To empower the planet, Microsoft and Intel are in action. For a long time, Microsoft and Intel have paid great attention to the field of green environmental protection, and actively linked multi-industry partners to create solutions that are both sustainable and practical, and deeply empower all aspects of life. way to support low-carbon energy conservation.

Azure and OpenVINOTM tool suite empowering businesses to unlock a low-carbon future

● Microsoft X TSMC: Constructing a green cycle together, saving 16,000 man-hours annually

In order to enhance the sustainable operation capability and implement the mission of green manufacturing, TSMC, a well-known semiconductor manufacturing company, combined with Microsoft Azure cloud service to create a fully automated waste declaration platform, which integrates the opening, comparison and confirmation of declaration documents, which not only saves 16,000 hours per year The manual operation time is realized, and the electronic clearing and transportation form is realized, and the printing requirement of 240,000 paper forms is reduced.

Taking advantage of the integrated ecological advantages of Microsoft, TSMC started to upgrade the remote monitoring systems of the disposal sites of 6 key waste disposal manufacturers, introduced advanced technologies such as image recognition, artificial intelligence learning and big data anomaly analysis, and managed through automatic detection and reporting systems Suspicious dynamics of the treatment process and continuous enhancement of the waste lifecycle management process.

● Microsoft X ZSE Derive: popularize electric vehicles and create green energy

To popularize low-carbon and energy-efficient electric vehicles, Slovakian gas and electricity supplier ZSE uses Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, a mobile application for the ZSE Drive platform, to show the availability of nearby charging stations, payment permissions and review account status. Under the blessing of digital services, the company's users achieved a year-on-year growth of 127%, and increased the use of charging services in public places by 61%, and continued to benefit from green energy.

In addition to empowering ZSE, Microsoft has also continued to actively cooperate with its parent company, multinational energy group E.ON, applying the IoT security solution Azure Sphere to connect monitors at all energy supply points to help end users define and manage energy usage profiles, Optimize energy utilization.

● Intel X PreciTaste: Reduce food waste, serve restaurant food production

Fast food restaurant PreciTaste and Intel jointly built the QSR Brain artificial intelligence machine vision system to help the food service industry realize intelligent and digital food supply management.
With the OpenVINO™ toolkit, QSR Brain is able to deploy high-performance AI inference technology, integrate the needs of all PreciTaste sales channels, collect data on inventory levels through embedded cameras and sensors, and transmit the data to edge devices for computing to This helps restaurants calculate the amount of food that should be prepared in near real-time, update kitchens and inventory in a timely manner, and guide store staff to accurately complete preparation tasks. Ensuring that food production in PreciTaste's 194,000 stores matches demand, effectively reducing food waste.

While supporting multiple industries to build a low-carbon model, Microsoft and Intel are also actively undertaking social responsibilities and contributing to the protection of the earth's ecology. Relevant data show that a species goes extinct every hour, and recent species are disappearing at a rate of 1,000 times faster than the natural rate. In order to protect endangered species, Microsoft and Intel have long-term cooperation with multiple partners, using their own technological advantages to improve the living environment of endangered species and help researchers to improve the intelligence level of their work.

Microsoft joins hands with Intel to protect nature and empower green ecology

● Microsoft X Research Institute: Save endangered species, track insights in real time

As a large technology company with excellent AI technology, Microsoft has launched the AI for Earth action plan in the face of the deplorable situation of endangered species, and actively adopts artificial intelligence technologies such as machine learning to protect endangered animals such as giraffes, whales, penguins, elephants, and grizzly bears. Based on the capabilities of Azure's image processing, machine learning models, AI integration, and data analysis, researchers from a number of scientific research institutions have comprehensively explored the quantitative trends, morphological trends, and individual health status of endangered species. Gain insight into effective conservation strategies to save endangered species.

● Intel X Accenture X Sulubaaï Environmental Foundation: Let Coral Reefs Blossom Forever

To protect coral reef ecosystems against crises such as overfishing, bottom trawling, and global warming, Accenture, Intel, and the Sulubaaï Environmental Foundation have jointly announced "Project: CORaiL," an artificial intelligence (AI)-based solution , to better monitor, characterize and analyze the resilience of coral reefs.

Application-specific technologies such as Intel® FPGA programmable accelerator cards, Intel® Movidius™ visual processing units (VPUs), and Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit provide technical support, enabling researchers to conduct real-time assessments of coral reef health.

● Intel X WWF: Comprehensive monitoring and protection of Siberian tigers

The "big cat" walks alone, and the mountains and forests are full of beauty. In order to protect the endangered Siberian tiger, Intel joined hands with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and various technical partners to use Intel AI technology to construct an integrated front-end and back-end integrated monitoring and protection plan for Siberian tigers. Hundreds of camera images track the historical movement of wild tigers for comprehensive monitoring and protection. In addition, the two parties have further deepened cooperation, widely promoted the integration model of AI and endangered animal monitoring, research and protection, and strengthened the implementation of biodiversity maintenance.

The construction of a green home not only benefits from the industry-wide alignment of goals and innovative practices, but also cannot be separated from the practical actions of each individual in life and work.
