DEEPX Announces Global Physical AI Mass Production Partnership with AAEON

DEEPX NPU to be integrated across AAEON’s full lineup of industrial computers, SBCs, and edge gateways — three-year mass production cooperation targeting smart factories, robotics, smart cities, and beyond

DEEPX Inc. (CEO Lokwon Kim), an ultra-low-power Physical AI semiconductor company, today signed a three-year Mass Production Cooperation MOU with AAEON Technology Inc. (TWSE: 6579, CEO Howard Lin), a leading provider of advanced industrial and embedded AI computing platforms, at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2026. The signing ceremony took place at the DEEPX exhibition booth in Hall 1 of the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, with both CEOs in attendance.

 

AAEON is one of Taiwan’s foremost industrial computing companies, supplying industrial computers (IPC), embedded boards, and edge computing hardware to global markets. Under this agreement, the two companies will pursue a three-year commercialization cooperation to integrate DEEPX’s AI semiconductors (NPU) across AAEON’s key hardware product lines, including IPC, Single Board Computers (SBC), and edge gateways.

 

Going beyond a simple technology review, the core objective of this MOU is to embed DEEPX AI semiconductors into global industrial hardware product lines and scale them into commercially mass-producible products. The two companies have agreed to establish a mass production system for AI accelerator modules in standard form factors — M.2, mPCIe, PCIe cards, and COM Express boards — while also collaborating on OEM/ODM-based edge AI product development and large-scale production tailored to customer demand.

 

DEEPX will supply AI semiconductor chipsets and dedicated compiler and SDK support optimized for AAEON’s product lines, while AAEON will lead hardware design, board form-factor specification matching, and the development of dedicated product lineups. Target sectors span smart factories and Industry 4.0, autonomous robots and AMR/AGV, smart cities, intelligent transportation, healthcare, retail, edge security, and smart agriculture.

 

This mass production agreement was made possible by the unrivaled business traction and commercial momentum that both companies have already demonstrated in global industrial environments. AAEON’s next-generation industrial computing platforms — powered by DEEPX’s production-ready semiconductors — secured initial pre-orders immediately following official certification in December 2025.

In particular, as ongoing mass-production verification with major global customers has validated exceptional power-to-performance ratios and system stability that exceed all expectations in real-world conditions, the transition from initial verification orders to large-scale commercial mass production and global scale-up is now well underway.

 

At COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2025, DEEPX had established a partner network of approximately 15 companies spanning Taiwan’s industrial hardware landscape. One year on, that ecosystem has more than doubled — growing to over 30 partners globally — reflecting the accelerating industry demand for DEEPX’s on-device AI semiconductor solutions across robotics, smart manufacturing, security, healthcare, and smart city applications.

 

The AAEON agreement adds significant new momentum to this trajectory: with AAEON’s extensive global distribution channels, DEEPX gains substantially expanded market reach through a single strategic partnership. The two companies also plan to jointly pursue further market expansion at major global exhibitions including COMPUTEX, CES, and Embedded World, as well as through shared online and offline marketing channels.
