AI Nose and Smell Language Model Combine with Solomon's Vision AI to Power Multi-Sensory Automation
Partnership Accelerates AI Scent Intelligence Deployment in Semiconductors, Robotics and More
SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / July 7, 2025 / Ainos, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIMD)(NASDAQ:AIMDW) ("Ainos" or the "Company"), a pioneer in AI-powered scent detection, today announced a five-year distribution partnership with Solomon Technology Corporation, a leader in machine vision, industrial AI, and smart automation. The partnership aims to fast-track Ainos' AI Nose platform into Asia's key manufacturing sectors: semiconductors, petrochemicals, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), and more.
Solomon will distribute and integrate AI Nose as part of Solomon's robotic solutions in:
Semiconductor factories
Petrochemical production sites
Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)
Healthcare and medical environments
Ainos: Scaling Scent Digitization From Healthcare to Multiple Industrial Sectors
Originally developed for healthcare, AI Nose is going industrial. AI Nose and smell language model (SLM) aims to translate chemical signals (VOCs) into machine-readable Smell ID, like GPT for scent.
Solomon's advanced machine vision systems and robust client network will accelerate AI Nose's deployment into Asia's most advanced manufacturing environments. Solomon's Visual Language Model (VLM) complements Ainos' SLM, creating a synergistic platform for sensory intelligence. This partnership builds upon Ainos' recent industrial traction with ASE (semiconductors), Kenmec (smart factories), and ugo (robotics), extending commercial opportunites to more markets.
"We are entering commercialization in the second half of 2025," said Eddy Tsai, Chairman, President, and CEO of Ainos. "This alliance will significantly extend AI Nose's industrial reach and operational scalability. Combined with Solomon's regional depth and our SLM technology, we're adding a new sensory layer to automation while laying the foundation for high-value, recurring revenue in 2026 and beyond."
Solomon: Building the Sensory Infrastructure of the Next Industrial Era
Solomon's platform already enables robots and machines the power to see, move, and reason through AI-powered tools like AccuPick, SolVision, SolMotion, and META-aivi. As a robotic partner of Nvidia, Solomon leads in simulation-based automation and AI deployment.
"I believe smell is the missing link in factory sensing," said Johnny Chen, Chairman of Solomon. "Ainos brings that missing piece. AI Nose and the SLM opens new possibilities in intelligent sensing - particularly for our semiconductor, and AMR clients. We employ over a thousand personnel across Asia, enabling responsive and localized service for our customers. This marks the next evolution in sensor fusion, and Solomon is proud to serve as a critical enabler."
Defining the Next Frontier of Olfactory Intelligence
The global electronic nose (e-nose) market is expected to grow from
70% + of global semiconductor capacity45% of electronics manufacturing services (EMS)
Together, Solomon's installed customer base and Ainos' smelltech platform are uniquely positioned to lead the next phase of growth in AI-powered sensory technologies.
What's Next
2H 2025: AI Nose pilots launch across Solomon's target industrial sectors in Asia
2026: Revenue-generating deployments in manufacturing, robotics environments
"Scent will be AI's next token, an untapped signal that machines can now interpret just like text or images," said Eddy Tsai, Chairman and CEO of Ainos. "We're building a new sensory layer for automation. This is how smart factories will smell, sense, and respond in 2026 and beyond."
