Empowered by the Startup Terrace Kaohsiung AWS Joint Innovation Center (JIC), eNeural is redefining the landscape of edge AI with two flagship innovations - AI-Craft, an automated AI development platform, and an edge AI self-learning solution. These breakthroughs aim to make AI truly self-learning and self-evolving, helping industries overcome long-standing barriers in deploying AI at the edge.As AI applications rapidly expand across industries, enterprises have realized that beyond computing power, the biggest barriers to AI implementation lie in the high cost and lengthy cycle of model training. For system integrators, success increasingly depends on the ability to integrate optimized AI models into lightweight edge devices to deliver reliable inference services in real time.A spin-off startup from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), eNeural combines strong academic research foundations with practical AI R&D experience. The company has already forged partnerships with major electronics manufacturers including Quanta, Compal, and Lite-On, and is collaborating with a North American e-commerce logistics fleet on developing an AI-based collision warning system.According to eNeural CEO Eric Huang, edge devices are typically designed to be small, lightweight, and energy-efficient, which makes AI model optimization particularly challenging. "Our AI-Craft platform provides a one-stop, modular, and standardized AI development workflow," said Huang. "It allows developers to automatically generate optimized models as efficiently as products rolling off an intelligent production line."Edge AI self-learning accelerates model optimization and reduces costsFounded in 2022, eNeural focuses on proprietary AI technology R&D, with AI-Craft serving as the backbone of its innovation. The platform integrates four key technology modules - automated annotation, model pruning, model quantization, and generative AI data augmentation - to make AI development faster, more scalable, and more energy-efficient.Using pre-trained AI models and advanced image analysis algorithms, AI-Craft boosts data labeling efficiency by 10 to 100 times, significantly shortening AI project launch time. Model pruning removes redundant parameters to enhance computational efficiency by up to 90% without compromising accuracy, while reducing the memory and processor load.Model quantization converts floating-point operations into 8-bit, 4-bit, or even 2-bit precision, dramatically lowering power consumption and enabling smooth deployment of AI models on compact edge devices. Meanwhile, generative AI data augmentation automatically creates training data for rare yet critical conditions - such as night, rain, snow, or backlight - improving AI model robustness and generalization.Traditionally, AI models deployed on edge devices must send large amounts of data back to the cloud for retraining - a process that consumes time and resources. eNeural's Edge AI Self-Learning technology allows models to learn and recalibrate autonomously in real time, reducing the need for cloud data transfer."For example," Huang explained, "when fleet vehicles operate under different weather, lighting, or road conditions, the AI model can automatically adjust its decision logic to maintain accuracy. With federated learning, training results are securely shared across thousands of vehicles." This innovation reduces retraining cycles from months to weeks and significantly lowers AI operation and maintenance costs.AWS JIC Accelerates cloud transformation and strategic collaborationSince joining the AWS JIC in 2025, eNeural has leveraged the expertise of AWS specialists to upgrade its AI-Craft platform using Amazon SageMaker, a fully managed machine learning (ML) service, and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) GPU computing power. This transformation has turned AI-Craft into a cloud-based development solution, enabling developers to perform automated annotation, model pruning, and quantization in the cloud. With dynamic AWS resource allocation, eNeural can efficiently run multiple AI projects in parallel with greater scalability and cost efficiency.Participation in the AWS JIC program has also opened doors for new business collaborations. Huang shared that while earlier partnership talks with Advantech did not progress, joining the AWS JIC program led to the successful signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the two companies in 2025. Under this collaboration, eNeural will feature its two flagship AI solutions on Advantech's Marketplace, paving the way for deeper engagement with system integrators worldwide.Beyond Taiwan, eNeural is actively expanding into the U.S., Japan, and India. Leveraging AWS's global cloud infrastructure and innovation ecosystem, the company is pursuing a "software-driven core + hardware collaboration" strategy, collaborating with global players to unlock new opportunities in the rapidly growing edge AI market.

As global urbanization accelerates and populations significantly age, cities worldwide are investing heavily in smart city development.

With the emergence of Vision-Language Models (VLM) combined with generative AI, smart city applications have entered a new phase - enabling systems to automatically interpret traffic flow, pedestrian behavior, and unexpected incidents from video footage, and thereby supporting real-time decision-making.In his keynote address ahead of COMPUTEX 2025 in Taipei, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang highlighted Kaohsiung's "Smart Kaohsiung Lighthouse Project," which leverages a VLM-based digital twin architecture to interconnect tens of thousands of city surveillance cameras, significantly improving the efficiency and service capabilities of the municipal government. The key technology driving this initiative comes from Linker Vision, a company renowned for its expertise in computer vision technology.Joining the NVIDIA ecosystem to advance smart applicationsWith more than a decade of experience in AI-powered image recognition, Linker Vision has become a trusted partner for many leading global brands. Following the rapid rise of generative AI in 2023, the company began applying VLM's powerful visual comprehension and semantic reasoning capabilities to achieve a deeper understanding of real-world scenes.Unlike traditional object recognition models, VLM can identify a broad range of objects without additional training while discerning contextual relationships among them. This enables the system to detect complex incidents and assess damage that conventional models often fail to recognize. Building on its solid foundation in visual recognition, Linker Vision utilizes VLM's multimodal data processing capabilities to develop a suite of solutions for smart city and smart factory applications.Yi-Ting Liu, Senior Sales Manager at Linker Vision, explained that the company's smart factory solutions are designed to address enterprises' dual challenges of improving workplace safety and operational efficiency. In smart safety applications, the system can accurately detect fires, chemical leaks, or safety violations - such as workers entering restricted areas or failing to wear protective gear - and even identify complex behaviors like "smoking within a restricted zone," triggering composite alerts in real time. Beyond safety, the solution also monitors employee productivity, status, and compliance with standard operating procedures (SOPs), providing factory managers with a visualized, data-driven management tool that effectively reduces human error.Building global presence through AWSLinker Vision has built its solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS) for many years, achieving outstanding results in the smart city and smart factory domains through modular and standardized system architectures. Yi-Hsuan Lin, Product Manager at Linker Vision, noted that the company extensively utilizes AWS's AI computing power and services, including Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), and Amazon Bedrock, a fully managed service that offers a choice of high-performing foundation models (FMs) and tools to deploy and operate agents.The key advantage, Lin said, lies in AWS's on-demand flexibility, which enables the team to access the latest GPU resources anywhere in the world, substantially reducing hardware procurement and maintenance costs. When conducting proof-of-concept (PoC) trials across borders, deployments can be launched instantly on AWS's local infrastructure closest to customers, eliminating the time and expense required for purchasing and installing physical hardware. Amid the global push toward Sovereign AI, Linker Vision also offers hybrid cloud and on-premises services, helping enterprises optimize AI models, develop tailored solutions, and ensure data privacy compliance.Expanding internationally with AWS JIC supportLiu emphasized that participation in the AWS Joint Innovation Center (JIC) has laid a strong foundation for Linker Vision's market development and international expansion. Beyond providing abundant cloud resources and technical expertise, the JIC offers a comprehensive set of empowerment services, including business networking, corporate matchmaking, and marketing exposure, helping Linker Vision connect with strategic partners and accelerate business growth.With rapid momentum in the Taiwan market, the company now aims to expand globally-targeting the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the United States-to capture the vast opportunities in smart city and smart factory development.
