, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, etc, to explore potential markets and find powerful AI technology partners to jointly develop AI detection technology to make the health and medical services covered by the care platform more complete The Open Talk platform supports multiple languages including Chinese, Taiwanese, English, Japanese and Thai, and has more than 130 automatic question and answer skills, which can automatically grasp customer emotions and customer needs In the future, in addition to plans to introduce more than 100 automatic QA skills to medical institutions in 2022, In addition to the 200 companies, it will also target the Japanese and Thai markets, enter overseas markets, and export service solutions internationally Asia

Having experienced small to medium-sized e-commerce, founders and CEO Zi-Hao Huang and co-founder and COO Yi-Ting Li of Tammy Technology decided to tackle the marketing challenges of all e-commerce personnel using AI technology Focusing on fashion e-commerce, Tammy Technology's personalized recommendation SaaS Software as a Service helps small to medium enterprises tackle the rising costs of marketing and the overwhelming data, enhancing conversion rates and average order value, becoming an invaluable AI assistant in the fashion e-commerce industry Enhancing conversion rates has always been a major challenge for all e-commerce platforms Unlike major players like Google and Facebook who collect browsing history to target interested messages or advertisements, smaller e-commerce businesses lack the resources and manpower to construct data analysis systems or tools Company Position Marketing technology team for small and medium-sized e-commerce utilizing AI to establish automated marketing Established in 2016, Tammy Technology initially aimed to become 'the marketing technology team for small to medium-sized e-commerce,' hoping to resolve challenges of low conversion rates and customer retention through data analysis and personalized recommendation services 'Daniel referring to Zi-Hao Huang and I have both worked in small to medium e-commerce I handled branding, marketing, and design, while he managed backend systems, project management, and development launches, almost everyone was multitasking' Understanding the pain points of e-commerce operators, they decided to help small and medium enterprises by developing automated marketing systems and a personalized recommendation SaaS, aiding those with limited marketing resources Through AI technology, analyze consumer purchase preferences and provide personalized recommendation services By analyzing each consumer's purchase preferences using AI technology and storing their digital footprints in the backend for data analysis, Tammy Technology stands apart from traditional recommendation systems that categorize customers They offer personalized product recommendations based on each individual's style preferences to achieve precise marketing objectives Yi-Ting Li emphasizes that Tammy Technology's personalized recommendation service has two main functions one is to make website personalized recommendations, and the second is to integrate with marketing channels such as email, SMS, and chatbots chatbot to send personalized promotional messages When consumers enter the official website, based on consumer profiles and preferences, different product recommendations can be provided on each page Individual products also have different recommendation systems on different website pages, providing each consumer with a unique shopping experience after entering the site Using deep learning AI technology, Tammy Technology analyzes consumer behaviors at various online shopping touchpoints through various devices, digitalizing all consumer behavioral data to build consumer profiles For example, a consumer with high purchasing frequency designated as VIP, whose preferences for Morandi color schemes, lace materials, high-neck styles, etc, are recorded and tagged When browsing the store's website, the website will recommend corresponding products based on these purchase preference tags for VIP, and can also set customized discounts and pop-up windows, or send personalized messages through mobile SMS, email, etc, ensuring each customer receives discounts that fit their needs At this stage, Tammy Technology's client base includes male and female apparel, shoes, accessories, cosmetics, and other fashion design industries with a strong personalized color Many clients have seen significant results after introducing personalized recommendation services For example, Shu Uemura under the L'Oreal Paris group, specializing in high-performance skin products and trendy makeup products and professional makeup tools, experienced a significant increase in conversion rates by 3 times and a revenue increase of 18 times after adopting Tammy Technology's service Additionally, the well-known apparel business iRoo, after installing a personalized recommendation system on the official website and integrating digital marketing channels like Line and Chatbot, saw the conversion rate rise more than 5 times, with a monthly revenue increase of 21 The pricing model is subscription-based, with large corporations being charged based on specific feature needs The overall effect after customer usage achieves at least a 3 times increase in conversion rate, and an average of 2 times growth in average order value New client base After apparel and cosmetics, pushing into the home decor industry Despite the overall increase in e-commerce sales, the personalized recommendation service has shown impressive results However, due to the pandemic, non-essential fashion industries have been impacted Tammy Technology, which primarily relies on the fashion design industry, saw a decrease in e-commerce performance by about 30 during the pandemic To diversify operational risks, starting from 2022, Tammy Technology expanded its service clientele to include distinctive, quality-type home furniture and living products As for why not expand the client base to 3C products Yi-Ting Li explains, 3C products focus on cost-effectiveness and brand strength, like Apple computers which have a loyal group of fans, making it challenging to sway their purchasing behavior However, apparel, cosmetics, and home decor focus on personalization, style, and taste, like apparel with the fast, short-term 'fast fashion' trends, updating products weekly, and seasonal characteristics, updating personalized recommendations every 3-5 days and cosmetics, including makeup and skincare, which have high customer loyalty and repurchase rates, are most suitable for recommendations and proactive discount messaging Makeup and outfits represent personal taste, thus these two industries can complement each other in personalized recommendations To accelerate the process of integrating businesses with personalized recommendations, it is necessary to establish an SOP,' Yi-Ting Li continued, 'Tammy Technology, by introducing recommendation services in the fashion design industry, has constructed a service process SOP to facilitate rapid successful experience replication, expecting to quickly integrate into the life and home industry in the second half of the year New business model Establishing a new marketing model centered on the consumer Currently, Tammy Technology's client number has exceeded 2000, including globally renowned fashion brands like L'Oreal and BLUE WAY The future focus will remain overseas, aiming for markets like Hong Kong, Singapore, and North America Tammy Technology, with its successful experience of integrating recommendation systems into fashion e-commerce, has gained investors' favor, securing investments from domestic and international accelerators in 2021, raising a total of 70 million New Taiwan dollars, allowing for workforce and

