【2021 Application Example】 Fongyu Uses AI Knowledge-based Fish Farming to Effectively Increase Aquatic Production by 10%

Fisheries is an important industry in an island economy However, the fish farming industry has faced severe challenges in recent years, including climate change, labor shortage, and rising costs In particular, nearly 110,000 workers in agriculture will retire due to old age over the next 10 years For this reason, the need for aquaculture to move towards smart farming is becoming increasingly urgent Founded in 2014, Fongyu Corp Ltd has developed a unique eco-friendly farming model based on its own fish farming It uses AI knowledge-based fish farming to effectively increase aquatic product production by 10, and reduced labor cost by 15 The word "Fongyu" has a profound meaning "Fong" represents good mountains and "Yu" represents good water, and is the hope that companies will allow Taiwan to always have good mountains and good waterIt is also a homophone for "having a full figure," expressing the hope that products will give consumers a full and healthy body and mind The founder of the company, Liu Chien-Shen, has been through the difficult entrepreneurial journey of becoming an apprentice in fish farming, raising funds, renting fish farms, establishing a fish farming company, building a brand, and expanding sales Labor shortage and aging workers are hidden worries in the fish farming industry Currently, fish farms in Taiwan are still mainly traditional fish farms, and farming techniques are still passed down through word-of-mouth In addition, the labor shortage and average age of workers exceeding 60 years old has made it impossible to effectively stably improve productivity and yield This farming method makes it difficult to prevent and control diseases, and greatly increases the possibility of excessive use of drugs, environmental pollution, and water quality and ecological damage, creating a vicious cycle that lowers the quality of fish farming In addition, 651 of workers in Taiwan's fish farming industry are inadequately skilled With limited support from IoT sensors, traditional fish farmers still mainly rely on their own experience and knowledge for water quality management, feeding, and disease detection Fish farming management relies heavily on the ability of individual fishermen Once experienced workers retire, the industry will not only face the issue of succession, but also the difficult of stably supplying a certain amount of harvest that meets quality standards This may cause a dilemma for the entire industry from fish farming to sales In order to improve the pain point of inability to pass on experience in fish farming, and at the same time create a "digital" foundation for fish farming, the top priority must be to collect farming behavior data and develop AI services as an important starting point Fishery digital twin technology helps fishermen transition to smart farming With the assistance of the Institute for Information Technology III, Fongyu implemented the "fishery digital twin" technology to dynamically adjust the farming schedule In other words, the fish farming schedule is adjusted according to the species, habits, and variables of the fish The use of AI in fish farming not only effectively increase aquatic production by 10, but also reduced labor cost by 15 In terms of specific methods, we first digitalized the fish ponds, feed, and decision-making behavior for each species, such as sea bass and Taiwan tilapia, and recorded the seasonal temperature changes from releasing seedlings to harvesting, all of which were digitalized, gradually recording the experience and methods of experienced workers into a rich database Based on the recorded data, we analyzed the compound variables to find the best farming behavior and generate a dynamic farming schedule The records for each pool provide data on workers' experience However, fish farming behavior generally relies on rules of thumb Even experienced fish farmers cannot ensure that they will find the best solution Therefore, new methods are proposed to solve this issue That is, "to determine the best fish farming behavior by predicting the interaction with water quality and past data on feeding, and evaluating fish farming behavior based on water quality and fish farming," and provide fishermen with the most intuitive recommendations through daily schedules To continue optimizing the dynamic fish farming calendar on a rolling basis, iterations of the model will be developed through the three-step cycle 1 Input the current fish farming calendar into the model 2 The model predicts the future environment 3 Shortcomings of the fish farming calendar are corrected based on the future environment to obtain a new version of the fish farming calendar In the process, the experience of aquaculture experts is used to establish the causal relationship between fish farming behavior and the environment The establishment of a dynamic fish farming process and technology-based fish farming recommendation services provide a traceable and detailed fish farming process It is one of the few technologies that can digitalize fish farming Fishermen can quickly and easily record their daily behaviors to build knowledge without taking up too much time, but in the long run it can reduce labor cost by 15 and increase output and revenue by an average of 10 Smart fish farming has achieved outstanding results, reducing labor cost by 15 and increasing output by 10 At the same time, the fish farming calendar can also be extended to different aquatic species, such as white shrimp, milkfish, clams, and Taiwan tilapia, to produce fish farming schedules for ponds with different specifications, and the harvested aquatic species can be traced according to different specifications, establishing vertically integrated services for safe food products Fongyu's main products are divided into two categories One is aquaculture modules, including fry, feed, materials and probiotics, production planning and processes, and monitoring, which can be sold separately or exported as modules The high-quality aquatic products produced by Fongyu have repeatedly won awards Figure Fongyursquos official website The other category is high-quality aquatic products, including seabass fillets, seabass balls, oil-free seabass balls, seabass dumplings, and seabass soup The products have won various awards, including the top ten souvenirs in Pingtung in 2017, "Barramundi Fillet" won the 2017 Eatender of the Council of Agriculture COA, "Oil-Free Barramundi Fillet" won the 2018 Eatender Gold Food Award of the COA, and "Dumplings of Barramundi" and "Barramundi Broth" won the 2019 Eatender of the COA The consecutive awards represent that the "quality" of Fongyursquos aquatic products can be seen and eaten with peace of mind In addition, Fongyu has exclusive fingerlings that meet international needs, such as Pure seawater cultured tilapia fingerlings and seawater Taiwan tilapia fingerlings from selective breeding FY-01 are items that aquaculture companies in many countries are looking forward to The company also has aquaculture modules, disease monitoring tools, and feeding materials designed in accordance with the environment, in order to provide customers with more stable income

【2021 Application Example】 AI Analysis Cloud Service Platform for Remote Sensing Big Data Enables the Smooth Application of Satellite Remote Sensing Images

