NVIDIA is collaborating with the electronics contract manufacturer Hon Hai Technology Group (also known as Foxconn) to "accelerate the AI industrial revolution."
Foxconn will incorporate NVIDIA's technology to establish a new class of data centers. These centers will support various applications including the digitization of manufacturing and inspection processes, the development of AI-powered electric vehicle and robotics platforms, and language-based generative AI services.
The collaboration starts with building AI factories based on NVIDIA's accelerated computing platform, created for "processing, refining and transforming vast amounts of data into valuable AI models and tokens."
Foxconn is also working on smart solution platforms based on NVIDIA technologies:
- Foxconn Smart EV will be built on NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion 9, a next-generation platform for autonomous automotive fleets, powered by NVIDIA DRIVE Thor, its future automotive systems-on-a-chip.
- Foxconn Smart Manufacturing robotic systems will be built on the NVIDIA Isaac autonomous mobile robot platform.
- Foxconn Smart City will incorporate the NVIDIA Metropolis intelligent video analytics platform.
Foxconn is going to use multiple NVIDIA technologies, including NVIDIA HGX reference designs featuring eight NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs per system, NVIDIA GH200 Superchips, NVIDIA OVX reference designs and NVIDIA networking.
These initiatives are meant to help Foxconn customers speed up the training of autonomous machines and make the industry "move much faster into the new AI era."
The manufacturer is also interested in developing its own AI factories, which will "tap into the NVIDIA Omniverse platform and Isaac and Metropolis frameworks to meet the strict production and quality standards of the electronics industry."
Foxconn will also provide a variety of NVIDIA DRIVE solutions to global automakers, acting as a tier-one manufacturer of electronic control units (ECUs) based on NVIDIA DRIVE Orin today and planning to scale up to NVIDIA DRIVE Thor-based ECUs in the future.
