Innovation Development

Smart Manufacturing

ASUS AI Smart Factory Intelligent Scheduling System: In 2022, ASUS’ Smart Factory in Shulin officially commenced operations. Building on this foundation, in 2023 we implemented a data middleware and intelligent scheduling system to strengthen data governance. In 2024, in collaboration with ASKEY Computer, ASUS successfully completed a 5G and AIoT subsidy program supported by Taiwan’s National Development Council. This initiative enhanced remote collaboration, equipment inspection, and warehouse logistics efficiency, marking a significant step toward comprehensive data governance and serving as a concrete example of generative AI being applied in real-world industrial scenarios.

• ASUS officially launched its Shulin Smart Factory, implementing a centralized monitoring and management platform, AR smart glasses, and AI defect inspection systems to enhance production quality and efficiency while reducing operational costs.
• The factory of Portwell, Inc. and ASUS‘s Shulin Factory have implemented the Mobile Equipment Inspection Command Center and Smart Warehouse Material Transportation Management systems. The Shulin Smart Factory was honored with the “Digital Transformation Model Award.“
• In collaboration with its subsidiary Askey Computer Corp., ASUS successfully completed the “National Development Council‘s Subsidy Program for Promoting 5G and AI-Driven Innovative IoT Applications in Smart Cities and Rural Areas" on schedule, achieving the following key milestones:
  • Remote Real-Time Collaborative System : Proven to reduce production line downtime to less than one day, with audio and video transmission latency kept under 200 milliseconds during remote collaboration.
  • Mobile Inspection War Room System : Proven to achieve response latency of less than 500 milliseconds for real-time updates on production line displays, and to reduce control room monitoring manpower by more than 30%.
  • Smart Warehouse Material Transport Management System : Proven to reduce material handling labor by more than three workers and achieve over 95% task execution accuracy using Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs).

Smart Healthcare

ASUS actively develops smart healthcare applications and strengthens the innovation in the services in healthcare and cloud. We seek to create the next-generation medical information platform to support the digital transformation of healthcare and meet international standards.

• ASUS has taken a major step forward in global smart healthcare with its self-developed ASUS Blood Pressure Application. Previously certified by Taiwan’s Ministry of Health and Welfare as medical device software (Certification No. 007812), it was the first blood pressure application developed in Taiwan for wearable health devices. The application has now achieved another milestone by receiving approval from the Thai Food and Drug Administration (Thai FDA, Certification No. 67-2-2-2-0009328), marking a successful certification in the Thai market.
• ASUS has released nine new AI-assisted features for its handheld wireless ultrasound device, LU800. Leveraging advanced AI computing and image processing technologies, the update includes enhancements across three main areas: image optimization, automatic measurements, and voice control. Features like AI Smart Preset and IQ SCAN automatically identify the scanned area and optimize parameters such as gain, brightness, and depth, making ultrasound imaging more intuitive and user-friendly. Other functions like Auto ROI, Auto PW Gate, and Auto Depth AI reduce the need for lengthy manual operations and minimize human error in settings. As global aging continues to place immense pressure on healthcare systems, the integration of smart medical technology and AI-assisted tools provides timely relief for limited medical resources.

Smart Parking Service

With the rise of urbanization and increasing vehicle numbers, parking has become a growing challenge in many cities. The ASUS IoT Smart Parking Integration Solution enhances parking management efficiency through technology, offering a convenient solution for both drivers and parking operators. This smart parking system leverages Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and big data technologies. It integrates real-time parking information, reservation functions, online electronic payments, and license plate recognition. Drivers can easily check availability and reserve parking spaces via a mobile app or web interface, significantly improving parking efficiency.

Smart Retail

In response to the growing trend of Online-Merge-Offline (OMO) integration in smart retail, ASUS Smart Retail focuses on two core areas: lightweight AI services tailored for retail scenarios and SaaS platforms for retail membership data management.

By combining hardware, OMO microservices, and cloud data platforms, ASUS delivers a range of customizable solutions for retail and food service industries. These include integrated Cloud POS software and hardware, OMO microservices such as membership management, point and voucher systems, ordering platforms, and data hubs for cloud-based analytics. As of 2024, these solutions have been successfully implemented in restaurant chains.