Although satellite remote sensing images can make all surface objects visible, it still requires a lot of time and manpower to be truly applied to the industry In order to effectively solve the problems that customers face in digesting huge amounts of image data and eliminate technical obstacles for cross-domain users to process satellite remote sensing images, ThinkTron has developed an "AI Analysis Cloud Service Platform for Remote Sensing Big Data" as a new beginning for cross-domain AI applications for spatial information In recent years, in response to the impact of industrial globalization, Taiwan's agriculture has continued to transition towards technology-based and higher quality, improving the yield and quality of crops by solving problems, such as microclimate impacts and pest and disease control The demand of agriculture on images has expanded endlessly to accurately grasp the growing environment of crops In the early years when UAVs unmanned aerial vehicles were not yet popular, manual field surveys were the most basic but most labor-intensive work With the emergence of UAV drones, aerial photography operations might not be difficult, but the range that can be photographed is limited Furthermore, surveying expertise is required to accurately capture spatial information At this time, the use of satellite remote sensing data may break away from the past imagination of using image data Taiwan Space Agency TASA ODC data warehouse services In the past ten years, with the breakthrough of modern satellite remote sensing application technology, Digital Earth has become a new trend in global data collection Countries have developed data cube image storage technology, and the development of smart agriculture has become one of the largest image users Determining planting distribution is the first step in understanding crop yields Free satellite remote sensing images, powerful data warehousing support, and the team's robust image recognition technology are important supports for accelerating agricultural transformation Using satellite remote sensing image data can accelerate the development of smart agriculture However, in the past, it was difficult to extract large-area crop distribution through satellite remote sensing images, not to mention the cost If you wanted to use free information, you had to visit all websites of international space agencies, look through the wide variety of satellite specifications, and carefully evaluate the sensor specifications, image resolution, and revisit cycle After finding suitable images, you had to look at them one by one to filter the ones you need Next is downloading dozens of images that are often several hundreds of Megabytes MB each, which might exceed the capacity of your computer Also, after overcoming image access and preparing data, you must then start to confirm the downloaded image products and which bands you want, because the image you see is not just an image file jpg or png, but rather complex multi-spectral information, attribute fields and coordinate information It takes a lot of effort just to confirm the correct information Facing GIS software packages with complex functions is the start of another trouble The complex image pre-processing process and the inflexible machine learning package greatly reduce the efficiency of analyzing data After finally getting the results of crop identification, you might find that the best time for using map information may have already passed The above-mentioned complex and time-consuming satellite image processing problems are precisely the pain points of the market ThinkTron expanded from traditional machine learning to modern deep learning applications, and developed an "AI Analysis Cloud Service Platform for Remote Sensing Big Data" under the GeoAI framework, breaking through the constraints of details in the spatial information for customers Differences between the process before and after introducing the AI analysis cloud service platform ThinkTron said that Taiwan's ODC Open Data Cube system has been completed and began providing services after years of efforts from the Taiwan Space Agency TASA, formally becoming aligned with international trends The powerful warehousing technology allows users to easily capture and use image data of a specific time and spatial range according to their needs The warehouse stores multiple satellite image resources from international space agencies, including the ESA's Sentinel-1 one image every 6 days, Sentinel-2 one image every 6 days, USGS's Landsat-7 one image every 16 days, Landsat-8 one image every 16 days, and the domestic Formosat-2 one image every day and Formosat-5 one image every 2 days ThinkTron develops satellite image recognition tools based on Python Breaking free from the limitations of GIS Geographic Information System software packages, ThinkTron integrated GDAL Geospatial Data Abstraction Library based on Python, and considered computing efficiency and parallel processing when developing all tools required for satellite image processing and image recognition modeling, including coordinate system and data format conversion, grid and vector data interaction, and data intra-difference and normalization All of the tools are designed with AI applications in mind, and some commonly used tools are packaged into an open source package under the name TronGisPy to benefit the technical community ThinkTron utilized the team's understanding of satellite remote sensing images and the collected tagged data crop distribution maps to preset the image recognition modeling process, the required training data specifications, and dataset definitions This is imported into the machine learning LightGBM or deep learning CNN framework that was completed in advance, and the entire training process to be performed in the Web GIS interface, providing users with partial flexibility to freely filter images, confirm spatial and temporal ranges, select models, and adjust hyperparameters In addition to the operation of training models, it also provides historical models to output identification results, and finally displays the identification results of crop distribution on the Web GIS map In fact, agriculture is not the only industry that needs satellite remote sensing applications AI applications of spatial information have also appeared in various fields as companies in different industries aim to enhance their global competitiveness For example, surveying and mapping companies that have a large amount of map data can use the AI analysis cloud service platform to store map data while also accelerating the efficiency of digital mapping Under the severe global climate change and the risk of strong earthquakes, there is a wide variety industrial insurance, agricultural insurance, financial insurance, or disaster insurance are all inseparable from spatial information The use of remote sensing image recognition to understand insurance targets has long been an international trend AI Analysis Cloud Service Architecture for Remote Sensing Big Data

【2021 Application Example】 HRT Technology Improves Production Efficiency by 20% Through AOI Detection of Defects in VCSEL Packaging

In 2017, the launch of the iPhone X made 3D sensor technology used in Face ID highly popular, which drove the development of VCSEL, a core component in the 3D sensor module In the detection of defects in incoming packaged VCSEL, the use of AI inference models can solve the industry's issue with low yield and improve reliability to 95 VCSEL technology currently can be used in many applications and various end consumer markets, including robots, mobile devices, surveillance, drones, and ARVR VCSELs are a good solution in applications that require high-speed modulation capabilities, such as cameras and biometrics VCSEL technology has a wide range ofnbsp applications, including in drones Pictured Zoyi Technology's Agricultural Drone VCSEL technology has a wide range of applications, AI technology assists in defect detection HRT Technology stated that the packaged VCSEL market is also facing strong price competition from competitors, and needs to further reduce costs and enhance product competitiveness One of the key problems is the replacement of glass lens with epoxy resin lens The production of traditional glass lenses has high yield, but the cost is higher than that of epoxy resin lenses Due to the cutting process of epoxy resin, the side wall of cutting lines can easily have rough edges, causing it to be oversized The release of stress caused by heat during the mounting process will directly cause the optical lens to break HRT Technology pointed out that the incoming inspection of VCSEL epoxy resin lenses is very important Under the constraints of packaging space, the space for fitting the package and optical lens is limited Moreover, the optical lenses will be confined to a metal frame If the dimensional tolerances are properly controlled, stress release due to heat during mounting can easily cause the optical lens to break, resulting in a yield loss of up to 10 in the VCSEL package reliability verification, resulting in an increase in production costs In order to solve the problems above, HRT Technology hopes to use AI to monitor the size and appearance defects of epoxy resin components in the VCSEL epoxy resin lens incoming stage, verifying whether their dimensions meet specifications, whether the cutting edges are smooth, and whether there are any defects in their appearance Since traditional incoming material inspection requires a rough visual inspection by humans to distinguish the quality The problem of image collection needs to be solved first to successfully collect image data Therefore, HRT Technology first developed an Automated Optical Inspection AOI device, which includes X, Y, Z three-axis motion, high-resolution cameras, and related control software to automatically record images After collecting the image data, opencv aligns the test image and a normal image to determine differences between the two images, and then pixel mapping is used to compare the pixel area to complete initial screening Manual labeling is carried out according to the image classification above, including samples that are normal, have defects in appearance, or have different shape characteristics, and then algorithm training and verification is carried out Residual neural network ResNet or other related algorithms are used for deep learning to identify the quality of lenses Implementation of AOI inspection improves production efficiency by 20 and above Comparing the differences before and after the implementation of AI image inspection, the incoming VCSEL lens inspection before implementation only involved manual inspection of the appearance The lens is packaged on the VCSEL package that has completed die bonding After passing the general light up test, the final reliability test high temperature reflow is performed Failed samples go into the rework process However, after the implementation of AOI inspection, it can screen defective lenses sooner and reduce the cost of subsequent materials input, it can also reduce the need for rework due to failure, improving yield to 95 and above in the reliability verification This is expected to help companies reduce production costs by 10 and increase production efficiency by 20 and above The difference before and after implementing AI image detection HRT Technology pointed out that this technology is an AI application developed based on tiny images It uses deep learning algorithms to identify defects in the images The trained network automatically classifies image data to predetermined categories Defect categories can be determined through reference images, so cumbersome programming is not required In the industrial machine vision environment, deep learning is mainly used for classification tasks in applications, such as inspection of industrial products or identification of parts In the future, with the development of IoT wearable devices and the trend of energy saving, the size of optoelectronic components will continue to shrink This technology can be applied to the detection of defects in the appearance of other tiny optoelectronic components in the future

【2021 Application Example】 AI Complements the Disruption of Traditional Industry Experience: Production Forecast Analysis in Plastic Recycling Process

