Microvast Holdings announces departure of chief financial officer
SAN DIEGO, CA - Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIMD)(NASDAQ:AIMDW), specializing in AI-powered scent digitization, has announced a strategic collaboration with Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (ASE), the world’s largest semiconductor packaging and testing services provider. With a current market capitalization of $6.48 million and trading below its InvestingPro Fair Value, this micro-cap company’s partnership is set to utilize Ainos’ AI Nose technology to enhance efficiency and safety in semiconductor manufacturing.
The AI Nose technology, which was initially developed for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in medical diagnostics, is now being tailored for industrial applications, specifically in smart factories. While the technology’s ability to identify different VOCs with high accuracy has already been demonstrated in Japanese semiconductor facilities, with successful detection of 22 VOCs at nearly 80% accuracy, investors should note that InvestingPro data shows the company is currently burning through cash rapidly, with an EBITDA of -$9.04 million in the last twelve months.
Ainos’ collaboration with ugo, Inc., Japan’s largest service robot company, has also led to the development of the world’s first robot with a sense of smell, expanding the potential applications of AI Nose in industries such as industrial safety and public security.
The integration of AI Nose into ASE’s smart factories aims to transform air composition data into actionable insights for optimizing manufacturing processes, enabling predictive maintenance, and enhancing environmental monitoring. ASE operates 46 fully automated "lights-out" factories and is now looking to integrate AI-powered air intelligence into its advanced manufacturing systems.
Dr. Tien Wu, CEO of ASE, emphasized the company’s commitment to AI-driven manufacturing and ESG excellence, while Chun-Hsien (Eddy) Tsai, Chairman, President, and CEO of Ainos, highlighted the transformative potential of digitizing scent for smart manufacturing.
Under the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Ainos and ASE will refine AI-powered VOC detection for semiconductor environments and plan for a large-scale deployment of AI Nose across ASE’s operations. This collaboration is expected to solidify Ainos’ position as a leader in AI-powered smart factory solutions and open new revenue streams by expanding beyond healthcare applications. According to InvestingPro, which offers 11 additional investment tips for AIMD, the company faces significant challenges with a -153.73% gross profit margin and analysts anticipating sales decline in the current year.
