<div id="readability-page-1">Ainos, Inc. ( AIMD ) (&#34;Ainos&#34; or the &#34;Company&#34;) today announced the activation of a phased industrial deployment roadmap under a strategic framework that contemplates the installation of up to 20,000 AI Nose units within semiconductor manufacturing environments.Phased Expansion Framework within Back-end Semiconductor EnvironmentsThe framework under a Memorandum of Understanding with ASE Technology Holding Co., Ltd. (&#34;ASEH&#34;) outlines a multi-phase expansion strategy designed to integrate digital olfaction, powered by the AI Nose platform, into ASEH's semiconductor packaging and testing facilities.Ainos is executing the first phase of deployment that includes:<ul><li>confirmed order of 1,400 AI Nose units under a three-year subscription structure totaling approximately $2.1 million</li><li>Ainos has received $350,000 in customer deposit payments</li><li>Ainos is targeting to complete the first phase deployment by the end of Q2 2026.</li></ul>Following phase one:<ul><li>Phase two contemplates deployment of 5,000 AI Nose units</li><li>Phase three contemplates deployment of up to 15,000 AI Nose units</li></ul>Advancement into subsequent phases remains subject to milestone validation and contractual progression under the strategic framework.Expansion into Advanced Front-End Semiconductor FabsIn parallel, Ainos is deploying AI Nose within advanced front-end semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities for validation testing. These deployments are part of technical qualification and remain subject to customer review and formal commercial approval prior to potential conversion into revenue-generating programs.&#34;Industrial AI is evolving toward multi-sensory infrastructure,&#34; said Eddy Tsai, Chairman, President and CEO of Ainos. &#34;I believe digital olfaction represents a missing intelligence layer inside automated environments. We are executing a disciplined roadmap to integrate scent intelligence into semiconductor operations through scalable, recurring deployment models.&#34;About AI NoseAI Nose digitizes scent into Smell ID, an AI-driven form of scent intelligence. The full-stack electronic nose platform integrates high-precision MEMS sensor arrays with proprietary AI algorithms designed to support ppb-level scent detection sensitivity, subject to application conditions and deployment configurations. Smell ID converts analog scent signals into structured, actionable data, while the proprietary Smell Language Model (SLM) is designed to learn, classify, and contextualize complex scent patterns over time.Built upon more than a decade of accumulated scent data and deep medtech expertise, AI Nose is designed to support continuous monitoring, predictive analysis, and real-time alerts across industrial and manufacturing environments. AI Nose is offered under a SmellTech-as-a-Service architecture, intended to support ongoing access to scent intelligence, analytics, and AI-driven insights through subscription-based deployment models.About Ainos, Inc. ( AIMD )Ainos, Inc. ( AIMD ) is a dual-platform AI and biotech company pioneering smelltech and immune therapeutics. Its AI Nose platform and smell language model (SLM) digitize scent into Smell ID, a machine-readable data format, powering intelligent sensing across robotics, smart factories, and healthcare. The company also develops VELDONA®, a low-dose oral interferon targeting rare, autoimmune, and infectious diseases. Ainos, a fusion of &#34;AI&#34; and &#34;Nose,&#34; is redefining machine perception for the sensory age. To learn more, visit https://www.ainos.com.