As the number of veteran craftsmen in traditional industries diminishes In Taiwan, SMEs have always played a central role in Taiwan's industry, accompanying Taiwan through various 'economic miracles' periods But as time progresses, the old masters gradually became elderly craftsmen Coupled with the phenomenon of fewer children and changes in the overall industrial structure, fewer and fewer of the new generation are willing to enter traditional industries Now, it can be observed that the main combination on most SMEs' operational fields is formed by 'elder craftsmen' together with 'foreign workers' These experienced craftsmen, who act as living dictionaries of field experience, suffer from a lack of successors to continue the tradition, leading to a growing difficulty in sustaining on-site experience transfer in traditional industries The limits of traditional hands-on process optimization are in sight Located in Tainan Baoan Industrial District, 'Tangxian Company' was established in 1972, initially manufacturing high-quality weaving equipment It possesses the capability to manufacture machinery, and in recent years it has actively developed environmentally friendly plastic recycling equipment in response to international green energy, recycling, and environmental protection demands Ultimately, they have successfully developed low energy consumption, low waste, high purity, and high output recycling granulators with a sleek and efficient machine design supplemented by advanced intelligent control technology Tangxian Company's self-developed plastic recycling granulator equipment However, in the production process of plastic recycling, when faced with hundreds of material types and dozens of process temperatures, speed settings, what is faced is thousands of possible parameter combinations Previously, the adjustment of various production process conditions was reliant on the on-site staff the experience of the craftsmen Thus, during the transition of production of different incoming materials such as PET, PP, PE, a significant amount of raw materials would be wasted during the trial phase The professional information gap in traditional industries Tangxian Company recognizes the importance of data In the past, although process parameters were recorded, due to a lack of data capabilities at the time, it was primarily in paper form, manually written down by the operating staff, accumulating a large amount of paper data However, this also meant a lack of scientifically accurate and detailed information available for real-time reference and adjustment Process parameters logbook, records the state of about a dozen machines and production figures hourly In quality control as well, due to a lack of control over the quality of output and monitoring and feedback mechanisms for unit time production, it becomes difficult to predict the profit conditions of each batch Production management can only estimate and average cost and productivity changes over the process from the outcomes, without being able to objectively and timely restore the production conditions to reasonableness or make clearer adjustments when facing quality abnormalities Site reality left image shows recycled scraps right image shows pellet production Taiwanese manufacturers possess strong machinery manufacturing capabilities, and many modern machines now have data capabilities, recording real-time status and information via IoT But is the infrastructure of the factory's on-site and information systems ready yet When the Old Master Meets AI With government referral, Tangxian Company partnered with a Taiwanese data science company, working together to integrate AI services and optimize internal processes using AI They started with a medium-sized plastic recycling production line within the factory as a trial field After establishing a successful benchmark, this model was expanded to larger plastic recycling machinery within the factory to continue verification and application Initially, both parties converted the past handwritten paper data into digital format using OCR supplemented by manual correction Tangxian Company also worked with the supplier of the human-machine interface of the machinery to integrate the control panel and parameter data into the factory's database, allowing real-time monitoring of machine status and eliminating the complexities and potential errors of manual transcription Panel of plastic recycling granulation machine, showing current process temperatures, speeds, and power usage Meanwhile, the Taiwanese data science company further modeled dozens of parameter data through AI, conducting scenario analysis to simulate various production possibilities under environmental parameters and material inputs, identifying key characteristic parameters and providing parameter adjustment recommendations to decrease costs during the trial phase Applying data analysis to traditional industry machinery processes After the old master receives the raw materials, they only need to enter the relevant material characteristic parameters, and the system automatically generates recommended process parameters After small adjustments by the old master, they proceed with the trial production of the material, effectively reducing the waste of materials, water, electricity, and manpower caused by incorrect attempts Moreover, Tangxian Company has proactively deployed the concept of 'production pedigree' in the plastic recycling process, allowing the batch's raw materials and process parameters to be accessed by scanning a QRCode Production and sales pedigree of plastic recycling pelletizing Taiwan's SMEs have strong machinery capabilities, just waiting for the 'east wind' of data From industrial revolutions 20 to 30, even 40, many Taiwanese SMEs face challenges in transitions not just in upgrading machinery, but after investing in modern equipment and generating data, they do not know how to utilize it effectively It is impractical for these manufacturers to develop a specialized data analysis department on their own meanwhile, Taiwan also has many innovative teams with strong software capabilities in AI and data analysis, possessing the technology but lacking the field and data Therefore, if the traditional industries of Taiwan could be fully integrated with the innovative teams in AI and data analysis, it would not only address the current challenges of manpower and experience transfer faced by traditional industries but also advance Taiwan's development and application of AI significantly「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」

【2020 Application Example】 Through smart sensing technology, effectively reducing the misjudgment rate of business email fraud by over 50%, safeguarding corporate finances!

Business email fraud causes over ten billion USD in losses annually Business Email Compromise BEC has become a global threat, causing losses of over ten billion dollars every year Criminal organizations target victim companies in various ways, infiltrating and lurking over long periods to steal information, eventually orchestrating scams to induce victims to make payments or transact with the wrong parties In such crimes, key fraudulent emails often appear indistinguishable from ordinary business or personal correspondence because they match business contexts and daily transaction behaviors BEC messages may not even contain URLs or attachments that could be detected by technical security measures, rendering antivirus and click-prevention strategies ineffective With email fraud being rampant, effective prevention of such threats has become a top priority A domestic biomedical manufacturer, one of the government's five major innovation industries and a recipient of the 13th Startup Business Award from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, features high innovation and high risk in the biotechnology sector Handling sensitive information related to new drugs, experimental materials, or market development, and even confidential personal data tied to medical and clinical trials, the company faces substantial threats from BEC scams They hope to leverage AI's interpretation capabilities for more accurate and comprehensive alerts against malicious emails, ultimately enhancing productivity and avoiding scams Utilizing AI recognition to preemptively deter threatening emails, effectively boosting corporate productivity 'Artificial Intelligence-assisted BEC transaction intent perception' is a feature developed by NetzEngine Information Software Co, Ltd and Dupont Digital Security Ltd, capable of identifying emails with transactional intents and incorporating them into NetzEngine's MailGates email behavior analysis module to detect threatening messages and improve the detection accuracy of suspicious threat emails This case uses two functionalities from the aforementioned AI technologies, 'Email Fraud Protection by Mail Header Security Policy' and 'Email Fraud Protection by Email Behavior Analysis Policy' Openfind MailGates' 'Mail Header Security Policy' feature In MailGates' 'Email Fraud Protection' features, the 'Mail Header Security Policy' can be adjusted For example, all emails from hotmailcom must have a correct From header, but the Reply-to header will be blank, this is the correct format for Hotmail emails, the same applies to Gmail If the email comes from another source, however, it should adhere to the filtering rules recommended by MailGates Both From and Reply-to should come from the correct and same domain, otherwise, it is likely to be a fraudulent message The third rule in the image represents all emails from openfindcomtw should use the aforementioned default rules for inspection If an email does not comply with the Mail Header Security Policy as per this setup, users will receive a 'Email Fraud Warning' notification on the subject line, helping to prevent BEC email fraud Openfind MailGates' 'Email Behavior Analysis Policy' feature, can set 'Protection Level' Openfind MailGates' 'Email Behavior Analysis Policy' feature, can set 'Operational Actions' In MailGates' 'Email Fraud Protection' feature, the 'Email Behavior Analysis Policy' can be applied as needed This feature's design and settings might seem complex for average users, who could opt for the 'Intelligent Detection' method instead, simply choosing among 'Loose, Standard, Strict' levels The system will determine the actual settings for these levels based on recently collected feedback data More skilled managers can use the 'Custom' mode, to set all behavior analysis functionalities in detail For example, by listing commonly impersonated domain names under 'Similar External Domains', the system will automatically consider similar but unequal domains, intended to impersonate and deceive users, as higher threat sources This feature allows users to set alerts for such emails, including using title and content warnings, and through behavior analysis, if the system deems the email likely to be a BEC fraud, it will clearly prompt users to be vigilant 'Email Fraud Protection by Mail Header Security Policy' and 'Email Fraud Protection by Email Behavior Analysis Policy' are actually planned and designed functionalities incorporated into the MailGates email protection system, combined with the aforementioned

