On April 17, Phison announced a partnership with Advantech to jointly build the GenAI computing platform. The platform will be dedicated to helping industrial control application customers build safe, reliable and affordable GenAI model ground end equipment to accelerate the development of Industry 4.0 and lead the new era of Industry 5.0 human-machine interaction.

With the emergence of Generative AI/GenAI, the concept of AI assistant continues to spread and expand in all walks of life. Commercial environments, teaching fields, medical fields, lawyers, accountants, banks, and even edge computing and industrial control environments all begin to see various GenAI (Generative AI) applications and schemes. Based on this trend, Phison announced on April 17 that it will work with Advantech to jointly build the GenAI computing platform. Through the exclusive "aiDAPTIV+" technology, the seamless integration of Advantech AI edge computing solutions will help industrial control application customers build safe, reliable and affordable GenAI model ground equipment, accelerating the evolution to the new era of Industry 4.0 and even future Industry 5.0 human-machine interaction.


Advantech AI Edge Computing Solution works with Group Association "aiDAPTIV+" to enhance the capabilities of AI LLM to make AI training models more computationally effective. And provides comprehensive AI deployment software and hardware integration, so that smes can perform mainstream AI LLM computing without expensive hardware configuration, through the cooperation of Edge AI software solutions such as NVIDIA AI Enterprise (NVAIE), Edge AI SDK and DeviceOn. Further refinement of this ecosystem, including pre-trained models, development platforms, tools, and services, effectively facilitates the accessibility of AI applications.

"Our partnership with Qunlian aims to lower the barriers for enterprises to enter the AI space and promote greater possibilities for AI edge computing and training," Zhang Jiahao, General Manager (Global) of Advantech's Embedded iot Platform Business Group, said, "The innovative SQ aiDAPTIV+ seamlessly integrates Advantech's Edge AI SDK and services, reducing the need to use expensive Gpus and VRAM, and making the AI training process smoother. In addition, it gives edge AI applications the potential to seek enterprise or department integration, easily translating AI into practical enterprise solutions."



Pan Jiancheng, CEO of Group Electronics, said that the cooperation between Group and Advantech has been more than 15 years, from the early USB DOM, CF card, SATA SSD, to the latest specifications of PCIe 4.0/5.0 SSD, etc., Group and Advantech's cooperation in edge computing and industrial control systems can be said to be inseparable. This time, the group launched the exclusive patented "aiDAPTIV+" technology, integrating Advantech's AI edge computing solutions, not only can jointly help customers in the global industrial control field to create a "civilian" GenAI solution, accelerate the popularity of smart factory, smart medical, smart logistics and other smart applications. More importantly, we can help customers create a secure and reliable GenAI environment for the next generation of smart life.
