【2021 Solutions】 Hyson Technology uses AI to help fishermen farm fish

Lian Wei-Cheng, the founder and CEO of Hyson Technology, was once an IC design engineer in the semiconductor industry, working in front of a computer all day long in Hsinchu Science Park. Although he was busy, he still had a sense of uncertainty and felt anxious about his life goals. He couldn’t help but think about whether the technological capabilities he learned can directly connect with people and the land, solve various social issues, improve human life, and further change the world.

He took the plunge and left the semiconductor industry, a job that everyone envied, and founded Hyson Technology. He stayed at the fish farms in Qigu, Tainan, his hometown for a long time, and built relationships with the fishermen. He was eventually able to talk about "fishing knowledge" and gained the trust of the fishermen. The "Aquaculture Monitoring and Rearing System" was developed by Hyson Technology by combining artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and mechanism design. The system uses a method friendly to fish, shrimp, and the environment to reduce risk and increase yield, achieving sustainable farming production.

Lian Wei-Cheng, who was wearing a sun hat and walking among the fish ponds under the scorching sun, was asked: Why did you make the change from the tech worker to an entrepreneur who helps fishermen farm fish? He answered shyly with a smile: The chairman of a certain semiconductor company also asked him the same question. "I want to have more contact with people, directly understand people's needs, and find places where technology is needed to improve people's lives," he said, so he resolutely left his envied job in the semiconductor industry and became "half tech worker, half fisherman."

The annual output value of Taiwanese fishermen is relatively low, but there is great potential to increase output value through technology

Why did you choose aquaculture for entrepreneurship? Citing a report in "CommonWealth Magazine", he pointed out that to show the value of an industry, we can observe whether the industry has prospects based on the per capita annual output value of employees. For example, Qualcomm has a per capita annual output value of NT$23 million, and Microsoft is NT$23 million. The per capita annual output value of Norwegian fishermen reaches approximately NT$24 million, which is three times the per capital annual output value of Taiwan's electronics industry (NT$8 million). The current average of Taiwan's aquaculture industry is only about NT$400,000. There is considerable room for growth from NT$400,000 to NT$24 million.

Thinking about it from another perspective, Taiwan’s electronic hardware and IoT equipment technology lead the world. If these technologies can be combined to give smart aquaculture full play, the average annual output value of fishermen is expected to increase significantly. The expertise of Hyson Technology’s team is AI image processing technology and data analysis technology. They use these technologies to solve the risks and labor problems caused by not being able to see fish and shrimp underwater. The team sets out from being able to see, to measure, and to control, and allows fishermen to quickly monitor the growth status of fish and shrimp using their mobile phones. It can also be combined with automated equipment to reduce labor and risks.

When Lian Wei-Cheng was a student in the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, he loved raising ornamental fish and watching birds, often going to Qigu to watch birds. He observed the environment and found that more and more fish farms in Qigu were being abandoned. This was mainly due to two major factors, one is that it is difficult for young people to enter the industry without experience. The other is that the older generation did not keep records and it is difficult to pass on experience. This has resulted in an aging population in Taiwan’s fishing villages and prevented an increase in output volume. The most effective way to solve the problems above is to introduce an automated system to assist with fish farming.

Hyson Technology's fish farming system uses self-designed IoT underwater cameras to monitor fish in the farms. It also uses Edge-AI image defogging technology to make the images of fish in ponds clearer, allowing fishermen to use their mobile phones to see fish activities and feeding, and determine if the fish are sick. The images are synchronized to the cloud, and Cloud-AI automatically identifies, samples, and measures biological information, such as the length and weight of each fish, automatically recording and compiling statistics of the growth status of the fish. The information is visualized in reports and images. It can also analyze the feed conversion ratio in different farming stages. The AI expert system can also predict harvest dates based on growth data, control sales and shipment schedules, and ensure stable and sufficient supply.

