At Hon Hai Tech Day in Taipei, NVIDIA Founder and CEO Jensen Huang (left) and Foxconn Chairman and CEO Young Liu announced a collaboration to accelerate the AI industrial revolution.
This involves Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) integrating NVIDIA technology to develop a new class of data centres powering a wide range of applications such as digitalisation of manufacturing and inspection workflows, development of AI-powered electric vehicle (EV) and robotics platforms, and a growing number of language-based generative AI services.
Foxconn will create AI factories based on the NVIDIA accelerated computing platform, including the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software.
The partnership is testimony of the strong bond between Foxconn and NVIDIA that began in the consumer space and has grown solidly into the enterprise space in the age of AI.
“Most importantly, NVIDIA and Foxconn are building these factories together. We will be helping the whole industry move much faster into the new AI era,” said Liu.
Its Smart EV will be built on NVIDIA Drive Hyperion 9, a next-generation platform for autonomous automotive fleets, powered by the NVIDIA Drive Thor automotive systems-on-a-chip.
Foxconn Smart Manufacturing robotic systems will be built on the NVIDIA Isaac autonomous mobile robot platform, while Foxconn Smart City will incorporate the NVIDIA Metropolis intelligent video analytics platform.
“A new type of manufacturing has emerged — the production of intelligence. And the data centres that produce it are AI factories. We are delighted to expand our decade-long partnership with Foxconn to accelerate the AI industrial revolution,” said Huang.