【導入案例】「農業智慧化暨大數據應用平台」,有效降低肥料施用量50
【2020 Application Example】 "Intelligent Agriculture and Big Data Application Platform" effectively reduces fertilizer use by 50%!

Life is tough for lettuce village farmers who are at the mercy of the elements Global market trends are volatile In terms of agriculture, it must compete with cities for land and water, and also face other crises, such as mitigating climate change and protecting natural habitats In particular, climate change makes it more difficult for farmers to plan cultivation in traditional ways For organic lettuce exporters, they have to overcome problems such as climate and pests to ensure that the lettuce can meet the standards of overseas customers This is an issue that the industry is facing Difficulties and needs of Taiwan Lettuce Village Although Taiwan Lettuce Village currently uses an internationally certified standard process GGAP for cultivation, and also uses the "Intelligent Agriculture Management System" developed by Info-Link Services for cultivation management, it still faces the dilemma of not being able to control crop yields and quality due to climate abnormalities Efforts to solve pests and production problems in recent years not only consumes labor, but also doubled the use of pesticides However, using cultivation and production models of the past will cause the industry to stagnate or even face elimination Therefore, it hopes to add value through AI, and make the lettuce village can be more information-based, intelligent, analytical, and predictive in cultivation, so as to expand the industryrsquos exports and diversify the industry's development in the future Current Demand of the Lettuce Village The agriculture industry in Taiwan Lettuce Village currently only implements "information management" Even though it has the concept of data application, there are no implementation methods and direction, and fields are still manually inspected and the dosage of pesticides is determined based on experience Since crop production varies due to environmental factors each season, the accumulated temperature conditions required for lettuce growth can be estimated by comparing crop yield and harvest date based on historical meteorological data, thereby establishing an accumulated temperature calculation module to estimate the cultivation schedule, allows the system to automatically analyze and make prediction based on the current temperature and humidity of the overall environment During the crop harvesting period, it assists field personnel in optimizing their work, reducing the need for daily inspections to determine when to schedule the next task Agricultural information system AI allows lettuce to grow smoothly "The stability of the cultivation environment" plays an important role in the growth process of crops Understanding the growing conditions of crops can greatly increase production and maintain a certain level of quality Combined with "smart equipment in the field" and "linebot," field management can be carried out and warnings can be received at any time, allowing managers to respond quickly to reduce potential losses, and assist in disease prevention, growth period, and harvest prediction It can be further integrated with data from the Central Weather Administration to establish a "cultivation database," and conduct agricultural analysis through data collection, such as fertilizer dosage planning, analysis of lettuce growth days in different months, analysis of the quality and weight of lettuce output based on temperature, and even disease prevention predictions Comparison of differences before and after digitization Compiled the cultivation data collected by the Lettuce Village from field equipment and external data , such as temperature, humidity, sunlight, and farmland fertility, and applied the data in four aspects, including 1 establishing crop progress and growth obstacle information, analyzing the temperature ranges that are suitable for growth and hinder growth, importing open data real-time and future weather forecast data to establish forecast standards, and using

introduce medium and large-scale AI projects Open Source Intelligent Manufacturing’s customized solution for the legal industry is the development of a “food advertising text recognition and analysis” tool A medium-sized law firm wants to help clients solve the problem of "identifying food advertising violations" According to statistics, there are more than 4,000 cases of advertising violations in the food industry every month The traditional method is to assign 2-3 lawyers to search for exaggerations or claims of efficacy in food advertisements published by major media The cost of each lawyer is calculated at NT5,000-10,000, which means the overall cost is considerable However, by collecting relevant information through the crawler system, and then importing AI technologies such as natural algorithm NLP to develop food advertising text recognition and analysis tools, the recognition rate can reach 90, which can also greatly reduce personnel costs In addition, Kaiyuan Intelligent Manufacturing has successfully applied face recognition to applications such as smart tourism and smart door locks, achieving an accuracy of 95 It has also used graphic recognition to help digital advertisers achieve the function of AI image removal , reducing the time designers spend on repetitive memorization by more than 80 It is worth mentioning that for designers, it often took 2 hours to memorize photos in the past Using the AI model, 1,000 photos can be memorized in 10 seconds, which is amazingly efficient This means that designers do not need to spend too much time memorizing photos, and can use their time to come up with creative ideas When photos are needed, they can use AI technology to quickly memorize them for ordinary consumers, when making presentations When designing PPT, you can also use photos that have been reversed to speed up the presentation production time In the future, it will also be connected to Google Flickr's personal photo album or image search, so that you can directly memorize the required photos and complete the task in one go At this stage, the open source intelligent manufacturing project is cooperating with APP manufacturers to remove the photos and create a free website to benefit more people working in the design industry Open Source Intelligent Manufacturing develops an AI model for hair back removal, the effect is

【2020 Application Example】 AI data analysis platform for enterprise patent monitoring, complete patent analysis and development trends with one click!

