The world is changing and every day we have news that buys this change. Many of our routines are facilitated by technological systems, i.e. those integrated into the IoT (Internet of Things or Internet of Things) that allow us to save time and resources. And on an industrial level this innovation is increasingly evident.
In this sense, ASUS has now shown its first smart factory ready for Artificial Intelligence. Let’s get to know it better.
ASUS 'first smart factory
An Asus announced this Friday (28) the opening of its first intelligent factory prepared for Artificial Intelligence (AI). One of the main goals of the facilities is to help the Taiwanese company achieve its goals of developing and implementing the Industry 4.0 concept, which includes the use of automation and data sharing technologies to increase efficiency and productivity.
This project is part of the ASUS IoT (Internet of Things) department, which uses several advanced features of this technology. In other words, the industry will use a network of equipment with the ability to communicate with each other and between users to work together and in sync.
The facilities have a 3D Digital Twin system, an augmented reality (AR) platform, mobile and autonomous robots used in factory logistics, and an inspection system to detect defects driven by artificial intelligence.
This ASUS smart factory also has "machine to machine" (M2M) capabilities, which send information and certain commands in real time to machines via wireless connection. According to Albert Chang, corporate vice president of ASUS and co-director of the IoT Business Group, the opening of the factory is a milestone in the transformation of the company, also remembering that the unit is a solid example of the hardware and software resources that the the brand can offer to customers and suppliers.
ASUS adds that the factory has an end-to-end digitized process, which allows it to monitor its activity throughout production. There is a central data platform where it is then possible to manage the unit.
According to the brand, this project should therefore help improve the quality of its products and also create a smart and resilient manufacturing environment.
