Ainos and ASE Partner to Power AI Scent Digitization in Semiconductor Manufacturing

Ainos, Inc., a leader in AI-driven scent digitization, has announced a strategic collaboration with Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (ASE), the world’s largest provider of semiconductor packaging and testing services. This partnership aims to revolutionize semiconductor manufacturing by leveraging Ainos’ patented AI Nose technology to analyze airborne chemicals into “Smell IDs”, enhancing process efficiency, environmental safety, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) compliance.

With this collaboration, Ainos takes a major step in its mission to digitize scent—expanding its expertise from healthcare applications to industrial automation. AI Nose, originally developed for volatile organic compound (VOC) detection in medical diagnostics, is now expanding to smart factories. By unlocking insights from invisible chemical patterns in the air, AI Nose has the potential to improve manufacturing precision, reduce waste, and drive sustainable operations.

With this partnership, Ainos and ASE will work to integrate AI-powered VOC detection into ASE’s smart factories, transforming air composition data into actionable insights that will:

• Optimize manufacturing processes by detecting subtle changes in air chemistry
• Enable predictive maintenance by identifying early signs of material wear, oxidation, and contamination
• Enhance environmental monitoring to meet stringent ESG regulations and improve workplace safety

ASE, a global leader in semiconductor smart manufacturing, operates 46 fully automated “lights-out” factories and is now taking the next step by integrating AI-powered air intelligence into its advanced manufacturing systems.

“This announcement reinforces ASE’s commitment to AI-driven manufacturing, environmental safety, and ESG excellence. We’re pushing the boundaries of innovation together with Ainos by digitizing scent that will help enhance operational efficiency while advancing sustainability,” says Dr Tien Wu, CEO of ASE.

“AI Nose represents the next evolution in digitizing smell, expanding from healthcare into industrial applications,” said Chun-Hsien (Eddy) Tsai, Chairman, President, and CEO of Ainos. “By harnessing airborne chemical data, we are opening a new frontier in smart manufacturing. Partnering with ASE allows us to transform air chemistry into Smell ID, a real-time insights that empower factories operate cleaner, safer, and smarter.”