The fish farming system is like a ruler, taking into account every detail of fish farming

The fish farming system creates an objective ruler for the fish farming industry. Using this ruler, fishermen can measure and compare the effects of different farming methods, see parts that they have not paid attention to before, and create more usages and value. In the past, the traditional approach of manually catching fish samples was labor-intensive and time-consuming. It usually took two people an hour to sample only 30-40 fish, and often caused accidental fish casualties. Field verification results show that Hyson Technology’s fish farming system can automatically sample and measure the biological information of 300 fish in 5 minutes without disturbing the activities of the fish. It is extremely efficient and can ensure zero damage to the fish.

Fish farmers use the system’s AI growth statistics as the basis for decision-making in determining the size of fish entering the pond and shipping. It replaces the original traditional method of manually catching and measuring 30 fish, which can save about 75% of manual work time. In the fish farming industry with extremely scarce manpower, the benefits of saving manpower are very significant. Hyson Technology is gradually expanding the AI technology it developed to other fields. For example, Hyson Technology participated in the AI+ New Talent Selection of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Industrial Development Bureau’s AI Program, in which major companies provide problems and startups provide solutions.” The company combined its proprietary fully automatic AI underwater image defogging algorithm with an AI model, and applied it to the solution of an optoelectronics company for removing rainbow film from LED panels. The company thus won the biggest award for meeting all technical thresholds.

Lian Wei-Cheng pointed out that the defogging technology can automatically estimate the degree of color distortion in water and automatically adjust the contrast of each area to improve image quality. Compared with AI models that consider underwater physics and methods based on adversarial network model, the method proposed by Hyson Technology provides clearer image details, and also received better scores in multiple objective image quality evaluation standards, such as NIQE and PSNR.

Underwater image defogging algorithm favored by major companies due to its superiority

This defogging technology combined with AI technology can effectively improve the accuracy of fish recognition. For groupers with colors similar to the background and difficult to distinguish, the accuracy can be significantly increased by more than 3%. For batfish with clear features and high recognition accuracy already reaching 98% and above, the accuracy can be further increased by nearly 1%. Using this technology to make the images of farmed fish clearer, it can be used as the basis for determining fish diseases. If the technology for underwater defogging is built into the AI model recognition layer, it can also be used to solve the problem of rainbow patterns appearing when taking photos of screens, which prevents panel defects from being detected. This will effectively solve the problem of AUO with rainbow pattern interference during panel inspection.

What are the challenges of Hyson Technology in business promotion? Lian Wei-Cheng believes that the biggest difficulty is how to expand into a new industry. Hyson Technology often faces customers from traditional industries. When recommending or cooperating with traditional industry customers on a new technology product, the key is gaining the trust of customers and achieving the goal of customers are partners. Frequent visits are needed to gradually build trust and understand customer needs. Only then will the company have the opportunity to further assist customers in solving their pain points.

Hyson Technology's excellent image recognition and AI technologies have gradually gained recognition from customers. It has built relationships with major companies in verification, and it will continue to gain a foothold in the market in the short term with its own image processing products, such as the fish farming system. In the medium term, it hopes to expand the scope of products and business services, and provide one-stop production and marketing services from underwater to on land, and from the production end to the consumer end. In the long term, Hyson Technology will duplicate its successful experiences in Taiwan and integrate resources of partners to expand into the international market.