【2022 Solutions】 Voice Separation in 7 Milliseconds: RelaJet's Future Technology Makes 'Hearing and Speaking Easier' for the Hearing Impaired

One rainy Thursday afternoon near Taipei Arena, the Taipei Experience Center of RelaJet was fully booked with appointments from people with hearing loss eager to try hearing aids made with a voice separation engine For the hearing impaired, having affordable, lightweight, and effective noise-reducing hearing aids is truly a blessing 'We hope to help users in need to hear the world's wonders again' This empathetic expectation by RelaJet's founder and CEO Po-Ju Chen, who is also hearing impaired, illustrates his understanding of the needs of the hearing impaired He hopes that RelaJet's unique voice amplification hearing aid technology will benefit many more people Affordable hearing aids benefit many with hearing loss Founded in 2018 by Po-Ju Chen and his brother Yu-Ren Chen, RelaJet developed a multi-voice separation engine paired with Qualcomm's Bluetooth audio platform, drastically reducing the price of imported hearing aids, typically costing 80,000-100,000 NT dollars, to just under 10,000 NT dollars They aim to develop affordable goods with excellent noise-cancelling capabilities that wirelessly connect to smartphones In its first two years, the company primarily developed the multi-voice separation engine, which significantly improved the noise reduction quality Once equipped with Qualcomm Bluetooth earphone chips, the audio processing time is drastically short, at about 7 milliseconds to enhance main voice projection and reduce ambient noise, less than half the time required by traditional medical standard of 16 milliseconds for hearing aids, nearly 'zero-delay' 洞見未來科技推出平價助輔聽器,大大嘉惠聽損者 Yu-Ren Chen explains that the primary use of Qualcomm chips for edge computing, along with a streamlined algorithm, achieves extremely low latency and better noise reduction The hearing aids can cover 18 channels, whereas traditional hearing aids cover 4-48 channels In the future, RelaJet will progressively increase the number of channels According to statistics, there are 470 million people globally with hearing disabilities, with a 30 average device use rate in developed countries, with the highest in Western countries Taiwan has nearly 15 million people with disabling hearing loss, of which the middle-aged and elderly make up 30, yet the device use rate is only about 10, which is quite low Yu-Ren Chen further analyzes that the low device usage rate is due to two reasons firstly, the high average selling price of international big brands ranges from 80,000 to 200,000 NT dollars with a three-year usability period, which deters many due to the high cost and maintenance Secondly, in noisy environments, the noise is also amplified which does not necessarily ensure clarity for the users, and the sound parameters can't be adjusted in real-time, making it inconvenient to frequently visit stores for tuning Thirdly, most models cannot connect to smartphones, making it inconvenient for the hearing impaired to take phone calls Utilizing Qualcomm Bluetooth chips for rapid product development In light of this, Po-Ju Chen, formerly a semiconductor engineer at MediaTek, leads the technical development, while Yu-Ren Chen, with a legal background, manages the operations Their seamless collaboration, along with their team employing AI algorithms and chip integration, learns from thousands of hours of audio files in databases through neural networks and deep learning technologies to develop low-latency, high-noise-reduction voice amplification technologies for hearing aids In 2019, this sound processing technology was integrated into Qualcomm Bluetooth chips, winning first place in the Qualcomm Taiwan Startup Competition and becoming a partner in Qualcomm's Global Expansion Program, significantly boosting product development pace In 2021, they launched their own Otoadd series of hearingenhancement products in Taiwan, which received both market favor and positive reviews from many with hearing loss Based on different consumer needs, various product designs are available According to Yu-Ren Chen, the Otoadd wireless earphones with hearing enhancement functions, model N1, are entry-level neckband style priced at 9,500 NT per pair Users can wear the hearing aid while taking calls, and control noise reduction strength and volume through a mobile app They plan to develop accessories in the future tailored to the needs of older adults Besides being available for trials at experience centers in Taipei and Kaohsiung, this hearing aid is also sold through PChome, Taiwan Mobile's myfone, and Elder Age networks, among other channels Another model intended for individuals with mild to severe hearing loss is the Classic R hearing aid, which received the Japanese Good Design Award in 2021 Since its market debut last year, it has attracted those with congenital hearing loss, with users noting improved clarity in noisy environments and appreciating the convenience of Bluetooth connectivity for calls and watching videos This product is anticipated to be exported to international markets in the latter half of this year Additionally, a hearing aid product combining Bluetooth functionality, set to launch in June this year, is sized like typical Bluetooth earphones, targeting visually conscious consumers with hearing loss Its small size and attractive wireless earphone design allow for phone calls, and if approved by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, eligible users can apply for government subsidies RelaJet to expand into overseas markets, using the USA as a beachhead An interesting question arises due to the pandemic everyone must wear masks which impedes lip-reading How does this affect those with hearing loss Yu-Ren Chen indicates that this situation highlights RelaJet's advantages As each person with hearing loss has different levels of hearing ability, hearing aids can only augment to an appropriate volume, assisting users to hear about 60-70 content, with the remainder relying on lip reading and gestures During the pandemic, as everyone wears masks, masks also muffle sounds, but RelaJet's voice separation engine can correct and strengthen the separation, making it easier for those with hearing loss to recognize voices Besides the Taiwan market, RelaJet's next stage will be expanding into overseas markets, expecting to obtain ISO 13485 medical device quality management system certification and US medical device approval in 2022 They plan to enter the US market, either under their own brand or through OEM arrangements Apart from the Taiwan market, RelaJet will also enter the US market in the next phase for hearing aids「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」

