Overcoming AI Adoption Bottlenecks


Taipei, Taiwan, August 14, 2024 - The 2024 Taipei International Industrial Automation Exhibition, Taiwan's premier smart manufacturing event, will take place from August 21st (Wed) to 24th (Sat). Leadtek (2465) will participate with a focus on "Integration and Universality". The company will showcase its self-developed AI management system, AIDMS, and the system's integration with solutions built on the NVIDIA Omniverse platform, digital twins, and NVIDIA-Certified Systems.

AIDMS offers robust integration and compatibility for AI development platforms, enabling cross-platform deployment. The system is applicable to AI cameras, GPU computers/industrial computers, and smartphones, allowing seamless AI visual recognition integration into production lines. This facilitates smart monitoring, machine vision, and industrial inspection applications including object recognition, object tracking, image positioning, anomaly classification, and image analysis, helping fulfill the vision of smart factories powered by physical AI.

Quick Start, Efficient Integration: AIDMS Effectively Reduces AI Implementation Costs

The AIDMS management system integrates mainstream AI deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow, along with a variety of computer vision AI models. It features an intuitive no-code design interface and offers high model extensibility, providing the latest models as they become available. As a resource management platform, it supports simultaneous training by multiple users and allows open-source model code, enabling enterprises to develop, manage, and optimize AI models based on their specific needs. This empowers engineers from diverse technical backgrounds and experts from various domains to collaborate effectively, significantly enhancing development flexibility and efficiency.

Once training is complete, the AIDMS management system offers flexible deployment options to both cloud and edge devices. For cloud deployment, it provides a RESTful API interface, enabling seamless integration with any end device that can tolerate network latency. For edge deployment, it supports the ONNX common format, allowing compatibility with various operating systems (such as Linux, Windows), hardware platforms, and programming languages (such as Python, C#, C++, Java). This broad compatibility facilitates wide-ranging applications in smart devices, automated equipment, and mobile devices, maximizing the scope and applicability of AI. These application advantages will be showcased at this year's automation exhibition.

Dr. Lin Wei-Yen , senior manager of Leadtek stated: "AIDMS has revolutionized the traditional AI project development process. Its no-code interface allows professionals from various fields to focus on utilizing AI for diverse development and applications, thereby increasing project success rates. For enterprises, AIDMS enables more efficient management of the model lifecycle, promotes collaboration among employees, and allocates more resources towards model validation and application. This significantly shortens the time-to-market for AI applications, delivering cost-effective results."

Leadtek and SuperLuminal Pirates Team Up to Showcase Digital Twin Solutions for Accelerated AI Training and Enhanced Public Safety

With the rise of industrial digitalization, developers are looking to new technologies to deliver AI-enabled, physics-based digital twin solutions. By combining AIDMS with solutions built on NVIDIA Omniverse, developers can more easily test and train physical AI in virtual environments. This provides traditional industries with simple, efficient, and effective ways to adopt AI. At this year's Automation Exhibition, Leadtek will collaborate with SuperLuminal Pirates to demonstrate this innovative application, allowing attendees to witness its real-world impact.

SuperLuminal Pirates has developed solutions on NVIDIA Omniverse to create highly realistic digital twin virtual environments. These virtual spaces can be used to generate vast quantities of synthetic visual 3D assets that are indistinguishable from their real-world counterparts. Jesse Chu, the director of SuperLuminal Pirates, shared, "The advantage of this approach is that users are no longer limited by the constraints of the real world. By connecting digital twins to synthetic data generation capabilities, developers can quickly and easily generate large amounts of training data, and the quantification process of this data is more precise and controllable, effectively addressing the challenges of real-world data collection. We utilize these high-quality visual assets to generate a massive amount of visual recognition training data on Leadtek's AIDMS platform. This enables us to train more accurate and reliable visual recognition models, significantly improving training efficiency and making the models more easily adaptable to real-world applications."

This technology, applicable beyond smart factory safety monitoring, can be extended to the realm of public safety. By simulating high-risk scenarios such as fires, explosions, and landslides using tools and applications developed on NVIDIA Omniverse with AIDMS, enterprises can conduct large-scale disaster simulations and testing in a safe environment. This effectively enhances their ability to respond to various disaster situations, further improving public safety.
