XAG and Chia Tai Present Smart Agriculture Solutions to Enhance the Capabilities of Thai Farmers

KANCHANABURI, Thailand, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — XAG made a noteworthy debut at the 10th Chia Tai Fair, showcasing a comprehensive suite of smart agriculture solutions, including the autonomous drones, autopilot consoles, and the smart fertigation system. This landmark event also saw Chia Tai officially announced as the Thailand sole distributor and national platform for XAG, strengthening its role as an exclusive provider for XAG products and services in the region.

This strategic collaboration between XAG and Chia Tai, Thailand leading innovative agricultural company, is set to redefine farming practices in Thailand through accelerating the adoption of drones, robotics, and AI technologies. The partnership aims to advance productivity, reduce costs, and improve crop quality, offering farmers innovative tools to overcome modern agricultural challenges.

XAG and Chia Tai collaborate to showcase smart agricultural solutions at the 10th Chia Tai Fair

Chia Tai Fair 2025, held from 15-19 January, has turned Chia Tai Kanchanaburi into a hub for displaying modern agricultural practices. Visitors could experience eight fully immersive zones that featured over 600 varieties of high-quality plants alongside cutting-edge technologies, while also raising awareness about the critical role of Thai agriculture. The fair also encourages the younger generation to explore careers in agriculture, which are fundamental to food security.

Prominent figures, including Thailand’s Director-General of the Department of Agriculture Rapibhat Chandarasrivongs and Chia Tai CEO Manas Chiaravanond, attended the opening ceremony. The delegation also visited the booth jointly presented by XAG and Chia Tai, where they experienced live demonstrations of advanced agricultural technologies and discussed their transformative potential.

At the heart of XAG’s exhibits were the well-acknowledged P100 Pro Agricultural Drone and its newly launched XAG P60. They are both designed to address labor shortages and boost farming efficiency, setting new standard for the industry.

The XAG P100 Pro, equipped with a remarkable 50 kg payload capacity, offers farmers exceptional precision in spraying and spreading operations across various field conditions. By significantly reducing operational time and labor intensity, the drones become a great help for farmers to grow more with less.

As a more cost-effective option, the XAG P60 features a 30 kg maximum payload and a modular, collapsible design for easy transportation and quick setup. Based on centimeter-level RTK navigation, the small but mighty P60 can conduct safe and accurate crop protection tasks, making it an ideal entry-level option for precision farming.

During live demonstrations, the drone pilots simply tapped on their smartphones to preset operational parameters. Shortly, the drones ascended, autonomously executing even spraying over the rice paddy and granule spreading on cornfields.

On the ground, rice transplanters and tractors showcased the future of autonomous driving in agriculture through the XAG APC2 Autopilot Console. This automated steering system converts traditional machinery into self-driving vehicles, capable of navigating pre-programmed routes with centimeter-level accuracy. It can significantly reduce operator fatigue while maximizing land use.

By the cornfield, XAG’s Co-founder Justin Gong demonstrated the Smart Electric Valve to Mr. Chandarasrivongs. As an essential component of the XAG Smart Fertigation System, this intelligent yet simple solution enables farmers to control irrigation remotely via a smartphone, optimizing water use and minimizing manual intervention.

Since formalizing their partnership in 2013, XAG and Chia Tai have combined cutting-edge technology and a deep understanding of the local market to deliver practical, sustainable solutions across Thailand.

“This new mission marks an important milestone for Chia Tai and reinforces our position as a leader in agricultural innovation that is continuously evolving. We are ready to offer smart agricultural products, services, and solutions to make it easier and more convenient for Thai farmers,” said Ms. Supaporn Kietisirikajorn, Assistant CEO of Agricultural Technology Business at Chia Tai.

Together, XAG and Chia Tai have been working to address critical challenges such as an aging population, labor shortages, and climate change. The shared mission is to empower local farmers with innovative solutions, driving Thailand’s agricultural sector toward a more sustainable and resilient future.

JelloX Aims to Improve Patient-Centered Care with AI-powered 3D Digital Pathology

First shared at a recent Japanese Society of Digital Pathology meeting, the company is forging a global alliance with a leading US medical institution and other organizations to harness technology for better patient care and outcomes in oncology.

TAIPEI, Jan. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — JelloX Biotech Inc., a Taiwan-based startup focused on cancer pathology, is unveiling its vision for AI and 3D digital pathology to advance patient-centered care. The vision was first detailed publicly by Dr. Yen-Yin Lin, CEO of JelloX, during the August 2024 Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Digital Pathology. JelloX continues to distinguish itself as an early adopter of AI and 3D imaging applied to cancer pathology.

“Technological advancements and the recent surge in AI have reshaped the future of healthcare, enabling the extraction of valuable insights that will have real benefits for patients,” shared Dr. Lin. “3D pathology can offer at least 50 times more information than conventional 2D methods, providing pathologists with a more comprehensive understanding of a tumor’s biology. The power of such a diagnostic tool lies in its ability to help pathologists stratify and personalize, matching the right patients with the right treatment at the right time. This ultimately leads to better prognosis, quality of life, and more patient-centered care.”

Improving patient-centered care with technology

JelloX has previously estimated that 40% of cancer patients can benefit from AI-analyzed 3D imaging for pathology by expanding feasibility of treatment options like immunotherapy. Due to the complexity of cancer and variability between cases, these technologies hold significant promise for oncology, particularly in addressing the challenge of limited information from conventional methods. With the increased sampling rate via 3D imaging analyzed by AI, pathologists have more actionable insights regarding the tumor, assisting them in making a wholistic diagnosis.

Patients who were previously excluded from immunotherapy due to undetected biomarker expressions, resulting from the limitations of current techniques, may now have a renewed opportunity. With its improved sensitivity, 3D pathology can not only identify cases previously classified as “false negatives” but also enable early cancer detection. This allows for earlier treatment initiation, leading to an improved quality of life for patients.

For healthcare providers, this means matching the right patients to the right drugs at the right time. For patients, more precision for diagnosis, treatment, and timing means lowered risk of misdiagnosis, minimized patient costs, and better prognosis—ultimately to more patient-centered care and better quality of life.

A visionary new platform

Dr. Lin continued: “The fight against cancer is not a one-on-one battle, so partnerships are crucial to accomplish this. JelloX has embraced collaboration across countries and industries to build an AI-powered 3D pathology platform together.”

In collaboration with a leading US medical center and other partners, JelloX is developing a platform that can address multiple pain points for patients and the healthcare industry. The platform will leverage JelloX’s software, MetaLite®, which recently received 510(k) clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration.

In addition to the benefits for patients, an AI-powered 3D pathology platform that continuously grows could greatly accelerate biomarker research and benefit the healthcare industry. Over time, the platform could continue to grow more precise at cancer diagnosis as it learns from sample biomarkers paired with anonymized patient outcome data. Also, as the platform finds novel biomarkers, it could facilitate development of new technologies and their commercialization.

About JelloX Biotech Inc.

Based in Hsinchu, Taiwan, JelloX Biotech Inc. is a startup which focus on advancing cancer pathology through 3D digital imaging and AI technology.