【2020 Solutions】 Lightweight AI Readiness, Assisting Enterprises in Easy Digital Transformation

In the era of AI, whether it's smart manufacturing or smart retail industry applications, the most important first step is data collection, especially on factory machines where thousands of information streams exist It's crucial to define what information is useful and what constitutes useless digital junk from the onset If there is simple, lightweight, and low-cost software, it could help enterprises collect data from machines and analyze and predict to achieve traditional enterprises' digital transformation goals AI Commercialization Insufficient, Main Consideration for Enterprises is Cost-Benefit Located in Xindian, New Taipei City, the headquarters of Beier Electronics Asia Pacific is a technology company committed to industrial automation and high-standard data communication Its main products include Industrial IoT Gateways devices linking two different network systems, transmitting data to other networks with similar functionalities but different structures, War Room Visualization software, HMI, with core technologies being controller communication drivers and visualization software Lee Li-Wei, the deputy director of product management and support at Beier Electronics, who has worked at Advantech and Xinchang Company, and familiar with Industry 40 operations, stated that when assessing whether to introduce AI, the most important consideration is cost and benefit From his observations over the years, the level of AI commercialization is still very insufficient because AI is often customized, not mass-reproducible, hence naturally expensive Only if AI moves to vertical applications and standardizes products, like using AOI for defect inspection or predictive diagnostics for motors or tools, can such AI possibly be commercialized and cost-effective X2 pro提供各種高性能工業用人機介面 At this stage, digital transformation challenges faced by factories include 1 Data collection difficulties 2 Factory equipment needing updates, which consumes time 3 High costs For large enterprises, sufficient funds and human resources allow them to introduce AI and undergo digital transformation projects As for SMEs, limited by resources, the key factor is cost-benefit, determining whether to introduce AI Existing software that assists in data collection and provides decision-making visualization software may meet current practical needs Once business owners see tangible benefits, they can further consider the need and incentives for adopting AI As a professional manufacturer of human-machine interfaces in Europe and America, Beier Electronics provides visualization software that fetches controller data on production lines and machine tools, as well as IT data integration services Using AI technology optimized for productivity and quality management can solve data fetching and integration issues For example, the factory war room displays the day's factory data and even real-time financial reports on a large screen wall Factory decision-makers can then use the integrated information and war analysis converted by visualization software to make decisions about production, marketing, inventory management, and procurement preparations Three major advantages of the war room low cost, easy maintenance, and mass reproducibility Compared to a typical factory war room, Beier Electronics' war room service has three major advantages it offers a low-cost, packaged visualization software it doesn't depend on engineers for maintenance and the war room can be easily commercialized and mass produced, which also accommodates future expansions from automation to IoT devices Lee further explains that AI primarily retrieves data for assessment, unlike automation, which demands real-time reaction It can tolerate a slower data fetching speed, still within milliseconds Human-machine communication doesn't need a special interface, so it can be decoupled from existing controllers without program changes, directly interfacing with existing hardware on the production line to fetch data, using existing software for data reading and analysis, aiding in decision management, and carrying out factory digitization upgrades As for whether Beier Electronics will introduce AI algorithm technology to provide users not only with data collection but also analysis and prediction services Lee stated that Beier Electronics considers three aspects Firstly, data collection is absolutely crucial when introducing AI At the same time, it must be done without increasing costs or changing site equipment for high customer acceptance Secondly, what problems AI aims to solve must be clearly defined Beier Electronics' clientele includes PLC programmable logic controller vendors, including Delta Electronics, Yonghong, Alliance Automation, Shilin Electric, and international giants such as Siemens, Rock weld, and MITSUBISHI However, the ultimate customers are PLC users, covering industries beyond semiconductors, including petrochemicals, 3C manufacturing, automotive manufacturing, power generation, and risk control The domain knowledge covered is extensive Given limited resources, whether to extend services to AI is still under consideration However, if professional specialization can be implemented, Beier Electronics plans to arrange an industrial ecosystem, introducing strategic partners to assist customers toward AIoT goals Deputy Director Lee Li-Wei, Product Management and Support Department at Beier Electronics「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for

