Weltrend Semiconductor (TAIEX: 2436) received the 17th annual Technology Management Award today for the corporate team category by the Chinese Society for Management of Technology (CSMOT). The team awarded is Weltrend’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) R&D team, led by Jeng-Cheng (JC) Liu, Senior Vice President of R&D. Under the leadership of JC Liu, Weltrend launched the first Around View Monitoring (AVM) processor chipset into the market in 2014 after five years of endeavors by the Company’s ADAS R&D team. Weltrend was the first fabless semiconductor company in Taiwan to roll out such product. Using the Company’s proprietary AVM algorithm with Checkerboard Corner Detection technology, Weltrend’s AVM processor chipsets optimize the around-view images of a vehicle. The Company also develops calibration tools suitable for a variety of vehicles for in-production-line installation. The tools simplify the in-line installation process and enables AVM uses to quickly proliferate, especially in the aftermarket application. Weltrend’s AVM processors entered into mass production in 2014 and have been installed in several vehicle models of renowned automotive makers both in Taiwan and China, including brands that are jointly invested by Japanese auto makers. The chipset is compliant to TS 16949 and has completed AEC-Q100 testing certification. CSMOT was established in December 1990. The organization aims to cultivate managers of technology management with managerial abilities to strengthen the management theories and empirical research in domestic and international domains.
