On May 14, 2025, MICROIP (Ticker: 7796-TW), a company specializing in AI and ASIC chip design services, announced its latest advancements in the dual-engine strategy comprising CAPS (Cross-Platform AI Powered Solutions) and CATS (Custom ASIC Technology and Solutions) ahead of COMPUTEX. Additionally, MICROIP revealed a strategic partnership with European AI accelerator chip startup Axelera AI to promote the global application of AI technologies across diverse scenarios.

Chairman Yang Chien-Meng emphasized that since its inception, MICROIP has focused on providing customized ASIC design services. He noted that while many IC design companies claim to offer ASIC services, true expertise requires long-term technical accumulation and experience. MICROIP's self-developed CATS platform has solidified its competitiveness in chip customization. Simultaneously, the introduction of the CAPS platform extends the company's reach into AI application system integration. By integrating CATS and CAPS, MICROIP achieves comprehensive software and hardware design integration, enhancing the industry value chain and offering efficient solutions for global AI smart applications.

Debut of AIVO Platform: Lowering the Barrier to AI Adoption with No-Code Design

A highlight of the event was the first public appearance of MICROIP's self-developed AI vision software platform, AIVO (AI Vision Operation). Designed as a no-code AI vision design environment, AIVO features an intuitive, graphical user interface that allows users without programming backgrounds to train AI models, design processes, and deploy them in real-time through simple drag-and-drop operations. This flexibility makes AIVO suitable for professional engineers and cross-departmental teams, including non-technical users.

AIVO's high adaptability enables applications across various industries, including smart manufacturing SOP monitoring, smart logistics environmental sensing, in-cabin safety monitoring, and sectors like retail and healthcare. This facilitates rapid AI application deployment, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and management precision.

CAPS Platform: Comprehensive AI Software Services

MICROIP's CAPS platform offers extensive scalability, integrating two core capabilities: Edge AI solutions and project-based AI system platforms like AIVO. In the Edge AI domain, CAPS supports various mainstream AIoT chip platforms with different computing powers. Live demonstrations include AI application modules such as facial recognition, skeletal and gesture detection, and smart license plate recognition, showcasing high integration capabilities. For cloud and server-side applications, CAPS has developed project-based AI solutions like AIVO, serving as AI server-type platforms that provide flexible deployment and rapid integration of AI technologies to meet customized intelligent needs across multiple fields. CAPS comprehensively covers AI computing optimization from edge to server, assisting clients in integrating and optimizing AI algorithms across various hardware platforms to enhance performance and deployment efficiency.