customized chip design and solutions can increase processing performance and effectively reduce costs, making AI applications in finance, healthcare, and manufacturing easy and feasible The company's core service is the high-performance hardware acceleration platform FPGA Fansi Data was founded in October 2018 by a founding team from National Tsing Hua University, National Chiao Tung University, and National Taipei University The company currently has 11 employees, including the chip design director Liu Wenkai from the IC design company Huirong Technology, who leads a 5-person IC design team They spent over a year developing the high-performance hardware acceleration platform FPGA, which became the company's core service Fansi Data integrates software and hardware to develop a high-performance hardware acceleration platform FPGA 'To bring AI to practical implementation, the challenges are cost and real processing situations Purchasing a standard set of NIDIA GPUs is expensive If we can adjust the hardware through customization, producing a setup tailored for use, the costs can be significantly reduced' Said Liao Yanchin, General Manager of Fansi Data, who additionally pointed out that most AI startups currently only have software engineers and lack hardware engineers Fansi Data excels in data handling and softwarehardware integration, has an excellent team, and can efficiently solve data issues while developing softwarehardware solutions tailored to customer needs Financial markets are notoriously fickle, as evidenced by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered a global stock market crash and was reinforced by program trading, leading to the unprecedented implementation of four trading halts in US stock exchanges within a decade This has significantly raised investors' risk awareness Zheng Zongyi, co-founder of Fansi Data, experienced in financial trading, points out that in financial markets such as stocks, futures, and warrants, 'speed' is often the key to victory Typically, the traditional stock trading process involves financial trading data flowing from the network to the mainframe, processed through combination software, measured in milliseconds ms, 10-3 seconds, with an average transaction completed in 20 ms System transaction processing speed, however, is at the nanosecond level ns, 10-9 seconds, and through the high-performance hardware acceleration platform FPGA, each financial matching transaction can be completed in microseconds, a significant difference that can lead to billions in trading gains or losses, and is a major competitive edge for proprietary traders Financial services in the domain of securities firms' proprietary sections, new types of financial product trading departments, and high-frequency traders or major retail traders In the securities market, market volatility is the result of a tremendous amount of data If the system operates at nanosecond speed, allowing you to see transaction information instantaneously, ahead by 01 seconds, you can make trading decisions before others even see the market data Service areas focus on financial technology and smart manufacturing The risk control systems of bank credit cards can also utilize AI integration acceleration, similar to regulatory technology domains Establishing an AI model can effectively identify

【2020 Solutions】 Smart Scheduling for Smoother Rides and Cost Reduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has spurred the popularity of delivery platforms such as Uber Eats and Foodpanda, creating an urgent need for smart dispatch systems Imagine if drivers could determine from their mobile phones or online platforms where there are no traffic jams, which roads have the fewest traffic lights AI could help plan the most suitable schedules, significantly improving logistics efficiency and reducing overwork With the flourishing of commercial activities, the logistics sector, which provides personnelgoods movement services, lacks smarter scheduling According to research by the international research organization Gartner, 97 of the global logistics industry does not use optimized software for effective planning Smart Scheduling Resolves Stakeholder Pain Points Let's first understand where the pain points lie among stakeholders in the logistics industry chain Employer's perspective In response to various types of delivery services, especially new types like food delivery, how to increase performance without expanding the fleet size Dispatcher's perspective Vehicle scheduling is very challenging, and the bosses demand increased efficiency, which is difficult to achieve without computers Driver's perspective Poor scheduling by the dispatcher leads to incomplete deliveries or traffic jams, often requiring overtime, or even accidentally running red lights, resulting in fines Addressing these issues, Zong Lan-Ken, founder and CEO of Singularity Infinite, states, 'All these problems are classical mathematical problems' Singularity Infinite's AIR Smart Dispatch Cloud Service is a cloud-based software service that resolves last-mile delivery scheduling and routing issues It addresses daily challenges faced by operators in managing goods, vehicles, and routes, enabling them to handle more orders with fewer vehicles Smart Scheduling System Schedule Zong Lan-Ken, who specializes in data science solutions for public needs and formerly served as an associate research professor at the Geographic Information Systems Research Center of Feng Chia University, founded Singularity Infinite in 2015 He aims to solve smart mobility issues using mathematics, statistics, and software technology The company's developed AIRouting optimization technique provides real-time traffic data and dynamic planning to assist operators in more efficient dispatching Singularity Infinite integrates real-time traffic and signal information and can handle high-frequency unconventional logistics models, such as gourmet delivery and electric scooter battery swap strategies For example, electric scooters must replace their batteries after every 50 kilometers If a scooter runs out of battery, the rider leaves it on the roadside The scooter operator must locate the depleted scooter and replace its battery To maintain effective operations, operators must keep the utilization rate of scooters between 80-90 For instance, in the Greater Taipei area with 10,000 scooters, maintaining more than 8,000 scooters on the roads at any time is crucial, yet without a smart scheduling system, high utilization rates cannot be maintained Following the system's introduction by WeMo in 2019, the utilization rate significantly improved by approximately 75 Effectiveness of AIR Smart Dispatch Cloud Service Introduction AIR Smart Dispatch Cloud Service has effectively increased the utilization rate by 75 Additionally, in the food ingredient delivery logistics, there have been notable results Traditional ingredient delivery companies need up to 25 trucks per day to transport fresh ingredients from produce markets, agricultural marketing companies, or seafood markets to restaurants After introducing the AIR Smart Dispatch Cloud Service, the number of trucks required per day was reduced to a maximum of 12, significantly cutting over half of the truck costs