Shihao Team Attends Foxconn's 2025 SMT Advanced Technology Exchange Conference to Discuss AI and Digital Empowerment for the Future

Shihao Technology is a high-tech enterprise specializing in precision electronic manufacturing solutions, providing global clients with comprehensive solutions spanning process development, smart manufacturing, and full-chain optimization. The company consistently drives innovation through dual engines of technological advancement and customer value, boasting extensive expertise in SMT, test automation, and digital factories.

On December 20, 2024, the Shihao team was invited to Vietnam to participate in the “2025 SMT Advanced Technology Exchange Conference” hosted by Foxconn Technology Group. This conference brought together leading enterprises and technical experts from the global electronics manufacturing sector to explore technological innovation and development pathways in the new era of smart manufacturing. The Shihao team engaged in in-depth discussions with industry partners and shared insights on precision processes and digital production.

Conference Focuses on “3+3+3=∞” Strategy to Chart New Manufacturing Blueprint

Centered on the theme “Proactively Advancing the ‘3+3+3=∞’ Strategy to Drive Diversified Development and Global Competitiveness,” this conference focused on Foxconn's core development strategy. This strategy revolves around three emerging industries—electric vehicles, digital health, and robotics—three new technology domains—artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and next-generation mobile communications—and three smart platforms—smart manufacturing, smart electric vehicles, and smart cities.

In the opening address, a representative from Foxconn Technology Group stated: “We stand at a pivotal juncture in the transformation and upgrading of manufacturing. Through the deep integration of the ‘3+3+3’ strategy, we will unlock infinite possibilities. AI and digital technologies are not merely tools—they are the core drivers reshaping the manufacturing value chain.”

In-Depth Discussion: How Can AI Integrate into Precision Manufacturing? How Can Digitalization Empower the Entire Production Chain?

During the thematic seminar, experts engaged in an in-depth dialogue centered on the core topic of “how to integrate AI into precision manufacturing and empower the entire production chain through digitalization.” Representatives from the Shihao team highlighted during the exchange:

“AI's role in precision manufacturing is evolving from an ‘auxiliary tool’ to a ‘core driver.’ In the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) field, AI vision inspection systems now achieve micron-level defect detection. Machine learning algorithms dynamically optimize reflow soldering parameters, while digital twin technology shifts production line debugging from ‘physical trial-and-error’ to ‘virtual validation.’ This technological convergence not only boosts efficiency but redefines quality standards in precision manufacturing.”

Regarding end-to-end digital empowerment, participating experts reached the following consensus:

Data integration is fundamental: Break down data silos across equipment, control, and management layers by establishing unified data standards.

Intelligent decision-making is key: Achieve smart optimization from supply chain to production scheduling through industrial internet platforms.

Human-machine collaboration is the future: Deeply integrate AI systems with process expert knowledge to develop adaptive manufacturing capabilities.

What value can Shihao deliver to you through AI and digitalization?

During the conference, the Shihao team showcased innovative solutions in precision electronics manufacturing and engaged in technical exchanges with multiple international enterprises. A Shihao representative stated:

"Attending this conference, we deeply sense that global manufacturing is undergoing profound transformation driven by AI and digitalization. For Shihao, this is not only an opportunity for learning and exchange but also a crucial moment to clarify our future technological development direction. We will continue deepening our investments in the following areas:

AI + Precision Processes: Developing smarter, more adaptive process control systems.

Digital Twin Applications: Building a digital twin system covering the entire product lifecycle.

Industrial Internet Platform: Creating an open, collaborative manufacturing ecosystem.

We believe true smart manufacturing isn't merely about automation upgrades, but about creating measurable, sustainable value enhancement for customers through technological convergence."

During this Vietnam visit, the Shihao team not only gained cutting-edge industry insights but also strengthened ties with global partners. Facing the historic opportunity of intelligent transformation in manufacturing, Shihao will continue to uphold the philosophy of “technological innovation and value creation,” collaborating with customers and partners to advance the deep application of AI and digital technologies in precision manufacturing.
