The company, purporting to be a leader in AI-powered scent digitization, today announced a strategic partnership with NEXCOM International Co., Ltd., a leader in industrial computing and edge AI solutions, to advance the integration of Ainos' AI Nose technology into NEXCOM's industrial edge computing platforms.
Under the partnership, Ainos will provide AI Nose hardware and software for integration into NEXCOM's edge AI and automation systems, enabling real-time environmental sensing across manufacturing and industrial applications.