Singularity Infinite's team includes experts in mathematics, transportation, and AI technologies The traffic information used is from OpenStreetMap, supplemented with province-wide real-time traffic flow data to analyze congestion during different periods Additionally, future plans include using signal timing data to calculate which road segments have the fewest red lights and shortest red durations, to plan optimal routes, reducing the burden on logistics operators and drivers Singularity Infinite's team, the picture third from right is Zong Lan-Ken, founder and CEO of Singularity Infinite Besides logistics and transport, AIR Smart Dispatch Cloud Service can also be applied in container yard stacking, factory machine scheduling, project management, hospital bed allocation or operating room scheduling, and flight gate assignments among other areas Singularity Infinite employs two business models One involves customizing exclusive scheduling systems for clients, paid monthlyyearly on a pay-per-use basis the other involves system integration followed by revenue sharing with the client Fundamentally, Singularity Infinite provides APIs for integration, allowing operators to develop their own apps or provide services through websites In the entrepreneurial process, what are the most challenging aspects Zong Lan-Ken believes that entrepreneurship is a continuous series of multiple-choice questions, simplifying numerous questions into fewer choices, further simplifying each option to choose the correct answer Previously, it was mistakenly believed that 'technology can solve problems', but it was discovered that efficiency issues can not be solely resolved through mathematics, as the world does not operate this way In this ecosystem, 'who' will stop adoption due to 'whose opinion' For example, in the logistics industry, the most critical aspect of transporting goods is the driver, who needs rest If the system is introduced, and scheduling becomes completely transparent, drivers do not get time to rest The wrong introduction makes the system a tool for exploitation Hence, it is essential to consider human aspects, integrating rest times into the mathematical model to gain driver support Also, by knowing beforehand that a driver's home is near a train station, scheduling the last stop near the station lets the driver return home right after delivery These examples can significantly increase driver acceptance and greatly enhance the success rate of project adoption Zong Lan-Ken finally points out that data collection is crucial to the success of traditional industries' digital transformation in the future Without data, there is no data science, and no AI Singularity Infinite holds patents for automated data collection and recording, which can reduce data collection costs At the same time, the collected and stored data's high usability will serve as an important foundation for future intelligent logistics「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」

【2020 Solutions】 Robot financial management helps investors balance risks and profits

In the era of "if you don't manage your money, money will not care about you", how to avoid the risks of the investment market and grasp investment returns has become the biggest hope of investors In order to overcome the human weaknesses of greed and fear, financial management robots developed through AI algorithms can help investors avoid disasters and enjoy fruitful profits in the treacherous and ever-changing financial market On March 17, 2020, affected by the global spread of the new coronavirus pneumonia COVID-19, also known as Wuhan pneumonia, the US stock market continued to plummet after opening, triggering the third circuit breaker in the US stock market, which was also the fourth in history After the circuit breaker, investors in the securities market were in distress and could not even escape for their lives Before that, the financial management robot had suggested adjusting the proportion of stocks and bonds, reducing the proportion of high-risk stocks, increasing the proportion of relatively safe bonds, and adding high risk aversion Gold and other combinations enable investors to effectively reduce investment risks and losses Robotic financial management has two service models B2B and B2C The robot financial management service provided by Leading Information Technology Company provides investors with a stable financial management tool Peng Hansheng, co-founder and CEO of Leading Information Technology, said that Leading Information Technology currently provides two service models The first is the Taiwan B2B model, which is to cooperate with domestic financial institutions to provide robot financial algorithm engines, Artificial intelligence market prediction engine, jointly launch robot financial management services the other is an American B2C model, aiming to serve Chinese American customers, self-developed intelligent financial management APP Growin, using AI and quantitative models to provide customized investment and financial management in ETFs and individual stocks Serve Among them, due to restrictions on regulations, the B2B financial management robot launched by Leading in Taiwan is cooperating with the domestic financial industry, including banks, insurance, etc Currently Leading's partners include an investment advisory and credit company, and a life insurance company The company and two banks provide customer financial management robots as a trading tool that consumers can rely on In addition, Taiwan's leader in the information service industry - Jingcheng Information provides diversified financial information services to financial institutions Liding also provides investors with investment portfolio recommendations for smart financial management by connecting APIs to the Jingcheng Information system Smart financial management APP Growin uses AI and quantitative models to provide customized investment and financial services in ETFs and individual stocks The financial regulations in the United States are relatively mature, allowing companies to set up online investment advisory companies Liding connects with the US brokerage system through APIs, and the partner is Interactive Brokers, the largest and No 1 company in the United States Broker, providing direct consumer services Interactive Brokers customers can place orders directly through the APP and enjoy the services of the financial management robot The iOS version is currently available for download The robot financial management platform charges a management fee of 05-1 of the investment amount every year There are 10 investment portfolios for consumers to choose from Stocks with high investment returns have higher management fees If you choose relatively stable ETFs, the fees will be Less expensive The services of Liding Financial Management Robot are mainly focused