The rise of Generative AI has brought a new landscape to the hardware industry. The combination of AI and hardware not only connects the physical and digital worlds but also sparks limitless creativity and market potential.
On July 18, the Shenzhen Institute of Innovation and other organizations hosted a closed-door salon event, where numerous professionals from the AI product sector gathered to engage in lively discussions about the opportunities, challenges, product forms, and globalization prospects of AI smart hardware.
During the event, experts from companies such as Xilinx and Foxconn shared practical examples of AI applications in hardware innovation, exploring how AI technology can be deeply integrated into fields like chips, human recognition, and manufacturing. Meanwhile, the roundtable discussions and lightning talks further elaborated on the immense potential of AI smart hardware in enhancing creativity, work efficiency, and even emotional value.
The insightful presentations and in-depth discussions from the guests provided attendees with valuable insights and inspiration, while also illuminating the path for the future development of AI smart hardware. As technology continues to advance and the market expands, the integration of AI and hardware will spark even more innovation and create astonishing products and solutions.
According to data from Canalys and IDC, as major smartphone and computer manufacturers continue to roll out new stories about “AI integration,” both markets have finally broken a trend of decline, achieving growth in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, respectively.
Additionally, smart home products such as learning machines, reading pens, speakers, and even desk lamps have seen a rise in sales or unit prices due to the integration of AI technology.
While many of these hardware products are being redesigned with AI technology, some are striving to overturn the old world: upgrading existing hardware products with AI is a feasible path, but creating AI-native hardware from the ground up seems to carry even greater significance.
China is renowned as the “world’s factory,” boasting the largest manufacturing capacity for components globally. However, this has led to intense low-price competition within the manufacturing sector, leaving many companies trapped in a vicious cycle. We believe that the future of custom parts should not be limited to a single price competition.
In this context, Leanplans aims to be the water supplier for gold miners in the AI+ hardware space, providing robust support for enterprises that are continuously exploring and innovating in this field.
LeanPlans focuses on custom production of non-standard components, striving to break through the limitations of traditional manufacturing and offering a complete service from design to delivery. Our goal is to help clients achieve faster, better, and more cost-effective production solutions when facing small-batch, custom production demands.
The traditional custom parts industry often struggles with handling small-batch and prototype orders: large manufacturers find it challenging to adjust their processes and are reluctant to accept small orders, while smaller firms struggle to ensure delivery quality and timelines.
In light of this situation, the focus of industry development should shift from price wars to how to provide customers with higher-quality flexible production services, competing with the aim of value creation.
The AI technology of Leanplans is at the core of this transformation. By injecting intelligence into every production step of hardware, we provide customers with a one-stop flexible production smart solution that encompasses everything from order receipt, design, and processing to delivery, ensuring the highest quality standards and the fastest delivery speeds.
The Leanplans AI Assistant can quickly generate product renderings from scratch, conduct 3D modeling, assess manufacturability, and calculate production costs, while also offering expert-level Q&A services when needed. These capabilities cover the entire hardware production process, significantly reducing design and development time, while effectively enhancing quality and lowering costs.
Moreover, Leanplans combines digital systems and cloud factories to provide customers with the highest quality standards and the fastest delivery speeds. We aim to fully connect upstream and downstream enterprises through the power of artificial intelligence, establishing an efficient AI+ hardware ecosystem that meets the demands of the customization era.
Leanplans is eager to collaborate closely with companies and research institutions across the industry, focusing on personnel development, technological innovation, business model innovation, and user-friendly AI applications and overall solutions, providing a continuous supply of resources for the gold miners in the smart hardware field.
