Foxconn: 'Genesis Project' Boosts Smart Manufacturing Efficiency by 50%

According to CNA reporter Zhong Rong-feng, Yang Chiu-chin, head of Foxconn's AI software business group, announced on the morning of the 1st that the company has successfully integrated AI into its smart manufacturing plants through the 'Genesis Project,' resulting in a 50% increase in production line efficiency. Furthermore, by utilizing NVIDIA's Omniverse solution, Foxconn has reduced the development time for AI robots by 60%. This announcement was made during the GTC Taipei event held ahead of the opening of COMPUTEX 2026. Yang emphasized that the company began integrating AI into manufacturing two years ago, achieving significant reductions in error rates and improvements in anomaly detection accuracy. Under the direction of Chairman Young Liu, the company has utilized big data, such as meeting records, as the core for AI applications. By using Omniverse, Foxconn can build and simulate factories in a virtual environment, reducing prototyping costs in the real world. This has increased manufacturing flexibility, allowing for rapid adjustments in response to market demand.
