AIDC's Decade of Digital Transformation Culminates in Award-Winning Smart Platform Success
Taiwan's Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) commenced its digital transformation in 2015. Its "Aerospace AIxWARE Digital Transformation Manufacturing Information Security Dual-Axis Smart Platform" received the 2025 IT Matters Awards' "Digital Transformation Award" and was recognized by President Lai Ching-te on April 13, who received AIDC's General Manager Chuang Hsiu-mei. The platform, based on AIDC's aerospace manufacturing expertise, integrates AIoT, AI, MES, ESG, and cybersecurity technologies. It has been commercialized as a service platform, incorporating 77 generative AI applications, leading to an average 20% increase in production line utilization, over 8% annual energy savings, and 130,000 man-hours saved. The platform has aided over 40 manufacturers in industries such as plastic injection molding, precision machining, plumbing hardware, and medical equipment in their digital transformation. AIDC is also the first Taiwanese company to achieve US CMMC Level 2 military-grade cybersecurity certification.

Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) stated that its digital transformation, initiated in 2015, has culminated in a decade of efforts, moving from "Manufacturing AIDC" to "Smart AIDC." The company recently received a Digital Transformation Award and was received by President Lai Ching-te. The "Aerospace AIxWARE Digital Transformation Manufacturing Information Security Dual-Axis Smart Platform" developed by AIDC has assisted over 40 manufacturers in industries including precision machining, plumbing hardware, and medical equipment in their digital transformation.
AIDC announced today in a press release that it participated in the 2025 IT Matters Awards, guided by the Ministry of Digital Affairs, and won the "Digital Transformation Award" last year. General Manager Chuang Hsiu-mei represented AIDC in receiving the recognition from President Lai Ching-te on April 13.
AIDC explained that the award-winning "Aerospace AIxWARE Digital Transformation Manufacturing Information Security Dual-Axis Smart Platform" is built on AIDC's years of aerospace manufacturing process experience, integrating AIoT machine networking, AI, and MES technologies, while also considering ESG and information security. It has been successfully commercialized as a service-type industry platform and expanded to incorporate generative AI applications, bringing benefits such as visualization, production optimization, and predictability. Managers can instantly grasp machine data and use AI to assist in making accurate decisions.
From an industry benefit perspective, AIDC noted that AIxWARE has connected over 60 brands and more than 2000 machines and controllers. Production line utilization has increased by an average of 20%, annual energy consumption has decreased by over 8%, and 77 generative AI applications have been implemented, saving approximately 130,000 man-hours annually and improving operational efficiency. Currently, it has assisted over 40 manufacturers in industries such as plastic injection molding, precision machining, plumbing hardware, and medical equipment with their digital transformation.
Furthermore, as a key player in the national defense and international aerospace supply chain, AIDC is the first Taiwanese manufacturer to pass US CMMC Level 2 military-grade information security certification, setting a milestone for Taiwan with high cybersecurity standards.
AIDC emphasized that digital transformation has been clearly listed as one of its development strategies. In addition to developing large-scale application platforms, the company is internally holding an "AI Innovation Application Hackathon Competition" to encourage various departments to deeply apply AI tools in their work scenarios through selection and reward systems.