Watertight smart industrial safety inspection Linker Vision’s image analysis AI platform sets a new record of inspection time reduced from 100 minutes to 3 seconds

With the rise of smart manufacturing, there is a demand for industrial safety inspections in high-risk industries such as chemical, energy, and electrical industries Take pipeline inspection in the chemical industry as an example It relies heavily on manual regular inspection and monitoring, and lacks intelligent monitoring by a professional AI team This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also cause accidental risks to employees in various industrial safety environments The image analysis AI platform developed by Xinyun Linke not only improves employee personal safety and reduces risk factors, but also significantly reduces the time for human visual inspection of pipeline abnormalities from an average of 100 minutes to 3 seconds Paul Shieh, founder and chairman of Linker Vision Co, Ltd Linker Vision, said, "The overall technological development and progress in the United States comes from entrepreneurship Linker Vision's original intention to start a business in Taiwan has been I hope that through my past experience in entrepreneurship in the United States, I can introduce the American entrepreneurial spirit and culture to Taiwan's budding entrepreneurial fertile ground and truly implement it "American entrepreneurial culture encourages employees to value ownership and emphasizes that employees regard themselves as owners of the company Be a part of the company, with a work attitude and spirit that would be better than mine The company's achievements are your own achievements, breaking the original employer-employee relationship The company will reward outstanding employees with stocks, share the glory together, and establish a partnership with employees Partnership On the other hand, Taiwan still has room for efforts in entrepreneurial culture and management, and it retains the traditional thinking of employers and employees It is expected that Xinyun Linke's establishment of American entrepreneurial culture and values in Taiwan will serve as a starting point to drive more domestic new companies to follow suit, and then Only by upgrading the business constitution of new software AI entrepreneurs can they break out of the cocoon and go global Facing the market, most international players focus on developing AI models and algorithms They are less willing to invest in data-centered Data-Centric AI services They think that processing large amounts of 2D or 3D data is quite time-consuming It’s also energy-consuming Seeing the gap in AI technology and encouraged by Microsoft, Xinyunlinke decided to fully invest in Data-Centric's AI technology layout and deep roots many years ago, and specialize in technical energy in data processing, filtering and accuracy Therefore, Become an important partnership with Microsoft for AI technology supply In addition, due to the gap in industrial demand, domestic large factories, whose strength is chemical manufacturing, still rely heavily on manpower for inspection of pipelines in the factory, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive However, in order to cater to the AI industry, the owner reorganized the IT department originally engaged in database management and control into an AI team However, due to the owner's lack of professional experience in AI software technology, AI models and related domain know-how, the owner introduced AI implementation Industrial safety monitoring in the chemical industry is even more challenging The world's first AI automatic labeling technology surpasses manual labeling and can visually identify objects with an accuracy of over 95 In terms of AI technology power, Xinyunlinke has launched the world's first dual-core innovative technology of automatic labeling Auto-labeling and automatic machine learning to create an efficient and stable image analysis AI platform to provide customers with the best Advanced and complete AI solutions In terms of automatic annotation, this AI technology can overcome the most difficult challenge in deep learning, which is to provide customers with the highest quality training data Taking self-driving cars as an example, how to enable one self-driving car to effectively identify another car is the importance of labeling In the past labeling methods, we first needed to collect digital images of millions of vehicles, roads, signs, and pedestrians, and spent a lot of manpower Manually labeling one image at a time was time-consuming, labor-intensive, high in labor cost, and inefficient Through automatic labeling AI technology, combined with automatic machine learning to automatically label digital images, AI can exclude human error labeling and then throw the correct data into the vehicle's brain for vehicle identification Compared with manual labeling accuracy of only 60, the accuracy of automatically labeling and identifying objects with AI can be as high as over 95 It can also reduce manual labeling time by more than 80 and save at least 80 of labor costs AI automatically marks AI behavior recognition for high-altitude operations In the automatic machine learning part, Xinyunlinke established an AI visual model with continuous learning capabilities to adapt to data changes By optimizing the overall development process, from AI data ingestion and filtering Data Selection to AI labeling AI Labeling , model training and verification, deployment and monitoring, so that AI computer vision can continue to learn more quickly and easily Automatic machine learning can currently be applied to different business cases such as object identification and counting, personnel entry and exit security detection, product defect detection, people flow identification, product shortages on shelves, etc Looking at domestic companies such as TSMC, Formosa Plastics and Hon Hai towards intelligent AI management and purchasing a large number of cameras to meet the image recognition needs of industrial safety surveillance,

