Innovators of intelligent transformation
The key words for 2023 are undoubtedly "artificial intelligence". Not only technology, it is also a powerful tool to drive innovation, improve efficiency, and expand business, unleashing great productivity and creativity.
Of particular concern is the increasingly profound impact of technologies such as artificial intelligence on the future of the automotive industry. Junsheng Electronics has a keen insight into this, not only as an observer, but also as an active participant and leader, which is reflected in the company's strategic vision - to become an innovator and leader in automotive safety and intelligent technology.
Junsheng Electronics aims to seize this opportunity by embedding artificial intelligence into its product strategy, actively exploring the integration and application of intelligent cockpit, intelligent networking, intelligent driving, and automotive safety; At the same time, within the company, Junsheng Electronics has also integrated new technologies into every corner of daily office, business, research and development, operation and other systems, thereby improving the collaboration efficiency of employees worldwide and achieving cost reduction and efficiency increase.
Since the emergence of artificial intelligence technology in recent years, Junsheng Electronics has quickly followed suit, grasped the pulse, and explored the integration and application of new technologies and enterprise business with an open and inclusive attitude. Especially after Microsoft released Copilot for Microsoft 365 International Edition, Junsheng Electronics showed great interest and immediately applied to become one of the first 12 early users of Copilot for Microsoft 365 International Edition, incorporating this advanced productivity tool.
Junsheng Electronics adopts Microsoft's solution, which also reflects the long-term mutual trust foundation established by both parties. As early as 2020, both sides actively explored opportunities for common development, especially during the pandemic. Junsheng Electronics fully utilized the Microsoft 365 productivity platform to provide intelligent office experiences for employees worldwide. Through more than three years of interaction, both parties have reached a consensus not only on the technical level, but also on the future development vision. As a leading global technology enterprise, Microsoft is regarded by Junsheng Electronics as an important service provider in the global business layout by providing strong technical support, wide coverage of the global market, and comprehensive enterprise level services that meet local needs. At present, in addition to the Copilot for Microsoft 365 international version project, Junsheng Electronics also hopes to further communicate and explore with the Microsoft team in other aspects of the IT field, such as the Security Operation Center (SOC).
Sun Cheng, Director of Artificial Intelligence Solution (AIS) at Junsheng Electronics, said, "As a leading global supplier of automotive electronics and automotive safety, we are at the forefront of automotive industry innovation. Junsheng Electronics' mission is not only to meet market demand, but also to set a benchmark for the entire industry through active exploration and innovation.
