ITRI and Arm Collaborate on AIoT Certification Center

ITRI, the Industrial Technology Research Institute, has recently launched a new certification center in Taiwan, marking the fourth of its kind globally. This center, following the ones in the United States, Europe, and India, is a collaboration between ITRI's R&D strengths and the Arm SystemReady compliance program. The primary goal of this initiative is to provide comprehensive certification services for the AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) industry, aiming to drive Taiwan's industrial integration of AI and IoT ecosystems.

Pei-Zen Chang, ITRI's Executive Vice President, shed light on the genesis of this partnership. He stated, "In 2021, ITRI and Arm jointly established a new IC design platform for startups, which not only facilitated startups in integrating key IPs to accelerate the launch of globally competitive products but also bolstered Taiwan's IC design industry's global market share. ITRI has again joined forces with Arm to establish the lab, which is expected to closely mesh Taiwan's semiconductor supply chain with Arm's global ecosystem, ensuring the high quality of Taiwan's equipment manufacturers' products while adhering to international standards."

Arm Taiwan's President, CK Tseng, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating, "Arm is the world's most pervasive computing platform, and this new collaboration with ITRI demonstrates our commitment to the Taiwan market. Through the Arm SystemReady Labs already in operation globally, we have achieved over 130 certifications. With this fourth lab, we aim to further advance not just Taiwan's but Asia's AIoT industry, particularly in device manufacturing, through standardization. We look forward to further collaboration with ecosystem partners like ITRI as we build the future of IoT on Arm."

This strategic partnership between ITRI and Arm is expected to have a significant impact on Taiwan's technology landscape. By combining ITRI's research capabilities with Arm's global reach and expertise in computing platforms, the certification center is poised to elevate Taiwan's position in the AIoT industry. The focus on standardization and quality assurance will not only benefit local manufacturers but also contribute to the growth of Asia's AIoT sector as a whole.
