Taoyuan, January 19, 2026 – ADLINK Technology Inc. (Stock Code: 6166), a global leader in edge computing, announced today that it has received two prestigious awards at the 2025 Gartner Eye on Innovation Awards (Asia-Pacific), being named Winner in Advanced Manufacturing and a Runner-Up in the Mid-Size Enterprises category.

The Gartner Eye On Innovation recognize organizations that successfully apply technology to deliver measurable business outcomes, based on rigorous evaluation by Gartner experts and peer voting. This recognition validates ADLINK’s AI Agent Factory solution, which is built on the Edge AI Agent Platform and leverages agentic AI architecture to improve manufacturing efficiency, accelerate decision-making, and enhance operational performance across real-world deployments.

Rising Manufacturing Pressure Makes Proactive Intelligence Essential

As global manufacturing competition intensifies, manufacturers face mounting pressure to improve efficiency, quality, and profitability. High-mix, low-volume production environments increase operational complexity, while greater product variability challenges consistent execution and quality control. Traditional manufacturing systems, often reactive and siloed, struggle to deliver timely insights or preventive actions—underscoring the need for proactive, intelligent manufacturing operations that can anticipate issues and optimize performance in real time.

Building a Real-Time Decision Architecture for Complex Manufacturing Environments

To address these challenges, ADLINK deployed its Gartner-recognized AI Agent Factory solution within advanced manufacturing operations. The solution is built on the NVIDIA Certified ADLINK AXE-7400SR Edge AI server, integrated with NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation GPU and NVIDIA Omniverse technologies, and designed around an edge agentic AI architecture that enables coordinated, real-time decision-making across manufacturing workflows.

Within this integrated system, specialized AI agents collaborate while performing distinct roles, enabling manufacturing operations to evolve from post-event response to real-time decision-making and proactive prevention. Decision Agents continuously integrate production and inspection data to generate actionable optimization recommendations; AVI (AI visual inspection) Agents monitor operator behavior and product quality to detect potential anomalies at an early stage; and Analytics Agents aggregate MES, equipment, and output data, applying large language models (LLMs) and data science techniques to identify patterns and root causes. Together, these agents enable true Adaptive Manufacturing, continuously optimizing quality, throughput, and operational efficiency.

Proven Results Enable a Scalable Manufacturing Transformation

With the Edge AI Agent deployed in live manufacturing environments, ADLINK has delivered clear, quantifiable business results. Product consistency improved from 97.5% to 99%, defect inspection time was reduced by 50%, and issue resolution time shortened from three days to one. Overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) increased from 60% to 80%, driving a 20% growth in monthly production and corresponding increases in order volume—creating sustained and measurable business value.

Stephen Huang, President and Chief Operating Officer of ADLINK, said, “We are deeply honored to receive this recognition from Gartner. This acknowledgment reflects ADLINK’s long-term commitment to our in-house R&D capabilities, proprietary AI solutions, and proven execution in advanced manufacturing environments. Through our Edge AI Agent Platform architecture, ADLINK has successfully moved intelligent manufacturing from concept to measurable and repeatable practice. By working closely with ecosystem partners, we are accelerating real-world adoption and extending this validated manufacturing transformation pathway to global customers, delivering higher-quality and more resilient advanced manufacturing processes.”