regulations required in different workplaces at any time through the platform's event notification and management detection The image analysis AI platform is used in cross-field AI image recognition technology Generally, for industrial safety inspections in the chemical industry, most rely on the naked eye of personnel to regularly inspect pipeline abnormalities It takes an average of 100 minutes to scan an area each time, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the pipeline location is difficult to visually observe, which may cause Employees are exposed to accidental risks in various work safety environments In order to reduce the pain points of industrial safety inspections in the chemical industry, Xinyunlinke assists well-known domestic chemical industry players by using an automated image analysis AI platform, combined with customized virtual electronic fences, and using in-plant cameras to configure AI pipeline leakage modules , the AI automatic inspection method can effectively reduce the abnormal detection time to less than 3 seconds In addition, cameras deployed in the factory can automatically record inspection schedules to achieve full-time monitoring, allowing customers to instantly discover and fully control pipelines, minimizing risks In addition, the automated image analysis AI platform can help customers apply fire warnings in factories It is conservatively estimated that the return on investment can be less than 9 months to pay back the investment The longer the platform is used, the higher the cost-effectiveness Build an automatic learning image analysis AI platform for Mobility as a Service in various fields Xie Yuanbao observed that the biggest challenge facing the entrepreneurial culture of software companies in Taiwan is that young new entrepreneurs or employees in Taiwan do not understand the entrepreneurial model and lack the awareness to regard themselves as part of the company owners This has caused It is a pity that your future is unclear or you have a past-experience mentality that prevents you from staying competent in a new start-up company for a long time I believe that the essence of true entrepreneurship lies in every employee rolling up their sleeves and working hard, so that they can truly enjoy the fruits of entrepreneurial profits Otherwise, for young entrepreneurs or employees who often change tracks, it will be like a rolling stone that gathers no moss , I am unable to take a deep root on the road of entrepreneurship, and I lose my ability to solidly accumulate financial independence Regarding the business promotion challenges of Xinyun Linke, Xie Yuanbao said with emotion that because the Taiwan market does not have a deep understanding of AI software applications, it relies more on open source AI visual analysis or machine learning and other resources on the market, but in fact These AI technology resources are limited in their ability to support customers' AI model needs, resulting in uneven quality of AI visual analysis software in the market Therefore, the impact is more indirect on Xinyunlinke's ability to truly provide customers with professional and data-centric AI image analysis services, and it also reduces the company's original business value in customer reference In terms of technical research and development challenges, the visual analysis AI platform cannot rely solely on AI model experts It must gather talents in various fields such as cloud, machine learning, data science, front-end and back-end and other professional team combinations to make the platform operate successfully Xie Yuanbao said that he believes that only through the automatic learning of the visual analysis AI platform, automatic fast and accurate data processing capabilities, and providing customers with complete AI solution services in the cloud, cloud ground Hybrid to pure ground, can we truly Convince customers and stand out from the competition Looking to the future, Xie Yuanbao hopes that Xinyunlin Technology can build an image analysis AI platform for Mobility as a Service to automatically learn in various fields such as self-driving cars, smart warehousing robots, and unmanned buses in smart cities At the same time, I am also grateful to the support of the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs for the smooth landing of Xinyunlin Technology in Taiwan and the opportunity to recruit talents from all walks of life to work together In the short-term layout, the company will actively cooperate with domestic players such as Hon Hai and TSMC to implement image analysis AI technology in fields such as self-driving cars, smart industrial safety, and smart warehousing robots In the medium to long term, Xinyunlinke will target the United States, Europe, Japan and other countries as its global market layout, establish investment and cooperation partnerships with major international companies such as Microsoft, and replicate its successful experience and promote it internationally Xinyunlinke official website Xie Yuanbao, founder and chairman of Xinyunlinke 「Translated content is generated by ChatGPT and is for
