  • Implementing Smart Upgrades throughout Full Manufacturing Processes to Create Efficient Digital Supply Chains

Looking back over the past three years, the global community has faced unprecedented macroeconomic challenges such as the pandemic, geopolitical instability, global inflationary pressure, and interest rate hikes, which resulted in significant impacts worldwide, which further posed severe trials for the industry supply chains. As a leading global provider of display solutions, AUO has been dedicated to the long-term digital transformation and upgrade of its factories. Through smart research and development, optimized supply chain management, digital manufacturing, and warehouse logistics, AUO has comprehensively optimized its product manufacturing process. This has resulted in a significant improvement in production efficiency and information flow. In 2021, AUO Longtan Plant achieved a record-high yield rate and also achieved full on-time deliveries without delays throughout the whole year.

In the smart research and development aspect, AUO developed a color saturation simulation system and integrated big data analysis algorithms. This system enables simulations related to material selection to be made and predicts customer preferences for color and material transparency in advance. As a result, the efficiency of the design phase has improved by 83%. Moreover, AUO established standardized component databases for front end panel production with layout design algorithms. This successful integration has resulted a 50% time reduction during photomask design.

In terms of supply chain optimization, AUO achieved complete product lifecycle management through the seamless integration of business orders, procurement management, and suppliers. By achieving material cost transparency, AUO oversees the overall cost during product designing phase. With the assistance of smart pricing estimation system, AUO assists customers by reducing price estimation time by 85%. Additionally, by leveraging resource optimization models, AUO can endeavor to fulfill orders and provide stable and reliable supply chain support for its customers.

In the digital manufacturing phase, AUO has undergone comprehensive smart upgrades in production scheduling, equipment maintenance, process quality, and defect detection. To overcome capacity limitations and the complexity of scheduling, AUO utilizes a data-driven smart scheduling system. This system enhances the proactivity and adaptability of production scheduling. In addition, AUO utilizes smart interconnected devices such as SPIIDER, AI-based Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) platform, and mixed reality (MR) technology for remote equipment maintenance. These technologies have resulted in a 10% increase in equipment utilization rate, 20% reduction in unplanned downtime, and the implementation of bionic collaborative robots to assist with equipment maintenance. This has enabled standardized operations and significantly reduced human-related risks. AUO boasts rigorous quality control in its processes, and accordingly utilizes automated machine learning (AutoML) to identify key factors that affect yield rates at an early stage. AUO also implements intelligent inspection and repair systems for fully automated defect recognition, localization, and repair. This approach resolves issues related to inconsistent human visual inspection standards while reducing manpower hours by 66%.

In warehouse and logistics management, AUO has implemented two key technologies: digital twin technology and smart automation.