How to efficiently analyze the massive growth of patent information and tap potential value Patents are a valuable source of technology, market and competitive information However, the total number of published patent documents has reached 120 million, with 63 million new ones added last year alone How can we make these massive patent documents available for our own use Patent analysis provides an indispensable and practical way to fully tap the value of patent information Through patent analysis, you can understand the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities of your own and your competitors' respective patent portfolios, as well as global patent application trends, technology panorama, and possible blank areas However, patent analysis requires a thorough understanding of the underlying data, including the usage and purpose of the data, as well as the problems that can be solved, etc How to effectively use and analyze massive information is the most troublesome problem Unstructured data types can only be read and organized manually, which is very annoying "Patent specification" is a legally binding document that combines legal and scientific terms It is unstructured data In the past, various search and analysis methods were manually read and organized, which was time-consuming and time-consuming It often happens that we are unable to keep up with the litigation schedule When assisting enterprises in patent layout, they often face the difficulty of quantifying the degree of litigation risks faced by competitors and customers, as well as the quality and value of patents This results in the inability of a domestic enterprise intellectual property management company to further expand its business scope and to promote the outside world Knowledge of patented value-added applications In recent years, enterprise intellectual property management companies have also begun to assist RD personnel in enterprises to master important technologies and patent competition intelligence that will affect the future development of the industry in advance, allowing relevant personnel to more calmly carry out patent layout and improve patent quality and value However, most of the business scope is in the agency of patent software, such as Intellectual Property Operation Management Information System IPServ, which mainly assists companies or individuals in managing intellectual property rights, but currently does not provide "patent monitoring" data analysis for companies or individuals services Intellectual Property Operation Management Information System IPServ These patent software include patent retrieval, management and maintenance, etc Whether patent big data can successfully assist companies in understanding market conditions, patent value, litigation threats and monitoring competitors' illegal infringements all depends on the acquisition of patent data However, cleaning patent data is very time-consuming, so it has always been a headache It was not until Taiwan Data Science Co, Ltd developed the "AI Data Analysis Platform for Enterprise Patent Monitoring" that the light finally appeared Traditional patent analysis is time-consuming and time-consuming Instead, use the "AI Data Analysis Platform for Enterprise Patent Monitoring" to get it done with one click The idea of "AI Data Analysis Platform for Enterprise Patent Monitoring" is to use discriminating influencing factors such as "patent code" and "company industry type" in patent application cases, through big data analysis, and Add relevant news information, and then use machine learning to assist experts through AI to analyze the current market situation, avoid the threat of lawsuits, and monitor competitors' illegal infringements These finally extracted factors will also affect the performance of individual stocks For this, according to different corporate attributes and development directions, "customized big data analysis" can be used to enhance the strategic position of the company It is hoped that the search through the platform can quickly allow companies to understand the patent layout of competitors when adding new product lines to avoid infringement or when manufacturers are looking for partners, they can also filter from companies with advanced RD and This platform serves as a great tool for co-opetition relationships System operation flow chart Traditionally, patent analysis is time-consuming and requires manual searching of patents and reading patent information to produce a patent analysis report Now, through the "Enterprise Patent Monitoring Data Analysis Platform", users can enter After systematic analysis of the company names of your own company and that of your competitors in a certain year, you can quickly know the technical layout, change trend monitoring and other results of that year and among companies, saving work time and manpower For example, if you want to know the current development status of related technologies in physics, chemistry, and electricity on the market, you can analyze the IPC patent numbers and check which companies have clusters of patents, so as to determine whether the clustered patents are relevant Technology or interdependent technology, understand the similarities in patent layout and industry trends between companies, shorten decision-making time, preemptively lay out or make patent avoidance designs Using artificial intelligence to improve traditional manual patent search operations to improve work efficiency, the "Patent Monitoring Platform" helps patent analysts more easily understand the current status of patent development in specific technical fields to predict future technology research and development directions "Patent layout" is when an enterprise builds a strict protection network for its patent portfolio by integrating market, industry, legal and other factors to form a favorable research and development direction and reduce the risk of infringement A rigorous patent layout can help companies avoid landmines in strategic planning and avoid unnecessary litigation or they can expand the scope of protection of their own technology by applying for patents and purchasing patents first To achieve this goal, The key is to identify trends ahead of peers by analyzing a large amount of patent information Taking the product line people flow information flow antenna developed by our company as an example, the patent monitoring platform can achieve the above goals based on the patent portfolio of the product People flow information flow antenna product picture In the future, text mining Text Mining will be conducted on the titles and abstracts of patent document contents Manual assistance was provided in the early stage, and machine learning was adopted in the later stage to establish a "patent thesaurus automatic word segmentation system" Use this word segmentation system to segment titles and abstracts, and calculate word frequency TF and inverted document frequency IDF Through statistical methods such as correlation numbers, the characteristics of patent documents are extracted to find related words with strong correlation between patents Improve the similarity of exploration patents and better understand the risks of patent litigation Collaborate with patent industry players to create a more convenient "Enterprise Patent Monitoring AI Data Analysis Platform" By querying the "Platform Network Diagram" of the "Enterprise Patent Monitoring AI Data Analysis Platform", a company or firm can quickly see which patents its related industry companies are laying out As for "patents", each company can consider whether to apply for all its own research and development, or directly purchase a separate patent license from an industry leader For "company products", when it comes to commercialization, different strategies can be adopted in response to the changes of the times They may have been enemies in the past few years, but with the differences in product development, they are allies today The patent monitoring platform displays the network diagram of Largan Optoelectronics and its related industries in 2009 In the "Company Cross Comparison" function query, you can select multiple years at a time For comparison companies that are highly similar to major companies, you can learn from the annual changes whether the two parties have developed too similar patents, which will make the two companies Being in the middle of a storm of high-risk infringement When there is more data in the database, the "patent risk rate" can be further calculated, allowing users who are accustomed to reading numbers or charts to quickly understand each other and themselves from another perspective Even if more parameters are added in the future, the "amount of infringement" can be estimated However, to obtain the parameter content, it is necessary to cooperate with the patent industry to create a more convenient patent risk monitoring platform Trends of similarity indicators between TSMC, Huaya Technology and Powerchip Technology

【解決方案】AI助攻,AOI檢測漏檢率達01 超過人工10倍
【2020 Solutions】 AI Enhancements, AOI Inspection Miss Rate at 0.1% Surpasses Manual Effort by 10 Times