on medium and long-term investment Taking the United States as an example, the investment targets include 5,000 stocks and 2,000 ETFs in the US market Among them, the average investment return rate based on different risk investment portfolios is 45 -18 or so, and ETF is between 45 and 9 Introducing AI algorithms into investment and financial management can not only significantly reduce the impact of human emotions, but also enable disciplined execution of every investment decision, more effective prediction of the market, and immediate response to its trends Robotic financial management targets retired people and focuses on medium and long-term investment Take the global stock market crash triggered by the impact of the new coronavirus as an example The original investment portfolio of the financial management robot had a stock and bond ratio of 7 to 3 respectively Shortly after the global stock market crash, it automatically reversed and adjusted to 3 to 7, that is, to increase the bond ratio Proportion, reduce the proportion of stocks to avoid high investment risks Peng Hansheng said that the financial management robot uses AI technology models to gather 18 important global market indicators and economic trend forecasts for the next 1-3 months It can provide reversal suggestions when the market is about to fall sharply and avoid high investment risks Therefore, in The losses were relatively minor amid a sharp decline in global stock markets However, relatively speaking, when global stock markets rose sharply in April, the growth rate of financial management robots was relatively small, which is suitable for steady financial investors who pursue long-term performance Peng Hansheng said that investor financial management through AI algorithms can overcome the investment mistakes that ordinary investors are easily affected by emotions, news or irrational selling At the same time, in the form of a basket investment portfolio, It can also effectively diversify risks and reduce investment losses Integrated learning concepts can achieve dynamic asset allocation effects return on investment The so-called "ensemble learning" solves a single prediction problem by building a combination of several models Its working principle is to build multiple classifiersmodels on the data set, each independently learn and make predictions, and these predictions are finally combined into a single prediction The predictions are therefore better than those made by any single classifier In addition, using an "unsupervised" training and learning method, also known as "Hierarchical Clustering", the system will automatically classify the investment targets within the target range every month, allowing the machine to learn Financial report information, value investment, and then improve operational performance The choice of robot financial management as an entrepreneurial theme is mainly related to Peng Hansheng's financial engineering background He graduated from the Department of Finance at Tsinghua University and later went to Columbia University to study financial mathematics After graduation, he entered Wall Street to engage in quantitative trading 2-3 year time Three years ago, after witnessing the sudden ups and downs of the stock market and investors' irrational pursuit of highs and lows, resulting in investment failures, Peng Hansheng decided to contribute what he had learned to Taiwanese society and founded Liding Information Technology Company, specializing in robot financial services It is hoped that through the new smart financial management method driven by AI, it can help investors avoid bad luck and manage their finances steadily The most difficult thing about promoting AI financial management is that according to statistics, when financial management robots make investment portfolio recommendations, up to 40 of investors do not follow them, unable to overcome human weaknesses, and the final result is a losing position getting bigger In addition, in the B2B robot financial management market, the business logic of banks and insurance industries is different from that of financial management robots For example, banks specialize in wealth management, and high-end customers usually prefer direct service from financial specialists and do not like to interact with machines Therefore, promotion in the banking industry is difficult In the future, bank financial professionals or securities traders will be targeted, making the financial management robot an investment advice auxiliary tool for financial professionals and stock traders Peng Hansheng, co-founder and CEO of Liding Information Technology 「Translated

【2020 Solutions】 AI cold chain transportation chain breakage warning system significantly reduces the loss of goods due to temperature loss

Farmers work hard in the fields to produce the freshest, nutritious and delicious crops Without a good cold chain transportation system, not only will farmers’ hard work go to waste, but agricultural enterprises will also suffer losses due to temperature loss and damage to refrigerated goods Loss has also become a major pain point The AI cold chain transportation chain break warning system can help reduce costs and improve the efficiency of fruit and vegetable transportation and preservation Zhongtian Technology, founded in 2017, is committed to using Internet of Things technology to develop smart agriculture In addition to winning many awards such as the Smart City Innovation Application Award, it has also assisted private institutions such as Xingnong Group and the Agricultural Experimental Institute in the construction of Smart agricultural software and hardware equipment Monitoring temperature throughout the cold chain must rely on AI technology to assist Chen Zhiming, chief consultant of Zhongtian Technology and a professor at the School of Information at Lingdong University of Science and Technology, said that Xingnong Group, which has more than 200 fertilizer supply centers across the country, and its Yumei Research Company have the most high-end greenhouses in Taiwan, and its products include crops such as beef tomatoes , supplying Formosa Steaks, McDonald's, COSTCO and five-star hotels, etc Yumei Research itself has 3 refrigerated trucks and 12 refrigerated rooms However, the transportation of vegetables, fruits, fresh food and other food needs to be kept in a low-temperature environment The ambient temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, position, and opening and closing of the transportation box during transportation need to be monitored in real time for owners to ensure Understanding whether the quality of refrigerated food storage and transportation is affected by temperature changes cannot be done through human monitoring and must rely on the assistance of AI technology Agriculture 40 simple APP operation interface At