Ainos and ASE Technology Holding Broaden Strategic Partnership to Target Deploy Up to 15,000 AI Nose Across Key Sites

Relationship Broadens Scope to Key ASE and SPIL Facilities with Multi-Phase Deployment

Milestone Positions ASEH and Ainos as First-Mover in AI-Powered Scent Intelligence for the Semiconductor Industry

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / June 27, 2025 / Ainos, Inc. ("Ainos" or the "Company") , a leader in AI-driven scent digitization, today announced the expansion of its strategic relationship with ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. ("ASEH", TWSE: 3711, NYSE: ASX), the world's leading provider of semiconductor assembly and test services. The two companies are contemplating a multi-phase roadmap to deploy Ainos' AI Nose platform across ASE's global manufacturing network, including facilities operated by Siliconware Precision Industries Co., Ltd. (SPIL).

This broadened relationship reflects both companies' commitment to advancing smart factory transformation, environmental monitoring, and sustainability in semiconductor operations.

"With recent collaborations including ugo in robotics and Kenmec in smart factories, we are rapidly scaling the reach of AI Nose across automation ecosystems," said Eddy Tsai, Chairman, President and CEO of Ainos. "This broadened relationship with ASEH further validates our technology and a significant global rollout opportunity. By converting scent into machine-readable Smell ID through our smell language model, we are introducing a new layer of environmental intelligence into semiconductor manufacturing."

"This is a major milestone in our mission to bring digital olfaction to industrial environments at scale. We also believe this deployment model can serve as a scalable reference for other advanced manufacturing clients worldwide, further advancing smart sensing and ESG integration. We could expect digital olfaction to generate stable recurring revenue for Ainos on an annual basis, with multi-million annual revenue potential in the coming years." Eddy added.

Multi-Phase Rollout Plan

The roadmap includes three phases:

• Evaluation Phase: Deployment of approximately 1,400 AI Nose units across ASE and SPIL sites.

• Phase 1: Expansion to approximately 5,000 units for integration across cleanrooms and production zones.

• Phase 2: Full-scale deployment targeting up to 15,000 units.

Key use cases include:

• Real-time VOC anomaly detection

• Cleanroom and facility environmental sensing

• Automated ESG compliance monitoring and reporting

AI Nose and Smell Language Model: A New Layer of Factory Intelligence

Just as visual language models (VLMs) allow machines to interpret sight, Ainos' AI Nose digitizes scent into Smell ID, training AI to understand scent signals. Ainos is on a journey to scale Smell ID into smell language model (SLM), a future enabling machines to "read" scent the way AI interprets test and images. This capability enhances environmental integrity, predictive safety, and sustainability reporting within smart factory systems.

The relationship further strengthens Ainos' role in the semiconductor value chain and positions AI Nose as a key enabling technology in global cleanroom and advanced packaging environments.
