<p>Taiwan AI Academy was established in 2018. Since then we have collaborated with 300 instructors and trained over 1,700 companies, cumulating over 8,000 alumni from across different industries and regions. As such, Taiwan AI Academy has become one of the world’s leading institutes promoting industry participation in the field of artificial intelligence.</p>
<p>Employees from across a wide range of industries are sent to us for training and often return to the company to launch new and successful AI projects. The scope of our courses has extended from simple optimization of the production line and associated process to encompass other processes and aspects of business operations, including finance, sales, and warehouse management.</p>

<dt>-  Textile industry</dt>
<dd><img src=/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/001.jpg alt="Textile industry" />In the past, Everest Textile Co., Ltd. had to rely on the judgment of experienced employees and the human eye to detect color changes during the dyeing and finishing process in textile production. After receiving training at Taiwan AI Academy, several senior executives and technicians successfully integrated AI “color-matching” technology into the dying process and also utilized AI image recognition for cloth inspection, saving approximately 50% in manpower and recovering their investment within six months.

<dt>-  Petrochemical industry</dt>
<dd><img src=/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/002.jpg alt="Petrochemical industry" />Within the petrochemical industry, the greatest hurdle to AI integration lies in the careful control of various parameters (e.g., temperature) during the oil refining process - the raw materials are highly complex, with hundreds of parameters to consider.<br>
<br>
The Formosa Plastics Group had collaborated with several well-known software companies in the past, yet the convoluted processes would always stump the software engineers.<br>
<br>
The problem persisted until an ad hoc team from the Formosa Plastics Group was sent to Taiwan AI Academy for training. Deeply familiar with the oil-refining process, the employees were able to develop a working algorithm within a year and significantly increased the revenue generated from a single refinery tank.<br>
<br>
The algorithm eventually became the model for AI applications in oil refineries across the world.<br>

<dt>-  Aquaculture</dt>
<dd><img src=/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/003.jpg alt="Aquaculture industry" />AI has wide-reaching potential even within the aquaculture industry. Apollo Aquatic is the first aquaculture farm in Taiwan to obtain an EU certification and after being introduced to AI technology, they were able to conserve 50% of the energy required to maintain milkfish breeding ponds. An AI warning system also alerted the farm on potential losses due to climate factors at least two days prior.<br>

<dt>-  Healthcare</dt>
<dd><img src=/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/004.jpg alt="Healthcare industry" />Trainees from the Taichung Branch of Taipei Veterans General Hospital collaborated with Tung-Hai University to generate early warning reports in order to alert staff if a patient’s health deteriorates. Artificial intelligence was used to assist the healthcare team, allowing them to quickly identify patients with rapidly deteriorating conditions and provide timely medical intervention. The application is expected to save the lives of 900 patients every year, and is a prime example of Taiwan AI Academy’s participation in university-industry collaboration within the medical field.</dd>