present, the general practice of cold chain equipment manufacturers is to place wireless temperature recording devices in refrigerated goods and transport them together to record whether the quality is affected by temperature changes during the entire transport process A small number of refrigerated trucks also use 4G networks to transmit The temperature information of the refrigerated space in the vehicle provides monitoring of temperature changes in the cold chain during movement However, the above two methods can only know whether the quality of the product is affected by temperature changes at the final arrival time, and cannot provide analysis and early warning for various conditions that may occur during product storage and transportation to ensure refrigeration Quality assurance and instant feedback of information during product delivery information Schematic diagram of cooperation between ICTIoT technology in agriculture Once the cargo status is abnormal or is about to occur, the AI system can immediately execute warning notifications, which can reduce the loss of broken links caused by environmental changes The overall cold chain monitoring scope extends from logistics and transportation to unloading, transshipment and storage, thereby building a complete cold chain monitoring system AI technology is introduced into the cold chain system, reducing product damage rate by 75 Chen Zhiming said that after the system is established, the proportion of refrigerated goods that are damaged due to temperature changes can be reduced by 75 At the same time, through AI intelligent judgment and statistical analysis algorithms, real-time information on each storage space, delivery vehicle and even pallets can be provided Usage status, it can provide intelligent scheduling and data analysis to increase the utilization rate of the overall cold chain system by 20, which is a good result Taiwan Fengkang Supermarket, owned by Yumei Research Company, has 48 stores north of Hsinchu in the province, with a wide range of products and 100 refrigerated trucks It is currently being planned by Guoxing Information, hoping to break the AI cold chain transportation chain The early warning system has been introduced into Fengkang supermarkets across the province, allowing consumers in metropolitan areas to enjoy better quality refrigerated fresh fruits, vegetables and food In addition to the AI cold chain transportation chain breakage warning system that solves the problem of freshness throughout the entire process "from the production area to the supermarket", agricultural enterprises also have a pain point In order to save electricity during the transportation process, outsourcing manufacturers may turn off the air conditioners on the vehicles In other words, during the 2-4 hour transportation process, the air conditioner may be turned on in the first half hour and the second half hour, and may be without air conditioning at other times In this situation, a Bluetooth data collector can also be installed in the pallet Temperature data is collected every five minutes to ensure that the goods are kept fresh throughout the transportation process Changes in refrigerated temperature trends Greenhouse temperature and humidity change trend chart Chen Zhiming said that Xingnong Group is Taiwan's leading agricultural enterprise Its subsidiary Guoxing Information can build a powerful AI expert system through knowledge in the agricultural field From greenhouses, logistics vehicles, warehouses, sub-warehouses to supermarkets, it can collect and collect data throughout the entire process Get refrigerated truck information For ordinary small farmers, resources are not abundant In the future, Zhongtian Technology will cooperate with Chunghwa Telecom to provide mobile APP promotion for a monthly fee to assist farmers in real-time monitoring of the environmental temperature, humidity, and wind speed required for planting Information such as direction, sunshine and rainfall can be used to facilitate farmers to respond early, and multiple fields can be controlled at the same time, which will greatly reduce the need for manpower and achieve the purpose of smart planting Chen Zhiming, Chief Consultant of Zhongtian Technology

【2020 Solutions】 All 10,000 background music tracks are AI-made: Anpu targets the global broadcasting market

"Why does the music industry need AI What problems can AI solve" These are the questions Zeng Zhizhong, the founder and CEO of Anpu Artificial Intelligence Co, Ltd, continuously asks himself Since founding the company in 2018, Zeng Zhizhong has understood market positioning and customer needs clearly Anpu uses AI composition to seize the global environmental music broadcasting market With the system online for over a month, AI has created more than 10,000 pieces of music, serving clients across cafes, car showrooms, restaurants, and hair salons with a "legal, free" broadcasting solution, becoming the first choice for stores Zeng Zhizhong is a serial entrepreneur with a background in both the internet and music He has served as the general manager of Taihe Music Group, director of music services for Microsoft and Nokia in Asia Pacific, founded AR company Emitia Technologies and streaming company Tianlida Technology, and currently operates a company called Ouster Music specializing in film and television soundtracks With a dual background in technology and music, Zeng Zhizhong navigates AI music to solve copyright dilemmas With his sharp senses in technology and music, particularly amidst the ongoing AI boom, Zeng Zhizhong constantly contemplates how to turn AI composition into a profitable business He analyzes examples such as Spotify with 100 million paid subscribers in the USA, 1 million in Taiwan's KK BOX, and the mainland China's IPO-listed QQ Music, all operating at a loss The primary issue lies with these platforms not owning the copyrights to the music they provide, despite offering membership subscriptions They must also pay royalties to record companies and creators, leading to 'the bigger they are, the more they lose' Zeng Zhizhong, with his tech and music background, hopes to carve a niche for AI-generated music In the music industry, there are two main domains ambient music background music, BGM and pop music Pop music involves a lengthy production chain including lyric writing, composition, arrangement, singing, harmonizing, mixing, and finalization, entailing high costs and investment risks Meanwhile, ambient music, used in malls, department stores, cafes, and restaurants, traditionally sees copyrights held by music industry associations in various countries, making acquisitions costly and time-consuming However, producing music in-house circumvents copyright issues Thus, composing with AI and retaining copyrights internally becomes a key to success