In response to customer demand on a wide variety of products in small quantities in the manufacturing industry, there is an urgent need to find AI solutions from the cloud to terminals Claireye Intelligence provides a solution that integrates software and hardware - BailAI image inspection solution to assist traditional manufacturing industries in improving process efficiency and product quality, thereby achieving the initial goal of transformation After the government declared 2017 to be Taiwan's "First Year of AI," AI startups have sprung up in Taiwan Established in 2018, Claireye Intelligence targets smart manufacturing and provides a platform for AI image analysis and process optimization, using the power of deep learning to detect product defects and abnormalities in the assembly process It assists companies in building infrastructure from terminals to the cloud, which enables automated monitoring of factory production to improve process efficiency and quality Focusing on AI image inspection based on its familiarity with the production line quality control process Shirley Liu, founder and CEO of Claireye Intelligence, is a young entrepreneur She entered the manufacturing industry after graduating from college and held a quality control position in the plastic injection process of hard disk parts "She was already on the production line at the time, and is familiar with the production line process of production machinery" She later switched career paths to marketing and planning, and then worked as an AI product manager When the time came, Shirley Liu decided to start a business, focusing on AI image recognition in the manufacturing industry "The difficulty for enterprises is the lack of an AI development team Even if an enterprise has an AI team, development projects will take a lot of time, at least 6-12 months" said Shirley Liu, who is well versed in the market's pain points The problem that needs to be solved by platforms is to provide services that allow traditional manufacturing industries to build their own AI models without needing employees with a programming background, and to remotely assist production lines with troubleshooting and subsequent system maintenance, helping companies save development time and labor costs BailAI image inspection platform usage scenarios Facing the large number of competitors that provide AI image recognition in the market, what are the technical advantages of Claireye Intelligence Shirley Liu said that many companies currently have AOI equipment, but the bottleneck in the application of AOI is that it can only be used for defect inspection in fast production of large quantities, and parameters need to be adjusted after each inspection or production Based on her understanding of the industry, most SMEs are limited by their financial resources due to AOI equipment often costing over NT1 million, but they also want to use automated inspection This is where Claireye Intelligence comes in Shirley Liu went on to say that it is impossible for traditional manufacturing industries to maintain a technical team that includes AI engineers, data engineers, cloud architects, and terminal architects Claireye Intelligence specializes in software and hardware integration Enterprises can use the BailAI image inspection platform to easily solve inspection problems on the production line In other words, customers only need to provide images or samples for Claireye Intelligence to carry out model training, model deployment, and system integration, and they can easily use AI technology to optimize and monitor production line processes Participated in the AI New Talent Selection and achieved a recognition rate of over 90 in assembly behavioral image recognition For example, a certain connector manufacturer only has 1-2 AI engineers in its technical team The main problem that needs to be solved is that most operators are on the production line, while quality control and senior managers are not on site, and the company wants to understand the actual situation of the production line through remote monitoring Claireye Intelligence uses industrial cameras to capture production line images, and transmits AI image analysis to the remote end Supervisors and quality control personnel can observe if there are any errors in the production line assembly, such as whether the connectors and lines are connected properly, through the monitor Claireye Intelligence's AI image inspection operates on Microsoft's Azure cloud platform, and also utilizes terminal equipment, such as NVIDIA's edge computing equipment placed around the inspection station, to assist traditional manufacturing industries with improving production line efficiency and detecting problems early through an integrated solution from the cloud to terminals Claireye Intelligencersquos customers currently include aviation, electronic peripherals, connectors, and metal industries Assembly process solution for human behavior recognition in assembly lines achieves an accuracy of over 90 In order to demonstrate the depth of technology, Claireye Intelligence participated in the 2021 AI New Talents Selection of the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs, and provided Lite-On Technology with the "assembly process solution for human behavior recognition in assembly lines" The solution determines effective working hours and ineffective working hours of operators on the production line through cameras and AI image recognition It recognizes hand posture and position through images to determine the operator's assembly behavior, achieving an accuracy of over 90 Shirley Liu added that the assembly process of electronic components is complex, mostly carried out manually, and cannot be replaced by robotic arms Claireye Intelligence used cameras to film the assembly process of operators at Lite-On's assembly station The algorithm is then trained and corrected based on the video, and the final trained model can directly determine whether there are any errors in the assembly process to improve the overall process Project development time is expected to be shortened to 1 month by using the BailAI image inspection platform Since its establishment more than three years ago, Claireye Intelligence has accumulated a considerable amount of project experience and hopes to commercialize the project experience Shirley Liu pointed out that the trial version of BailAI image inspection will be completed this year 2022 Customers can choose industrial cameras or video cameras based on the detail of the object being inspected It can even use X-rays to capture images, and then the images are automatically marked by the platform Claireye Intelligence will provide customers with AI application models suitable for the field Inferences can also be made in the cloud or terminals for launch in the manufacturing industry The metals industry, metal casings of industrial computers, connectors, electronic peripherals, and mechanical parts can all use the platform for defect detection and object identification Claireye Intelligence will continue to improve its technical capabilities, accumulate customer experience to complete commercialization, and also accelerate the implementation of AI inspection applications In the mid-term, it will build terminal and cloud infrastructure and shorten the development time of enterprise AI projects from 6-12 months to 1 month, reducing usage time and lowering the threshold for enterprises The long-term goal is to target the Southeast Asian market where Taiwanese businesses are gathered, expand software and hardware integrated AI solutions to overseas markets, and expand the scale of operations

