For the past four years, Mr. Ho has served as a company and Industry 4.0 champion committed to creating the fab of the future through the acceleration of IoT enabled, A.I. powered smart manufacturing applications. For Ho, A.I. is pivotal to achieving the fab of the future. It is a vision and a journey that starts with developing smarter applications, smarter engineering systems and smart enterprise wide systems with fully connected processes, large data exchange and optimized automation.
Achieving Industry 4.0 will require continued investment in many new IoT, cloud, edge computing platforms as well as new A.I. smart applications that help solve business and manufacturing problems better and quicker than ever before. At the core of this strategic vision is a new, innovative Decision Support System (DSS) technology to be previewed at ITPC and release commercially in the near future. DSS uses A.I to build a powerful knowledge-based system that enables the fully autonomous fab of the future.
