[Hsinchu, March 19, 2025] — eCloudEdge Digital Innovation Co. Ltd., in collaboration with CloudRiches, Microsoft Taiwan, and Chief Telecom, held the “Building the Future — Realizing Smart Factories with AI Support” event on the 12th. The event brought together industry experts and technical speakers, attracting leading semiconductor manufacturers and tech giants in Hsinchu. It explored how to leverage data and AI technologies across edge and cloud to tackle digital transformation challenges, enhance decision-making efficiency and productivity, and help Taiwan's manufacturing sector build a robust AI ecosystem.
Steven Kuei , Executive Director of CloudRiches, emphasized that with advancements in AI, cloud computing has become the most critical infrastructure to support continuous market demand. The exponential growth in AI’s potential—already expanding from generating images and audio to education, life sciences, and more—requires both technical innovation and strong data governance, infrastructure, and application development. Enterprises must actively invest in foundational AI capabilities and apply them in sectors such as electronics and manufacturing to drive digital transformation. AI is no longer just a technology but a key competitive edge.
Microsoft Taiwan’s Partner Technology Strategist, Philip Chen , noted that manufacturers need reliable data infrastructure to support model transformation. Microsoft Cloud for Manufacturing helps companies digitize production and automate tasks using Microsoft Fabric, enabling real-time data analysis and process optimization. Furthermore, enterprise data security is ensured through encryption, data isolation, and application-level protection.
Breaking Traditional IT Barriers: Transforming Manufacturing Strength into Competitive Advantage
To address OT and IT integration challenges, Rick Peng, Executive Director of eCloudEdge Digital Innovation, pointed out that manufacturing and renewable energy industries must strengthen their OT application data foundations and build comprehensive data integration blueprints.By focusing on OT data extraction (Extract), transformation (Transform), and loading (Load), and combining that with cross-domain orchestration from edge to cloud (Edge Orchestration), enterprises can overcome on-site integration difficulties and streamline AI model deployment. NeoEdge also supports predictive health monitoring of equipment, enabling proactive fault detection and maintenance to avoid unplanned downtime. This leads to higher energy usage efficiency and better operational management performance.
At the seminar, CloudRiches' Edge-Oriented Solution Architect, Selina Hsiao, demonstrated a live integration of NeoEdge with Microsoft Fabric, showcasing how enterprises can achieve end-to-end data collection, processing, and analysis. Raw data is transformed into visually digestible decision-making insights. The demo included real-time data analysis from vibration sensors—covering waveform charts and historical anomaly data—combined with Copilot's natural language querying capabilities to help analyze average productivity per operator. Automated code generation ensured correct and complete script execution, reducing technical barriers and simplifying the data processing workflow. Through multi-variable correlation analysis, enterprises can identify optimal parameter combinations to further streamline production flows and maximize efficiency in smart decision-making and production. For companies concerned with data governance and regulatory risks, cloud-edge joint security frameworks provide multiple layers of cybersecurity to ensure data protection and compliance.

AI Industry Demand is Booming: Igniting the Next Wave of Opportunities and Investment Themes
With the maturity and proliferation of AI technologies, enterprises are seeing a rise in demands for network performance and security under hybrid cloud environments. Chief Telecom’s Product Manager, Wang Zixuan, provided a detailed overview of the technical architecture, including private lines, edge exchange centers, and various multi-cloud connections. He explained how to ensure high-efficiency and stable data transmission for manufacturing environments by leveraging secure and low-latency dedicated connections between major public cloud platforms and private enterprise environments. These technologies not only reduce the cost of hybrid cloud networking but also help enterprises build robust infrastructures that support AI, big data, and media applications with high-volume short-term data bursts.
As Taiwan’s manufacturing sector welcomes a new wave of digital transformation, this seminar offers firsthand insights into the latest technologies and industry trends. Through technical demonstrations and practical case sharing, participants experienced AI applications up close. In the future, CloudRiches will continue to partner with industry to strengthen Taiwan’s AI ecosystem and drive manufacturing toward smarter and more automated operations—together building globally competitive AI smart factories.
