The semiconductor company is taking the long view of IoT adoption in China. Infineon Technologies is investing $300m in an Industry 4.0 smart factory for producing semiconductors in Wuxi. The investment will be used to build a new manufacturing plant that can produce chips with up to 10 billion transistors. Infineon is collaborating with the Wuxi-based internet of things R&D centre of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and provides one of the ten IoT reference cases in the city with its IoT-enabled facility. The factory will produce ICs and power discrete products for end markets such as automotive, industrial, power management and security card applications.
