SurplusGLOBAL Accelerates Innovation in Semiconductor Equipment and Parts Ecosystem with AI... Appoints Dr. Benjamin Jeong as Chief AI Officer
SurplusGLOBAL is currently developing an e-commerce platform called 'SemiMarket', which is set to launch in the first half of next year. This platform will analyze semiconductor parts in real-time, offering a more intuitive and efficient search environment through an AI-powered automatic categorization and personalized recommendation system. Users will be able to quickly and easily find the necessary parts and access real-time pricing information, streamlining their purchasing experience.
Additionally, SurplusGLOBAL is focusing on automating existing manual processes using AI.