According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry IFPI report, global music market revenues in 2018 grew by 97 to 191 billion, up from 174 billion in 2017 Streaming music revenue alone reached 89 billion, accounting for 47 of the global total, nearly half Publicly broadcasted music accounted for 10-15, marking a significant portion of the market Recognizing the immense potential of the market, Zeng Zhizhong then assessed the technical capabilities of AI music, candidly stating, "AI is not a cure-all" For concert performances or chart-topping pop music, human lyricists and composers are necessary to achieve desired effects, while AI composition typically handles simple, uncomplicated melodies Assembling a large music database coupled with proprietary AI algorithms for rapid music production Anpu Music's AI composition system utilizes algorithms that include Markov chains, neural networks, deep learning methods, and combines the company's proprietary algorithm MDN Music Deeplearning Network, which conforms to unique musical algorithmic theories, thus breaking through traditional pop music structures and styles to create more market-aligned music compositions The database aggregates a large amount of sheet music data from top charted tracks and renowned songs globally, initially analyzing and summarizing the characteristics and melodies of popular quality music, then employing deep learning for efficient and excellent outcomes in AI composition BGMRADIO公播平台上集結上萬首AI音樂 Anpu provides a clear AI solution for the complex music copyright environment, with a material library owning a vast amount of clear-cut copyrights over 10,000 music tracks in 50 different styles, allowing users to freely choose suitable music to enjoy Anpu's current business model is twofold one provides a web-based platform offering 10,000 free AI-generated music tracks for online listening, and the other involves custom music services for a fee Additionally, responding to the promotional needs of the record industry and artists, it also charges for advertisement playbacks Another revenue model involves renting music players to users, charging an annual rental fee BGMRADIO公播平台與其他公播平台之比較 Zeng Zhizhong states, "Music knows no borders good music doesn't distinguish between being created by humans or AI" With current AI algorithms and related technology being quite mature, using AI to produce music is not a difficult task The key is identifying market pain points for business opportunities Anpu's market spans Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Singapore, and it aims to continue expanding into China's largest market Having founded startups for 20 years in mainland China, Zeng Zhizhong's primary reason for starting a business back home is Taiwan's rich talent pool, especially the interdisciplinary talents Unlike typical AI or music companies, Anpu requires a large number of amphibious talents capable of both programming and music The company comprises two main departments the RampD department, mostly formed from graduates from NTHU and NCTU in electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and applied music, and the music production department, where after quick AI algorithmic composition in the RampD department, highly musically educated producers refine these AI compositions into high-quality music experiences 安譜團隊大多是科技與音樂兼具的跨域人才「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for

A stamp-sized flexible temperature patch became an essential tool for fever monitoring amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, with orders soaring to over 500,000 units in just two months, proving useful for home isolation and medical quarantine iWEECARE, established just five years ago, has created the world's smallest connected smart thermometer, Temp Pal, which offers remote continuous temperature monitoring and alerts iWEECARE has integrated a temperature sensor into a 3-gram, stamp-sized flexible patch, which is stuck under the arm's skin and can continuously monitor temperature between 36 to 48 hours without interruption, transferring temperature data via Bluetooth to a mobile app and cloud backend, displaying real-time temperature changes and setting fever alerts In this epidemic response effort, the rejuvenated hospital, equipped with negative pressure isolation wards, installed a temperature monitoring system Unlike the common forehead or infrared temperature monitoring methods, the hospital uses Temp Pal smart temperature patches developed by iWEECARE, which are only stamp-sized 33 cm, stuck under the patient's skin under the arm, combined with a low-power Bluetooth receiver, allowing continuous monitoring of the patient's temperature, recording every 5 minutes If a case of fever is detected, the system will notify medical staff proactively, enabling them to accurately monitor the patient's condition and handle it promptly, thereby enhancing patient safety care 像郵票一樣大小的體溫貼片 醫院設置即時體溫貼片監控系統 節省超過6萬件防護衣耗損 振興醫院表示,引進監控體溫的即時體溫貼片監控系統,對隔離患者進行24小時體溫監測,醫護人員可以在不進入隔離病房的前提下,事先擷取到病患重要的生理數據,在提昇照護品質同時,醫護人員進出隔離病房的頻率可以減半,1個月即可節省約6萬5千多件防護衣的損耗。 The Temp Pal smart thermometer is not just small and capable of continuous temperature monitoring its biggest feature is the ability to 'actively and continuously monitor multiple people's temperatures,' ideal for group quarantine and mass isolation in hospitals, achieving efficient and thorough results Kang Ying-Cen, the marketing director of iWEECARE, mentioned that initially, the 'Temp Pal wearable smart thermometer' was mainly used in maternity centers or by new parents to continuously measure a baby's temperature, monitoring the temperature trends of newborns and early prevention of potential harm Unlike standard thermometers that measure at singular moments and require manual adjustment every 4-6 hours, the smart thermometer, with its personal and soft design, does not cause any discomfort to the baby and monitors temperature continuously If the temperature deviates from normal values, the mobile app will also sound an alarm to prevent scenarios where the fever could lead to grave consequences 將體溫貼片貼於腋下,36小時監控寶寶的體溫 精準掌握基礎體溫 備孕效果佳 由於連網智慧體溫計蒐集了使用者的體溫趨勢的數據,未來透過AI演算法的導入,對於婦女的排卵期有精準的掌握,一般而言,適孕婦女的「基礎體溫」是指在較長時間的睡眠(約6~8小時)後,尚未進行任何活動前(含起身下床)所測得的體溫,且每天需於相同的時間進行,此為人在一天當中最低的體溫點。在健康的身體狀態之下,溫度曲線會隨著週期間的排卵而產生升高溫的現象,也就是說,即基礎體溫在排卵日當天會升溫,想要懷孕的女性可以藉此作為受孕及避孕的基礎。 現階段除了台灣外,連網智慧體溫計也銷售至東南亞、新加坡、加拿大及歐洲等地區,其中,位於泰國,屬東南亞最大的私人醫院集團在2019年底也開始採用 Temp Pal Group System(添寶群體監測體溫系統),該醫院目前在泰國各城市有 40 家分院。以往體溫正常者平均每 4 小時護理人員要量測病患體溫一次,體溫異常者則每 1 小時需量測一次,而採用 Temp Pal 群體監測體溫系統後,智能體溫貼片每次充電可使用長達 36 小時,每日最高可減少 23 次的體溫量測頻次,估計可節省每日每單位護理人員 25 小時以上的時間。 體溫貼片以藍芽傳輸,透過手機APP傳輸溫度變化 愛微科兩位創辦人為有電池設計專長的曾軍皓及擅長韌體開發的張和逸,一開始對於穿戴式智慧體溫貼片在台灣屬於第二類醫療器材的規定認知有誤,第二類醫材要上市,不光是要取得政府核發許可證,還得通過臨床前測試,而在歐美要通過認證,至少要花一年的時間,日本市場則需要投入兩到三年通過認證,難度更高。未來1-3年內,愛微科仍將持續研發新型的態體溫貼片,以提供更多元服務。 愛微科兩位創辦人「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」