Did you know a single golf ball can have up to 28 defect inspections Manually, one can inspect 500 balls in an hour, but with AI, up to 6,000 balls can be inspected in the same time Huiwen Technology has developed AOI Automated Optical Inspection technology that achieves a miss rate of 01, which is ten times better than human inspection Besides the golf ball industry, Huiwen Technology's AOI inspections are also being introduced to the textile industry and others Geng Cheng Lin, the founder and general manager of Huiwen Technology, has been an expert in artificial intelligence AI since 2013, recognizing the future potential and explosive power of deep learning DL and AI-based image recognition AOI has always been a strong demand in the manufacturing industry, mainly to improve product quality for business owners, stabilize the quality of delivered goods, and use data from AOI inspections to improve processes, thus creating a virtuous cycle and further cost reductions Due to uncontrollable factors such as human eye fatigue and inconsistent standards, inspection encounters bottlenecks The limit of human inspection miss rate after training is about 1-2, and the situation worsens over time AOI is a stable and capable of mass inspection device, achieving a miss rate of 01, which is ten times that of human eyes, implying a detection rate of 999 Of course, AOI also results in a 5-10 over-inspection rate, which can be further screened manually With the help of AOI, the burden of quality inspection is reduced, saving a considerable amount of labor time AOI Golf Ball Defect Inspection, Inspection Capacity Increased 12 Times per Hour The first litmus test of Huiwen Technology's AOI technology was on golf balls With their highly reflective, uneven surfaces, golf balls were previously inspected manually for defects A tiny golf ball can have up to 28 defects, and traditionally, only 500 balls could be inspected per hour A major domestic golf ball manufacturer, meeting the demands of Japanese customers, introduced AOI inspection two years ago The high-speed, high-precision AOI system combined with AI deep learning image recognition technology conducts defect detection on golf ball surfaces, fully automates the feeding and outfeed process, replacing manual recognition of missed defects, and can immediately record defect conditions and report back, inspecting up to 200,000 packs of golf balls per year per machine, greatly enhancing customer satisfaction However, this step took Huiwen Technology more than two years Golf Ball AOI Recognition Image Golf Ball AOI Recognition, 28 Surface Defects Unveiled Lin Geng Cheng says, from data assessment and consulting, followed by data organization and tagging, selecting and verifying AI algorithms to AI training services, the golf ball data is like starting from zero, accumulating one by one Thankfully, with full support from golf ball manufacturers, the efforts have finally bore fruit With AI inspection, while manually one might inspect 500 balls in an hour, AI can handle 6,000, achieving effectiveness 12 times greater Unlike other companies, Lin believes that AI needs to delve deep into domains to scrape professional data since only with such domain data can AI perform well Therefore, the company starts from individual projects, rather than setting an AI product from the beginning Without quality data or a focused domain, the best algorithms cannot succeed in AI Over the years, Huiwen Technology has accumulated project experience, gradually developing products while focusing on domain data and providing the latest AI algorithms to customers, growing together, creating a tighter collaboration, which is why, different from external fundraising, Huiwen's investors are customers or partners Evaluation to Official Launch AI Introduction Requires Six Phases The projects undertaken by Huiwen Technology are divided into several phases 1 Evaluation period, 2 Initial Validation POC period, 3 Data Collection period, 4 Repeated Verification period, 5 AI Positive Cycle period, 6 Official Launch The evaluation period involves understanding and assessing the Domain conditions of the demand side beforehand, followed by POC verification, extensive data collection after POC, entering repeated verification stage, and finally allowing AI to enter a positive cycle phase, achieving a certain level of effectiveness before the official launch Generally, a project takes about six months to a year to develop However, with more familiar PCB AOI projects, the first two stages are skipped, starting from data collection, thus significantly reducing the time 'Regardless of this project or others, common questions from customers are 'How much data is enough When will AI learn' Facing such questions, Lin points out that the reasons for these questions are 1 The inexplicability of deep learning technology, as it is a black box 2 Generally, customers lack the concept of AI technology Thus, the company must patiently verify data repeatedly, identify the data needed by AI, accumulate and test it, and clarify and resolve all Domain conditions, which requires a lot of time and patience During the AI introduction process, customers have high expectations of integrating AI services, thinking that it can immediately replace human labor Lin points out that this is not the case the real value of AI lies in accumulating large volumes of high-quality data, which is then transformed and analyzed to establish AI training and verification models to fully address problems generated by manual processes Apart from inspecting golf balls, Huiwen Technology is currently targeting the textile industry for items such as fabric and shoelaces, and many industries have conducted POC trials through Huiwen, including the semiconductor industry, PCB industry, and other traditional industries AOI Fabric Defect Detection, Top Image Shows Before AOI Inspection, Bottom Image Shows After AOI Inspection Lin Geng Cheng indicates that the most difficult aspect of entrepreneurship is nurturing talent and customer recognition customers often demand quick results, not realizing that AI adoption requires data accumulation and repeated verification, processes that cannot show results in less than six months Affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the trend of globalization and centralization of the manufacturing supply chain has been disrupted, replaced by 'short region' supply chains, suggesting small, beautiful factories will flourish everywhere, potentially bringing new opportunities for AOI Lin notes that high automation indeed offers opportunities for automatic inspection AI, however, relatively high capital investments, including automation equipment, mainframes, GPUs, and sufficient AI maintenance talents, are burdens that small and medium enterprises or small factories cannot bear, requiring government financial resources and input to facilitate smooth transformation「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for reference only Translation date:2024-05-19」

【導入案例】「中小企業AI職能評鑑系統」,大幅降低企業職能導入成本
【2020 Application Example】 Small and Medium Enterprises AI Competency Evaluation System, Significantly Reducing the Cost of Competency Implementation for Businesses!

IBM's supercomputer Watson can predict when employees are likely to resign, with an accuracy rate of 95, saving IBM up to 300 million a year in retaining employees Moreover, through cloud computing services and modernization, IBM has streamlined 30 of personnel costs, allowing the remaining employees to earn higher salaries and engage in more valuable work So, in Taiwan, how can we ensure that 'employees who stay can receive higher salaries and perform more valuable work' The key lies in the 'competence setting' for each position According to the 'iCAP Competency Development Application Platform' established by the Ministry of Labor's Workforce Development Agency, every position has its main responsibilities, work tasks, behavioral indicators, work outputs, knowledge, skills, and attitudes Only by establishing 'competency' for each position can enterprises effectively apply this in employee recruitment, education and training, and performance management Without this, not knowing what employees should do is like groping in the dark, which can pose risks to business operations Competency Benchmark Example Currently, on the 'iCAP Competency Development Application Platform', there are 872 established competency benchmarks, including 553 items completed by various ministries This includes 253 items from the Ministry of Labor and 66 items from the Ministry of Education If companies want to establish their own 'competency benchmarks', they need to search for reference materials on the 'iCAP Competency Development Application Platform' Suppose a company wants to recruit 'sales' personnel but doesn't know what 'sales personnel' should do they should first search for 'sales personnel' as shown in the figure below Searching for 'sales' on the 'iCAP Competency Development Application Platform' You can find that there are 18 types of sales personnel At this point, the company needs to go through each one, check, read, and organize into the 'competency benchmarks' they need however, if we search what should be a common position in any company, 'general affairs', the result is unexpectedly zero items Searching for 'general affairs' on the 'iCAP Competency Development Application Platform' As seen above, although the 'iCAP Competency Development Application Platform' established by the Ministry of Labor's Workforce Development Agency can solve some of the 'competency benchmarks' for positions, the division of labor within each company is different, and some positions might not be found on the 'iCAP Competency Development Application Platform' Secondly, in small and medium enterprises, there are often 'multi-skilled workers', meaning many job responsibilities are on a single employee For example, in small enterprises with less than 30 people, usually, accounting, general affairs, and HR are handled by the same person If you want to establish competency benchmarks for this person, you have to search separately for 'accounting', 'general affairs', and 'HR', and then integrate these three types of job competencies, which is often time-consuming and ineffective This 'Small and Medium Enterprises AI Competency Evaluation System' aims to let 'people fully utilize their capabilities', by introducing AI to more accurately establish basic competency standards for employees, and to track their competency performance at any time Competency models are all generated and adjusted manually, which is time-consuming A domestic exporter of screws, nuts, fasteners, etc, had all its competency models generated and adjusted manually The execution process was time-consuming and insufficient to meet company needs due to personnel changes, such as previously, Qiao Mai Enterprise had specialized 'production control personnel', but after this personnel resigned, this job had to be done by other employees, meaning other employees' competency models needed to be adjusted immediately Or if the company needed to set up a development department due to future development, but previously no one had relevant experience, not only did they not know how to select from within, but also did not understand how to describe on a recruitment website to find the talent they really wanted Besides, the CEO of this company has always been troubled by internal performance management Due to the lack of precise standards and systems to measure employee performance, the results of each performance assessment did not accurately reflect the true performance of the employees, forming assessment blind spots and unable to identify truly deserving employees Thus, it is hoped that with the AI competency evaluation system, the necessary competencies for the development department can be immediately clarified, as well as how recruitment and performance appraisals should be conducted, so as to effectively solve the pain of unclear responsibilities and inaccurate assessments within the company Thus, its benefits are significant AI Competency System Establishment X Deep Learning This 4-month HR field competency system project has a clear execution direction, but the introduction of explanatory models such as Seq2Seq, Deep Keyphrase Generation, Tf-IDF keyword extraction algorithms, and PageRank are new attempts in the HR field During the process, open-source big data architecture is used for natural language processing to complete Word2Vector and index, and inverted index to establish keyword weight and relevance Due to the inability to process like image data with continuous numbers, it is necessary to simplify the feature values with related keywords such as skills, knowledge, and job categories Basic steps are briefly described as follows 1 Establish a Propagation model using Google's long-used LTR mixed Pointwise recommendation engine 2 months 2 Establish a Back Propagation model 2 months, adjust the hyperparameters of the loss function 3 Adjust the hyperparameters of the CF model 4 Establish a human-machine collaboration mechanism to obtain more data to feed the Model 5 Repeat the above steps During the development process of the competency model, Lianhe Trend Co, Ltd and Weiguang International Information Co, Ltd held multiple discussions, believing that there are interconnections between competencies After establishing the knowledge graph, further upload the competency scale to the Neo4j graph database for processing complex relational data structures with excellent performance Currently, 500 competency scales have been uploaded to the Neo4j relationship analysis platform Using python for wor2vector natural language analysis In addition to describing a position with a tensor after word2vector, finding out the appearance of this position's knowledge graph, according to this knowledge graph, one can understand the relevance between different positions and the similarity performance of their dimensions Finally, this knowledge graph is used to establish the company's 'competency model' and train it with deep learning AI Competency Evaluation System Interface In the future, in addition to establishing their own competency models, companies can also be opened to end-users Individuals can analyze their own competency performance to understand their possibilities for job change and their market value, as well as identify skills needing enhancement If companies respond to this knowledge graph, they can develop cross-industry products in the future 1 Short-term Analyze the competency scales iCAP, iPAS published by the government with natural language and keyword models, and cooperate with unsupervised learning to establish 'Native Competency Base Unit Models' 2 Medium-term Tailor-made exclusive competency models for enterprises Based on the existing 'Native Competency Base Unit Models', experts use supervised learning to train the individual company's 'Distributed Derivative Competency Models' 3 Long-term Establish 'Reinforcement Learning' models, incorporating employee career cognition and planning Competency model recommendations, comparable to professional human resource consultants Through the dynamic learning of the competency knowledge graph through unsupervised learning, individual companies' competency models are quickly established Internal human resources personnel or external professional HR consultants can then use the generated competency models to assess and apply aspects of talent recruitment, competency inventory, performance management, and education and training The system will automatically suggest competencies to be strengthened according to the company's existing job structure, including related knowledge, skills, and attitudes Through the continuous introduction and training of data, the system learns the employer's actual view of the model for that profession and feeds back to the cloud competency scale, completing the dynamic learning of the knowledge graph through transfer learning In the future, it can be comparable to professional HR consultants, thereby rapidly assisting many cross-disciplinary or technologically diverse companies in training employee competencies「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

