One of the best parts of my job is seeing products we write about being manufactured, whether it be semiconductors, boards, systems, tools, and so on. In many cases, we have to take the manufacturer's word. We can follow up with customers and suppliers, and we do, but seeing the manufacturing actually taking place, and watching the products roll down an assembly line is quite gratifying.

On this episode of Embedded Insiders, we’re featuring a group of AI experts all hailing from vendors based in Taiwan. The vendors, certainly leaders in their own right, are DFI, ASUS IoT, and Shuttle, and they all feature IoT products, or in this case, AIoT products. The event was organized by the International Trade Association (TITA). Give it a listen.

The Intel®️ Core™️ Ultra processors (code named Meteor Lake), coupled with innovative Foveros packaging technology, are setting revolutionary benchmarks in both 3D performance and AI computing, establishing new standards in these domains.

TAIPEI, Taiwan: January 16^th, 2024. DFI, a global leader in embedded motherboards and industrial computers, has announced their participation in the Embedded Tech India Expo for the first time. In collaboration with distribution partner Dynalog, they will be showcasing their range of rugged industrial-grade products, industrial motherboards, and embedded systems. DFI hopes to assist customers and industries in India in achieving their demands for digital transformation and intelligentization.

Product Description:

DFI has leveraged AMD Ryzen™️ Embedded R-Series SoCs to achieve a tiny, versatile Raspberry Pi-like size profile. DFI’s 1.8” SBC PCSF51 is the newest revolutionary miniaturization technology with the AMD Ryzen Embedded R2000 for graphics-demanding, ultra-tiny, and edge computing solutions. Targeted for use in industrial application development, robotics, edge computing, and vision systems, PCSF51 delivers exceptional multi-core performance and brings advanced AI inference capabilities to bear.

DFI has been developing an expansive plan for the Southeast Asian region, centering on India, that in which has been enjoying a rising economy. The company signed a tactical collaboration with six local suppliers. The cooperation’s goals are to expand "brand awareness" and "market share" of industrial automation, networking, defense, transportation, and smart cities.

Taoyuan City. Taiwan. The Taoyuan City Government Department of Transportation, with the help of DFI, created a path forward for rural transportation aptly named the Blissful Bus transformation project. The group ventured to remote populations and developed a solution that helps residents decrease time with a much more effective management platform, to get from point A to point B.
