"After the COVID-19 pandemic, even though we could not expand business overseas, the pandemic increased demand for AI automated optical inspection AOI and drove another wave of rapid growth in performance," said Jesse Chen, Founder and President of Spingence Technology The company started early in AOI and accumulated a wealth of experience, resulting in performance in 2021 growing multiple times compared with the previous year Spingence Technology's AI technology has great potential, and its fundraising plan successfully attracted strategic investors, such as the leading industrial computer company Founded at the end of 2015, Spingence Technology started out as a developer of automation software to help customers lower the barrier to automation In just two years from 2017 to 2018, AI technology quickly took off At that time, Jesse Chen observed that product defect detection caused headaches for companies in the process of automating manufacturing The traditional method of manual visual inspection was time-consuming and laborious Moreover, human error easily occurred and AI deployment could not be customized, resulting in high investment costs for enterprises Seizing the AOI market, successful application of AI optical defect detection "The gap in AOI is defect detection Since defects cannot be clearly defined, conforming products were often labeled as non-conforming products to meet the customer demand of not releasing defective products As a result, the overkill rate is often very high, which not only increases the cost of the manufacturing plant, but also lead to a waste of resources" In addition, there is strong demand for process automation due to the shortage of labor in the production line, which created a rare business opportunity for Jesse Chen AI optical defect detection has become the focus of Spingence Technology's AI applications After accumulating nearly 8 years of experience in production line automation, Spingence Technology target customers in three major industries, namely passive components, connectors, and semiconductors, and established a huge database for the production line product defect data it collected Since Spingence Technology started early, it enjoys the advantages of a first mover and continues to optimize database data Its wealth of experience enables it to quickly determine customer needs and propose solutions Spingence Technology uses image recognition and deep learning technologies to develop AOI algorithms, and developed AI defect detection solutions with an accuracy greater than 99 In terms of specific benefits, the overkill rate in the semiconductor industry can be significantly reduced from an average of 5-8 to less than 3, and the overkill rate of passive components can also be reduced from 5 to 12, which can save customers nearly NT300 million in expenses This not only reduces the waste of human resources, but also makes Spingence Technology a good helper for customers' sustainable intelligent manufacturing The outbreak of COVID-19 at the end of 2019 has changed the way people live and work around the world During the pandemic, demand on automation in the manufacturing industry significantly increased due to the need to avoid frequent contact between people Spingence Technology has a good reputation in the industry, so business kept coming in and doubled the number of customers and revenue The secret to winning Follow the footsteps of customers and always think more than customers In addition to Taiwan, Spingence Technology has also extended its reach to markets such as China and Vietnam, where Taiwanese businessmen gather The team in China is expected to increase from 3-4 people to 10 people, and Vietnam also hopes to have a team of 5 people to provide closer services to customers "Spingence Technology always follows the footsteps of its customers We are wherever our customers are" Jesse Chen went on to say that although the pandemic has brought another wave of demand for AI automatic detection, due to the impact of border controls, it was hard to go on business trips Meanwhile, overseas markets on-site personnel to provide nearby services, including consultation and diagnosis, AI implementation, and calibration, all of which require dedicated personnel Spingence's automation software development platform integrates modularized visual inspection, motion control, IO control, and AI analysis functions Coupled with the AI training software "AINavi", one heat sink inspection machine can complete multiple inspections and continue to train the AI deep learning model, which will further lower the miss rate of the machine and improve its inspection quality The integration of AINavi and automation is already sufficient to meet most functional requirements of customers, and then a small number of customized services are provided for different industries and customer needs This allows the company to quickly provide solutions needed by different customers Popular among strategic investors, the company has attracted investments from industrial computer companies and venture capital Spingence Technology has made a mark in the field of AIAOI inspection in the manufacturing industry, and has gain the favor of strategic investors In 2019, a leading industrial computer company made a strategic investment in Spingence Technology and integrated the AINavi deep learning visual inspection tool with the company's complete hardware platform The cooperation between the two parties provides more complete service solutions to customers, creating an example of win-win through "big large company leading small start-up" In February 2022, Spingence Technology reported another good news in its fundraising and received an investment from venture capital, all of its original major shareholders also increased their investment, and nbspSpingence Technology successfully completed the Pre-A round of funding The company will continue to expand its business in the short term, and establish a foothold in China and Vietnam In the future, it plans to build expert systems for passive components, connectors, and semiconductor industries, deepening its domain knowledge and data analysis to create greater value for customers Spingence Technology prides itself as a management consulting company for the manufacturing industry, that is, it provides customers with the most appropriate and valuable consulting services through consulting services, diagnosis, introduction, system launch, personnel training, model optimization, and AI model management

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 scale expansion Future plans include integrating investor resources to establish a new marketing model centered on consumers Tammy Technology co-founder and COO Yi-Ting Li「Translated content is
