MiTAC Advance Technology Corp., building on the strong foundation established by MiTAC Information Technology Corp., was officially separated and established in November 2023. The company’s “AI Application Development Center” is driven by innovation, focusing on future trends and showcasing core technologies in “5G AIoT” and innovative AI application services. MiTAC provides high-value solutions for digital transformation and emerging market technologies, including UAV system integration and design, custom vehicle design and modifications, AI technology and product R&D services, smart security and monitoring systems, and 5G dedicated networks. In the field of autonomous mobile robots (AMR), the company has developed innovative smart applications using AI technology, introducing the “MiCart Autonomous Robot Carrier.” It offers automated transportation capabilities and is progressively applied in smart manufacturing, medical, and high-tech industries, assisting customers in leveraging AI to overcome digital transformation challenges.
Taiwan Instrument Research Institute (TIRI), located in the Hsinchu Science Park, is part of Taiwan's Instrument Technology Research Institute, dedicated to the application and promotion of advanced technologies in various industries.
In the modern electronic manufacturing sector, Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems play a crucial role in detecting various defects that may occur in the manufacturing process of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), such as gaps, short circuits, and open circuits. As order patterns shift from large quantities of few varieties to flexible production of many varieties in smaller quantities, the complexity of inspections has significantly increased. To address these challenges, MiTAC is committed to developing models with minimal data to reduce false positives and has successfully deployed an AOI Defect Re-Inspection System.
As a participant in the "Asia Silicon Valley Development Agency, ASVDA" initiative, MiTAC collaborates with the Taoyuan Industrial Park to implement various smart IoT applications, focusing on energy conservation and road safety. This effort has successfully reduced energy consumption and environmental emissions while enhancing the safety and efficiency of road users, thus improving the quality and efficiency of public services in the park and laying a crucial foundation for future smart city development.
Pumps serve as inconspicuous aides in our daily lives. The traditional maintenance approach for pumps typically involves manual inspections. However, due to insufficient manpower or human-related factors, regular health checkups for pumps are often neglected. Moreover, pumps are frequently submerged in water or liquids with the risk of corrosion, making inspections challenging. The difficulty in monitoring leads to the unfortunate consequence of large-scale disasters when pump abnormalities are eventually identified, significantly impacting the daily lives of the public.
The Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) system is primarily employed to detect defects in PCB production, such as gaps, short circuits, and open circuits. With the shift from traditional mass production to flexible production with a greater variety of products in smaller quantities, the complexity of defect detection has increased. In response, MiTAC has aimed to establish a model and reduce false positives with minimal data, resulting in the development of an automated optical inspection rejudgment system.
In most traditional manufacturing industries, ensuring the quality of products or workpieces is crucial, beyond the processes of research and production. Through methods such as visual inspection, instrument measurements, pressure testing, as well as initial checks and subsequent inspections, regardless of how many checkpoints the product goes through within the factory, the final product delivered to the customer must be in a fully functional, defect-free, and high-quality condition! However, human attention is limited, and in the repetitive process of operating instruments for measurements and interpreting values, there may inevitably be oversights. When dealing with a large quantity of products, in order to optimize human resources, only sampling is often implemented. The sensitivity to defects can only be assured through statistical methods, without effective means of further improvement.
MiTAC assists CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD in creating a comprehensive corporate battlefield system, providing managers with real-time oversight of the company's operational status for remote control and decision-making.
Situated within a high-risk seismic zone, Taiwan faces a close connection between the safety of bridges and buildings and natural disasters like earthquakes and typhoons. However, the routine inspection of bridges demands a substantial investment of manpower and financial resources, coupled with the challenges of time consumption and potential hazards. Furthermore, acquiring timely structural safety information in the aftermath of natural disasters becomes a formidable task, hindering the formulation of accurate contingency measures.
