Revolutionizing smart logistics with innovative ATX motherboard technology

In recent years, the e-commerce has soared because of the exponential growth of Omni channel strategies. As a result, high efficient supply chain management and flexible inventory management have become the key to success for every logistics companies. Companies now grapple with challenges like scattered orders, concentrated arrivals, strict logistics deadlines, and the cost control pressures. They are keen to find out a way to optimize labor costs, enhance transportation efficiency, reduce delivery times, and maximize the benefits of warehousing and logistics. The retail, manufacturing, and e-commerce industries all are reliant on robust logistics systems to drive business growth. Smart logistics has become a key term for industry advancement, driving the logistics industry to accelerate digital transformation, which requires adopting smart logistics management solutions. With the adoption of technologies as big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) , the industry aims to meet the increasingly complex demands of the market.

The NaviFUS System developed by NaviFUS Corp. has shown great potential to treat recurrent glioblastoma multiforme and epilepsy, which both lack effective therapies. There are approximately 10,000 brain tumor patients in the United States, and their predicted survival is no more than 12-18 months. There are also approximately 200,000 epilepsy patients in Taiwan, in which one third cannot be treated with standard medication. Applications of ultrasound have grown beyond traditional diagnostic uses, making it an intriguing technology in the medical treatments space; for example, ultrasound in aesthetic medicine has matured into a Red Ocean market, while recent studies in clinical applications of focused ultrasound in brain diseases suggest a nascent Blue Ocean market with great potential. NaviFUS Corp. will begin a Phase III clinical trial in Taiwan and Phase II clinical trial in the United States to treat brain cancer and epilepsy, and NaviFUS Corp. will also seek patent sublicensing and joint development agreements with major companies worldwide.

The defeat of the world go champion by artificial intelligence (AI) program AlphaGo took the world by surprise. Since then, AI applications have expanded and concordantly large-scale computing applications have also become crucial. In the four short years since its establishment, NEUCHIPS has become a prominent IC design company in Taiwan for AI accelerators. The company focuses on purpose-built AI accelerator chips in its research and development. Under the leadership of the Chairman Dr. Youn-Long Lin, it has overcome the challenges of the pandemic in the last 3 years and the results of its research and development have been remarkable this year in Taiwan and abroad. Its built-in patented compression technology for customized chips significantly reduced the memory requirements while retaining high precision and ultra-low power consumption; the chips' performance rival that of the major AI company NVIDIA. During this period, NEUCHIPS has been one of only two IC designers in Taiwan to have commenced production with TSMC's 7nm process.

Climate change has shaken the world. Taiwan as an island is no exception and has been stricken with rising heat, abnormal weather patterns, and drought. In the last two years, Taiwan has seen such severe droughts that the central government set up a drought emergency response center to take all necessary measures to conserve water.