【2020 Solutions】 Driving AI with Chips, Fansi Data Multiplies Computing Power at Low Cost

A tiny chip capable of driving AI algorithm speeds by nearly a hundredfold, Fansi Data's team is dedicated to software and hardware integration, providing industries including finance, smart healthcare, and smart manufacturing with a cost-effective, high-efficiency way of introducing AI and rapidly undergoing digital transformation In recent years, artificial intelligence has been highly prominent however, practical applications have been limited by high costs The enhancement of 'computing power' is crucial for breaking through the bottlenecks in AI applications Fansi Data's 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 risky credit card transactions and provide responses in a very short time, enhancing the security and smoothness of online transactions In the AI credit card risk control system, AI acceleration is also used through software integration Transactions are prevalent, and fraud is common, similar to regulatory technology domains By establishing an AI model, risky credit card transactions can be effectively identified, and responses given in a very short time, enhancing the security and smoothness of online transactions This includes financial transactions and credit card risk identification, all through chip-based transaction data analysis and risk management system direct acceleration calculations Financial transaction information acceleration solution Currently, many financial companies have their own IT departments, including data scientists, big data analysts, and AI algorithm engineers What is Fansi Data's advantage in the financial sector Zheng Zongyi points out that the IT departments in the financial industry are more 'users' of IT, not 'developers' of IT Moreover, understanding IC design involves high costs, and the financial industry does not need to maintain their IC design team The specialization is very clear, as Fansi simply develops models for the financial industry to adopt Considering personal privacy and data security, financial data is sensitive and often not easily accessible Fansi Data, by joining the financial technology innovation park FinTechSpace and with the assistance of the Institute for Information Industry, applies for the real-time transaction data and corporate annual financial statements, historical trading data provided by the digital sandbox, using it to group data, analyze, model, backtest, and propose AI risk warnings and other solutions for abnormal transactions and risk management Besides financial technology, Fansi Data also focuses on AI applications in smart manufacturing, such as developing smart image meter reading through image recognition methods, which can help businesses reduce equipment replacement costs and achieve higher accuracy In the process of customized chip design, data analysis, and softwarehardware integration, Fansi Data encounters difficulties in data and talent acquisition At this stage, through interfacing with the digital sandbox and utilizing resources provided by the financial technology innovation park, AI models are built regarding talent, a lean core team is established, continuously accumulating experience and building a robust entrepreneurial culture to face the ever-growing market demands From left to right Co-founder Zheng Zongyi, General Manager Liao Yanchin, and Chip Design Director Liu Wenkai「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for

【2020 Application Example】 Automatic fruit screening system: A solution that uses neural networks, AI, and automation to improve fruit screening efficiency by 10 times, increase output value by NT$1.7 billion, and significantly improve quality with 93% accuracy