During the opening ceremony of the 2022 Smart City Summit amp Expo co-organized by the National Development Council, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Taipei City Government, Taoyuan City Government, Kaohsiung City Government, and Taipei Computer Association on March 22, 2022, founder and president of Touch Cloud Cheng-Hsun Li went on stage to receive the "2022 Smart City Innovation Application Award_Smart Security Award" This award is hard-won because after five years of hard work, Touch Cloud brought its core technology of AI image analysis back to Taiwan after gaining popularity in overseas markets, becoming an important smart city solutions provider "Since the company was established, we have positioned ourselves to make AI products that are stable, easy to use, and truly needed by the market" The company's positioning is very clear, this step took Touch Cloud five years It was not until the beginning of 2020 that Touch Cloud launched its first intrusion detection product In less than two years, Touch Cloud has now launched seven products, with each product receiving excellent reviews from the market Specializing in the field of smart cities, Touch Cloud successfully entered the Asian market Founded in February 2016, Touch Cloud originally focused on AOI defect detection However, the definition of defects is different for every customer As a result, applications in this field are mostly project development and could not be commercialized The company later directed its efforts to AI Application Box, a product that integrates software and hardware, and focused on smart cities, including transportation, industrial safety, and security related markets In view of the high acceptance and price advantage of AI in overseas markets, Cheng-Hsun Li targeted the overseas market in the early stages of the company's development, and has produced many successful results in several major countries, including Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand Among them, Touch Cloud successfully entered the Hong Kong market with its debut in the Hong Kong International Airport project In 2018, Hong Kong International Airport planned to monitor ships around airline oil storage platforms to prevent ships from colliding with the oil storage platform However, the oil storage platform is located in the middle of the sea and lacks electricity and Internet connection, so it could only set up a camera on shore 3 km away from the platform In addition to the long distance and poor line of sight, monitoring was also affected by weather conditions, such as clouds and fog, and was ineffective Touch Cloud customized an AI algorithm specifically for the project, and continuously collected image data for model training It took half a year of discussions with the customer and system corrections to finally achieve an accuracy rate of 98, successfully completing the goal Touch Cloud won the 2022 Smart City Innovation Application Award_Smart Security Award Minister of Economic Affairs Mei-Hua Wang on the left, Touch Cloud founder and president Cheng-Hsun Li on the right Touch Cloud products have three advantages that provide customers with a better AI user experience 1 Plug and play 2 Provides flexible services, in addition to standard products, customized services meet customers' needs for quick launch and reliable problem solving 3 High adaptability and ability to achieve extremely high recognition accuracy in different environments Cheng-Hsun Li believes that the design of AI products should be as simple as using a "home appliance" and have a clear purpose Therefore, Touch Cloud built an AI Application Box to design products from the perspective of scene applications, focusing on image analysis related to "people" and "vehicles" At present, a total of seven products have been developed, including KekkAI personnel intrusion detection, card swiping and tailgating detection, KekkAI-H construction site safety detection, Abaci-P people flow and head count, Abaci-V traffic flow and vehicle count, Greygoose personnel intrusion detection and people flow, GotchA cross-camera person tracking search, and AISense license plate recognition Cross-camera tracking product GotchA won the Smart City Innovation Application Award GotchA is the product that won the Smart City Innovation Application Award This cross-camera tracking product is unique in the market Its system uses AI technology to search and track people by analyzing their features at the time Users can use image search to search for the path of a specific person in multiple cameras they can also use multiple appearance features to find suitable target groups Using GotchA, you can actively search for lost people, understand the shopping behavior of VIP customers in the mall, and even manage the footprints of visitors in the building For example, it is not uncommon for children to get lost in hypermarkets GotchA can access footage from the entrance camera for an image search, and compare the walking path of the child to quickly find the missing child Using GotchA in shopping malls and amusement parks, where people come and go, to find lost people It not only significantly reduces the time spent by 90, but also transforms the traditional approach of the service counter making an announcement to the lost person into an active search based on image analysis, thereby improving service levels and accuracy Touch Cloud's excellent AI image analysis technology is favored by large enterprises Cheng-Hsun Li said that his experience abroad has taught him to help customers find AI usage scenarios For example, a T-Bar large advertising billboard operator in Thailand wants to attract business, and advertisers want to understand the flow of people to evaluate advertising effectiveness The T-Bar company has more than 1,000 cameras and can determine the type of vehicle from the images and then calculate the number of people, which can be converted to advertising effectiveness After Touch Cloud used the data for training, it can even identify special vehicle types in various countries For example, the nbsp"pickup truck" is a special vehicle type in Thailand Model training is carried out through Open Data, scenario data, and Touch Cloud's self-built database, and can accurately identify traffic flow and vehicle type, which is used to estimate the number of people reached by the advertisement Rapid business development after returning to the Taiwan market from overseas Touch Cloud currently accounts for 70 of the overseas market, with customers in Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines In the future, it will also develop into other Asian markets, such as Vietnam In addition to the Asian market, Touch Cloud has not forgotten to serve Taiwanese customers, and began to actively recruit partners to jointly develop the Taiwan market in June 2021 So far, the number of customers has quickly accumulated to more than a hundred Touch Cloud's excellent AI image analysis technology is favored by many companies, and most investors are strategic partners, working together to create synergies and allow Touch Cloud's technology to be quickly applied Cheng-Hsun Li said that it often takes more than five years for an AI startup to get its operations on track, and it takes at least three years to cultivate good AI talents Results are gradually emerging thanks to the considerable flexibility and space given by strategic investors to the company Touch Cloud products are already being put into practical use in major Asian countries such as Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan, and are expected to enter more Asian countries within two years, driving more advanced image analysis applications The company hopes to complete representative cases in Asian markets every year, and move towards an IPO as a company featuring AI products
