Smart Retail: AUO Retail Cloud Platform Connects Over 30,000 Client Nodes Across the Globe, Resolving Retailers' Pain Points in Operation

As new service models continuously revolutionize the retail industry, the technology landscape is becoming more diversified. To assist retail clients to overcome persistent labor shortage, AUO has integrated its software and hardware services to launch the AUO Retail Cloud Platform. Through this highly integrated platform, retailers can effectively monitor and manage all in-store digital signage and electronic shelf labels via a single system. It is suitable for convenience stores and supermarkets, branded chain stores, large exhibition halls, banks, and other verticals, and connects over 30,000 client nodes globally. It significantly improves operational efficiency and reduces costs. Furthermore, the platform's interconnected functions facilitate dynamic pricing on promotional items, helping retailers to reduce food wastes and optimize inventory management for increased revenue, while supporting businesses in advancing towards paperless, environmental-friendly goals.

At the same time, pairing with energy-efficient digital signage can deliver even better, greener results. AUO's TARTAN 39.8-inch Square Eco Indoor Signage features industry-leading Advanced Reflectionless Technology (A.R.T.), which enhances the contrast ratio in bright rooms and reduces power consumption by 30 percent. For outdoor applications, the state-of-the-art 43-inch High-Brightness Eco Outdoor Signage, with a brightness of 2,500 nits, ensures exceptional readability in sunlight and reduces energy consumption by approximately 15 percent compared to normal displays, thanks to its energy-efficient design. AUO's digital signage, boasting high-resolution image quality and superior brightness, combined with electronic shelf labels, elevates retail space while helping retailers fulfill their sustainability and carbon reduction commitments by reducing labor and material costs associated with replacing print advertisements and minimizing the number of trees cut down.

Smart Education: Interactive Shared Classrooms That Support ADM

The widespread adoption of IFPD (Interactive Flat Panel Display) products and digital textbooks has made classroom teaching more engaging and interactive, envisioning a school environment where teachers can effortlessly conduct interactive lessons and students participate actively. In collaboration with AUO Display Plus (ADP), AUO has developed the AUO Device Management System (ADM), which enhances the management efficiency of interactive classroom devices and addresses the pain points in school device management. ADM's smooth multi-function installation mode and intuitively designed integrated interface allow for the simultaneous management of multiple devices, thereby expanding the reach of educational resources and overcoming the challenges of information dissemination and device monitoring caused by geographical barriers. This system not only fosters a better educational environment for students but also creates an innovative educational model that offers unlimited learning opportunities.

Smart Healthcare: Groundbreaking 3D Imaging Solutions Representing a Giant Leap Forward in Medical Diagnosis

AUO, with its extensive experience in integrating advanced display technology with software and hardware, is at the forefront in healthcare and elderly care applications. At the exhibition, AUO will showcase smart healthcare solutions based on 3D and AmLED® display technologies. These solutions include 3D surgical imaging that caters to various needs, such as clinical operations and education training, the world's first mini LED ultrasound display, and high-end mammography. The mini LED ultrasound display boasts high brightness, high contrast, and wide color gamut, capable of reproducing realistic details even in dark gray-scale images and enhance the accuracy of ultrasound diagnostics. Additionally, AUO's IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) technology enables mammography images to be presented with high resolution and high refresh rates, while also ensuring low power consumption and excellent stability, contributing to energy conservation and carbon reduction.

Sustainability in Action: Creating a Green and Low Carbon Exhibition around the 3R Strategy

Committed to promoting sustainability and echoing Touch Taiwan's green exhibition objectives, AUO is introducing the concept of a circular economy this year, with a sustainable booth design centered on the 3R strategy (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle). This approach includes the extensive use of reusable materials and a simplified frame structure in booth design to decrease carbon emissions; the use of LED displays to replace printed materials, and digital advertising to reduce disposable promotional literature and decorations; the reuse of booth props, channel letters, extending the lifecycle of these products. Through these concrete actions, AUO demonstrates its commitment to sustainability, creating an eco-friendly, sustainable, and low-carbon exhibition environment.

AUO is dedicated to creating pioneering applications across diverse domains with high-value and differentiated products and is accelerating the Company's mission "AUO is not just a panel maker but instead a solutions provider that extends technological innovation across a diverse range of vertical applications". Join Touch Taiwan 2024 and experience the infinite possibilities unlocked by AUO's "Beyond Display.See the Possibilities" showcase.
