Last month, the industrial Internet of Things (IoT) business posted double-digit revenue growth, driven by robust demand for physical AI applications such as smart retail, while the intelligent software and solutions business also returned to growth, it said.
The smart factory and facility management business posted triple-digit growth, supported by semiconductor fab projects in North America that boosted demand for integrated and automated supply systems, the company said.
Ennoconn said it has more than NT$215 billion in orders across its industrial IoT, intelligent software and solutions, and smart factory and facility management businesses.
Second-quarter profitability is expected to improve from a year earlier, with first-half earnings also likely to post strong growth, driven by an optimized product mix and improved operating efficiency, an Ennoconn official told the Taipei Times in a telephone interview yesterday.
The company remains cautiously optimistic about its performance in the second half of the year, with growth expected to be driven by demand for AI infrastructure and the continued rollout of physical AI applications, said the official, who declined to be named.
Ennoconn said it has built a value chain spanning AI infrastructure, edge AI and physical AI solutions.
The company said it expects to benefit from the long-term expansion of the physical AI and industrial AI markets while continuing to improve its revenue mix and profitability.
INFRINGEMENT: The investigation comes after a complaint from Vicor Corp, with the company seeking a limited exclusion order as well as cease-and-desist orders, the ITA said The US International Trade Commission (USITC) has launched a Section 337 investigation naming Taiwanese technology companies, including Hon Hai Precision Industry Co (鴻海), Delta Electronics Inc (台達電) and Quanta Computer Inc (廣達), as respondents. The Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) pledged assistance if needed. The USITC said on Friday in a statement that it had voted to institute an investigation under Section 337 of the US Tariff Act of 1930 into certain vertical power delivery systems, related components and computing devices incorporating such systems. The investigation covers 20 companies from Taiwan, China, Germany and the US, the commission said, adding that it
PACKAGING PUSH: The chipmaker said that it would begin ramping up silicon interposer production in New York in the first half of 2028 to support AI systems GlobalFoundries Inc shares gained as much as 7 percent after the chip manufacturer announced a five-year, US$2 billion deal to provide US production capacity to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電). Under the agreement, announced on Thursday, GlobalFoundries is to help supply components known as silicon interposers. The US company is to rely on manufacturing at its facility in Malta, New York, and said it has the option to expand capacity “as customer demand grows.” An interposer is a small layer of silicon that sits between a chip and its packaging. It is home to the wires that carry electronic signals and
A man charged along with Super Micro Computer Inc co-founder Yih-Shyan “Wally” Liaw (廖益賢) of conspiring to send cutting-edge chips to China in violation of US export controls pleaded guilty, court documents said. Ting-Wei “Willy” Sun (孫廷瑋), a former outside contractor described by US authorities as a “fixer” who allegedly aided in the sales, pleaded guilty on Thursday at a hearing in federal court in New York as part of an agreement with prosecutors, court filings showed. Prosecutors claimed the men were part of a scheme to send Nvidia Corp-powered servers to an unnamed Southeast Asian company and then divert them to
