SmartCore AI™ | Manufacturing Intelligence Assistant

Note: Available to Authorized SmartCore AI™ | MES, FMS, and SmartTool AI™ Users

Turn Manufacturing Data into Intelligence You Can Query, Analyze, and Use for Decision Support

Query information across manufacturing systems using natural language, without learning complex query syntax or knowing in advance which system or report contains the data.

SmartCore AI™ goes beyond answering what happened. It correlates authorized work-order, scheduling, equipment, quality, material, tooling, and manufacturing automation data to help identify exceptions, bottlenecks, and potential risks.

Real-Time Manufacturing Data Queries

Quickly access the latest manufacturing information

Ask about equipment status, exception history, utilization, production progress, tooling, and automated manufacturing status. SmartCore AI™ queries connected and authorized data from SmartCore AI™ | MES, SmartCore AI™ | FMS, and SmartTool AI™ according to user permissions, using system data as the basis for its responses rather than relying on predefined reports.

Cross-System Manufacturing Q&A

Connect core manufacturing data

Work orders, schedules, equipment, personnel, quality, materials, tooling, FMS automation status, and production progress can be queried across systems from a single conversational interface, without switching between systems or reports.

Traceable Data Sources

Data sources and update times are available

Responses can display internal data sources and update times. When Web Search is enabled, external citations can also be shown. System data, external information, and AI-generated analysis are distinguished to improve verifiability and reduce the risk of misinterpretation.

Transparent & Controllable Usage

Proactive notifications when usage reaches 80% and 100%

Each interaction displays Token usage and the corresponding cost, together with allowance status and usage alerts, helping organizations monitor AI consumption and spending.

Complete Subscription and Activation Setup in Four Steps

Subscription and payment setup takes approximately five minutes. The current Token allowance becomes available after the initial payment is completed.

01

Enter Company & Billing Information

Provide company registration/tax information, contact details, and e-invoice information for business verification and billing setup.

02

Add a Credit Card

Add a credit card for automatic monthly subscription payments. Card information is securely processed by a third-party payment provider, and SmartCore AI™ does not directly store full credit card numbers.

03

Your Service Won’t Stop Mid-Answer When the Allowance Runs Out

When the current Token allowance is exhausted, any response already in progress will be completed before new queries are paused. Additional Tokens can be purchased from the account portal, and service resumes after payment is completed.

The system proactively notifies users when usage reaches 80% and 100% of the current allowance, allowing time to purchase additional capacity or adjust usage.

How Is Additional Usage Priced?

Additional usage is priced at a single rate: NT$1,000 (tax included) provides 750,000 Tokens, regardless of plan or purchase quantity. The Basic Plan uses the lightweight model; users on the Advanced and Enterprise Plans can choose from three analysis models, with higher-capability models consuming more Tokens per query.

Analysis ModelBest ForToken Consumption per QueryAvailable Plans
Lightweight ModelSimple queriesApprox. 0.6×All plans
Balanced ModelEveryday queries1× (baseline)Advanced, Enterprise
High-Capability ModelComplex follow-up questions, cross-module analysisApprox. 1.45×Advanced, Enterprise

Note: Additional purchased allowances are not limited to the current billing period and remain available while the subscription is active. Purchases are non-refundable once paid. Web Search (Advanced and Enterprise Plans) consumes approximately 35% additional Tokens per query. Actual model versions are subject to current availability.

Enterprise Data Security & AI Data Usage

SmartCore AI™ is designed with enterprise manufacturing data security in mind, using access controls, read-only analysis, minimum-necessary data access, and source traceability to reduce data risks when adopting generative AI.

SmartCore AI™ uses the OpenAI API for selected AI inference and Web Search capabilities. Enterprise data handling follows both SmartCore AI™ system settings and OpenAI’s current API data policies.

SmartCore AI™ Data Security Design

Role-Based Data Access

Role-Based Data Access

SmartCore AI™ accesses data according to the user roles, data permissions, and authorization scope of connected manufacturing systems.

Authorized connections may include SmartCore AI™ | MES, SmartCore AI™ | FMS, and SmartTool AI™. Natural-language queries do not bypass existing system permissions.

Read-Only Analysis

Read-Only Analysis

SmartCore AI™ is designed for querying and analysis and does not directly modify work orders, scheduling controls, quality decisions, tooling data, equipment parameters, or shop-floor control commands.

Minimum-Necessary Data Access

Minimum-Necessary Data Access

SmartCore AI™ accesses only the authorized data required for the requested query or analysis, reducing unnecessary transmission of enterprise data.

Traceable Data Sources

Traceable Data Sources

AI responses can display internal data sources and update times. When Web Search is enabled, external citations can also be shown, helping users distinguish system data, external information, and AI-generated analysis.

Will Our Data Be Made Available to Other Customers?
