(Central News Service 20240425 14:15:47) Taiwan Mobile integrates innovation DNA into its corporate culture, encourages employees to find inspiration from daily work, and incubates and strengthens various innovative proposals. The third “Innovation Challenge Day” was held recently, with the theme of “Impressing Customers and Showing Highlights”, encouraging employees to form cross-department teams to compete and conduct POC (Proof of Concept, proof of concept) before product development. This year’s “Innovation Challenge Day” raised a total of 34 innovative proposals, covering AI, big data, ESG and other fields. Among them, “One-click activation: smart package for new employees” won the first prize in this intermediate POC. Efficient logistics transformation proposals driven by AI and big data, and green transformation proposals incorporating ESG trends also stood out in the competition. National Taiwan University’s third “Innovation Challenge Day” had a total of 22 awards, with a total bonus of more than NT$700,000. It attracted more than 200 employees to participate on-site and 500 colleagues to observe through the online platform.
Innovation DNA is the key to sustainable development. Make good use of AI “laziness” to promote the incubation of innovative ideas.
Taiwan Mobile General Manager Lin Zhichen pointed out at the “Innovation Challenge Day” that innovation should be regarded as a result rather than a means, and innovation is not only an innovation in technology and products, but also a change in the way of thinking. In an era where technology is evolving rapidly and everything is changing rapidly, having innovative DNA is the key to achieving sustainable development for individuals, enterprises and even society as a whole. Therefore, Taiwan University encourages employees to deeply observe the market and technology insiders, steal the ideas, and develop innovative solutions through trial and exploration to create greater value for all stakeholders such as users, partners, colleagues, and shareholders. .
General Manager Lin also mentioned that the progress of human civilization comes from the pursuit of simpler solutions. This kind of thinking starting from “laziness” stimulates humans to constantly look for more innovative ways to solve the inconveniences in life, and stimulates inventors and innovators to develop new technologies and tools to simplify tasks or reduce workload, such as: remote controls or Automation is the product of the concept of “laziness”. “Laziness” has played a central role in the evolution of human civilization. Therefore, Taiwan University encourages colleagues to borrow the concept of “laziness” and find innovative methods, products or services that can achieve the greatest goals with the least effort. With the booming development of generative AI, Taiwanese companies are also using AI and other tools to improve work efficiency, allowing colleagues to have more time and energy to devote to creative work, speeding up problem solving, and helping ideas to be launched as early as possible. Taiwan University will continue to invest resources to incubate innovative proposals and assist Taiwan University’s Telco+ Tech strategy.
AI and big data drive enterprises to improve efficiency and ESG green transformation
This year’s “Innovation Challenge Day” competition categories are divided into “Intermediate POC” and “Junior Proposal”. Half of the proposals are proposals from the innovation event “OP Hacker Festival” in August last year, and are an optimization extension of efforts towards implementation and process online. Lin Zhichen, the general manager of Taiwan, and the vice presidents of each business group served as judges to conduct scoring and awards. The first prize of the “Intermediate POC Award” was “One-click activation: Smart package for new employees to join the job”, which saves time and manpower by simplifying the process. Cost, allowing employees to get involved in work faster, the award was presented by Taiwan’s Chief Financial Officer Zhang Jiaqi; the “Junior Proposal Award” was selected by 6 teams, covering sports technology, personal exclusive policy products and services, small purchase requisitions, and base stations Maintenance operations, picking and shipping operations are simplified and intelligent; in addition, the “ESG Increase Award” is provided by the “Energy Saving Manager” that collects base station power consumption information and environmental information to control the environment, and the expansion of the warehousing system Two teams of the “Smart Tally Assistant” won the award for the smart tally platform, which promotes paperlessness, improves tally timeliness, and realizes ESG efficient logistics.
Innovation focuses on AI, big data, and ESG fields and has awarded more than 3 million innovation awards in total.
Taiwan University will comprehensively upgrade the innovation proposal system in 2020, expand the capacity for innovation, and integrate innovation DNA into the company culture. The “Innovation Management Group” chaired by Chairman Tsai Ming-chung will provide overall guidance and a “Kebu” composed of middle- and senior-level executives of the public institutions. Le Group” recruits and coaches innovative proposals, and the ESG Group guides the development direction of various innovative proposals on ESG issues. Activities such as “Innovation Challenge Day” and “OP Hacker Festival” are held regularly every year to encourage employees to find inspiration from work. , expand innovation capacity. This “Innovation Challenge Day” depends on the maturity of the proposal and distinguishes the proportion of different evaluation projects, which are divided into “Junior Proposal Award” and “Intermediate POC Award”, as well as 22 items including ESG Increase Award, General Manager Increase Award, and Kepler Incubation Award. Awards, a total of more than 700,000 in bonuses have been awarded, and Taiwan University has awarded a total of more than 3 million in innovation awards to date.
Taiwan University’s third Innovation Challenge Day has many proposals related to AI-generated videos and big data analysis. In response to the need for AI tools with high-speed processing capabilities in the POC verification stage, Taiwan University invited CEO of Taiwan Intelligent Cloud, Zhou Binghui, to share “AI “Supercomputing Acceleration Plan, Innovative Applications”, using Taiwan Intelligent Cloud cloud solutions to conduct trial productions of AI-generated images, increasing processing power by nearly 70%, and discussing AI technology and computing power applications with the innovation teams present.
Long-term incubation of innovative proposals, combined with mo coins, AI generation and other aspects, to continuously expand super 5G innovation
Taiwan Mobile not only encourages employees to actively participate in innovation, but also provides long-term guidance on the subsequent optimization and implementation of proposals. MyMoji 3D virtual avatar modeling, which won the award at the first Innovation Challenge Day, not only optimized and launched the “AI mobile selfie modeling” function, but also expanded new business models. It has accumulated over 10,000 members and experiences so far, and nearly 20,000 sets of virtual avatars. Download stickers, and cooperate with partners including governments, schools, charities, etc. to expand more creative applications. The AI-generated onomatopoeia “MyVoice Service” that participated in the 2nd OP Hacker Festival not only shined in innovative activities, but also used AI to generate Guo Meuchun’s simulated voice to sing “The Sky Is No Limit” at the 2023 Taiwan Mobile Sun Moon Lake Fireworks Concert ”, and this year’s Innovation Challenge Day demonstrated its application in the development of smart medical care, allowing patients who are unable to move or make sounds to combine facial recognition and M+ messenger functions to convert them into text and sounds for effective communication. In the future, proposals for integrating existing service products, such as mo coin ecosystem, M+ messenger… and other APPs, intelligent customer service, AI-generated voice and images, etc., will be implemented one after another to expand innovative applications beyond 5G.