Taiwan is located in the subtropics and has a diverse geographic environment that is very suitable for growing fruit Bananas and pineapples were once extremely popular export commodities that we are proud of However, farmers in consuming countries gradually obtained the excellent seeds of Taiwanrsquos fruits, and were able to grow the same quality fruit but at a more affordable price, causing our fruit exports to face a major crisis At present, although Taiwan's fruits such as mango and guava still have certain competitive advantages, if they fail to make further progress compared with other countries, they will still encounter the same problem over time and cannot be ignored Fruit quality and brand value are the only ways for Taiwan's fruit industry to remain competitive internationally Fruit screening is the main link in fruit production and marketing that determines quality Currently, the industry is highly dependent on aging rural manpower, resulting in rising fruit screening costs due to labor shortage and making it extremely difficult to maintain stable yield Therefore, the automation of fruit screening work has become a very important and urgent issue Professor Chi-Chun Lee at the Department of Electrical Engineering of National Tsing Hua University led a team to develop an automatic fruit screening system that combines cameras, conveyor belts, and AI The system currently has an accuracy reaching 93 One production season can increase the output value of mango by NT17 billion With the gradual development of the AI system, the accuracy is expected to improve in the future, and the same system can also be applied to other fruits, further promoting traceable fruit and driving the technological upgrading of Taiwan's fruit industry Fruit screening relies heavily on scarce manpower, and the aging of the rural population makes the situation even worse Professor Chi-Chun Lee learned about the fruit industryrsquos dilemma from his classmate Yu alias, who had studied together in the United States Yu is the young second-generation successor of one of Taiwan's largest fruit import and export companies According to Yu's observations in the industry over numerous years, Taiwan's fruit production and export usually generated good profits at first, but after fruit farmers in the consuming countries obtained the seeds, they will often attempt to grow the fruit locally to reduce costs and obtain greater profits If Taiwanese fruits cannot surpass the products of fruit farmers in consuming countries in terms of quality or brand value, they will be eliminated because competitors' costs are indeed lower Fruit screening is used to divide fruits according to quality If they cannot pass the minimum specification, they will be discarded as waste products In practice, the work of screening fruits will be carried out by farmers' goods yards and distributor' packaging yards respectively However, if it is not properly handled by the collection freight yards and the packaging yards do not do a good job in sampling in the early stage, it will result in a loss for distributors and cause 30 of AA grade fruits to be eliminated This job relies heavily on experienced fruit screeners More experienced fruit screeners can not only control the quality and reduce the chance of fruit damage in the fruit screening process, but also have the ability to pick out about 10 more A grade fruits, which adds great value What worries the industry is that experienced fruit screeners are gradually decreasing due to the aging population in rural areas, making them a very rare resource Such rare human resources are often in high demand during busy farming periods Farmers or distributors who fail to hire experienced fruit screeners have to settle for less experienced one, taking on the risk of additional losses and paying greater costs The most unfortunate situation suffering a loss of 30 mentioned above Fruit screening is an important process in the later stages of fruit production when packaging and selling Failure to properly control quality will result in huge losses AI is very suitable for assisting in fruit screening, but it is difficult to obtain data sets After understanding Yu's difficulties, Professor Lee found that this was a problem that could be solved using AI - although fruit screening relies heavily on experienced fruit screeners, it is a highly repetitive task Handling repetitive tasks with a large amount of data has always been a strength of AI However, the first problem appeared even before research and development work started Which fruit do we start with First of all, a suitable fruit must reach a certain export volume, and the fruit must still have considerable room for growth For some fruits that lack international competitiveness, such as bananas and pineapples, companies no longer have the ability to invest more funds to purchase equipment, let alone sponsor RampD or assist the RampD team in experiments When you have an idea, you need to pick up the pace and put it into practice as soon as possible Therefore, Irwin mango, which still has a certain advantage in terms of scale, was selected as the first experimental subject of the automatic fruit screening systemThe first step after harvesting mangoes is to screen the fruits for the first time at the goods yard After the fruits are screened, they are sent to the packaging yard for fumigation and disinfection, and preparation for sale or loaded into containers for export However, exporters with a deeper understanding of the target market will have stricter quality requirements and will often screen the fruit again to ensure the quality of the fruit before fumigation at the packaging site Since employees at the goods yard are paid based on the number of mangoes screened rather than on the quality of the mangoes, they focus on quantity when working As a result, to ensure the quality of the selected fruits, the subsequent packaging factory has to screen the fruit again, increasing labor The solution seems simple and clear - A camera, machine conveyor belts for grading and sorting, and an AI that can distinguish the quality of mangoes from their appearance are all that are needed to achieve automatic fruit screening However, the hard part is how can AI distinguish the quality of mangoes Thatrsquos right, you must start by establishing a training data set In order to create the data set, Professor Lee's team established a website that allows anyone to upload photos of mangoes and rate them Once the data sets are refined, they can be used to train AI The fruit screening machine developed by Professor Lee's team uses AI image recognition to select the best looking mangoes The accuracy of the trained AI reaches 93, which can increase the output value by NT17 billion in one season In 2019, the assistance of the Industrial Development Bureau now the Industrial Development Administration of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and AI HUB accelerated the verification of the technology Professor Lee's team accumulated 100,000 entries of data during the 2-month empirical period, and the accuracy of the trained AI reached 93 This is far higher than the manual screening accuracy of 70, resulting in a clear difference in quality In terms of export value, the output value of mango is expected to be increased by NT17 billion in one season It can also reduce labor costs by NT1866 million and avoid the seasonal labor shortage problem mentioned above In addition, since it is no longer necessary to screen the fruit once at the goods yard and packaging yard each, it also reduces losses caused by human error in the fruit screening process When the technology becomes more mature, the same system can be applied to other fruits exported by Taiwan, such as wax apple and guava, in the future, taking Taiwan's fruit industry to the next level Since it is AI, accuracy can be improved through continuous training, and continuous adjustment of algorithms and cooperation with equipment manufacturers can significantly improve production capacity In addition, Professor Lee is also organizing the AI Cup competition with the sponsorship of manufacturers and the government, allowing more teams to use the same data set to continue to develop the algorithm, in hopes of facilitating further cooperation with companies that are interested Irwin mango grade identification system on AI HUB Professor Lee's team hopes to use the power of AI to achieve complete traceability of fruits from production to packaging and transportation, thereby increasing the brand value of Taiwan's fruits Besides hoping to allow Taiwan's fruits to seize a place in the fiercely competitive foreign markets, with high-quality supply, Taiwan's fruits can also shine internationally and become the pride of Taiwan Taiwan's fruits still have certain competitive advantages in the international market, but they also face competitive pressure from fruit farmers in consuming countries as they are exported Easily save NT1866 million per mango season and significantly improve quality nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp

【2020 Application Example】 The "Automated Exhibition Matching System" is highly effective in targeting customer groups for marketing!

Of the hundreds of activities, which one is your favorite There is a wide variety of activities every day in Taiwan, including forums, exhibitions, lectures, and free experiences Event organizers need to use their own media event official website, Facebook, Instagram, event websites, and pay media for marketing, but often do not know where the target customer is, and cannot accurately estimate the number of attendees Records of people's participation in various activities are used through this "Automated Exhibition Matching System," and the data is analyzed to predict what type of activities users like It automatically matches activities with users to provide fast, easy, and accurate marketing and promotion methods There are many types of activity themes, marketing and advertising costs are high, but results are poor A domestic curation company is working with township offices and tourism service providers in the marketing of rural villages It organizes a variety of activities every year, such as agricultural product exhibitions, rural experiences, parent-child themed experience days, and agricultural specialty product marketing Due to the vastly different characteristics of participants in the activities, which have different themes, effective and accurate market cannot be carried out when promoting the activities, which can easily lead to a significant increase in marketing expenses and low matching rate For example, when the curator organizes an exhibition with 200 booths in the venue, the overall marketing cost is about NT800,000 to NT12 million, in which construction of the official website, marketing on the event website, and text message notifications account for about NT400,000 to NT600,000, but the event's matching rate is less than 20, and precision marketing aimed at the target customer group cannot be carried out After adopting the "Automated Exhibition Matching System," it can automatically select suitable customer groups for push notifications Depending on the scale of the event and the exhibition period, the system rental fee is only about NT200,000 to NT300,000, significantly reducing event promotion costs Precision smart marketing, distributing coupons to target groups The "Automated Exhibition Matching System" currently has an accuracy of 82 and can effectively screen target consumers In terms of module accuracy, large amounts of data and data that no longer contains noise will be used to further improve the accuracy in the future Coupons will be distributed to target groups, so that groups that receive the coupons will actually participate in the event After adding value through AI, the system can replace the manual random distribution of coupons without a specific target The AI module can automatically adjust the weights to more accurately lock on to the target group The weighted formula uses the CRM system of the curation company to output analysis of member behavior in the past In the second stage, the AI weighted formula will be used to find the best calculation formula for different activity categories through automatic correction Service Framework of the Automated Exhibition Matching System During the implementation period, Fengchun Technology was troubled by the problem of "the AI classifier module training and learning not finding the best solution" After discussions with AI engineers, the company found that a shortcoming of "back-propagation neural network" is that it only finds the "local" best solution rather than the "global" best result during learning The goal of improving accuracy can be achieved by increasing the number of training times and adjusting parameters Expand system functions, connect member databases, and conduct behavioral analysis The "Exhibition Event Matching System" mainly provides event organizers, independent curators and the public with event matching Next, the platform functions will be expanded for use by event participants, and the accuracy of the AI classifier will be improved In the future, an ocean culture exhibition will be organized with the ocean industry, and use this system to find ocean culture promoters, connecting and expanding member databases for behavioral analysis
