Streamax officially launched its Digital Intelligence Division in Bac Ninh, Vietnam, in May 2026, marking a strategic expansion into the AI energy infrastructure sector. The division utilizes the newly completed second Vietnam plant, featuring seven high-speed Surface Mount Technology (SMT) production lines and an iMES digital management system. By applying reliability standards developed for over five million commercial vehicles, Streamax now manufactures high-density Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems and power modules. This expansion provides global data center partners with a traceable, Just-In-Time (JIT) compliant supply chain for critical power components, ensuring hardware stability through automated testing and integrated digital oversight.
Advanced AI Power Infrastructure: Inside the Bac Ninh Facility
The operational logic of the Bac Ninh Digital Intelligence Division is anchored by the iMES (Intelligent Manufacturing Execution System). Synchronized with the enterprise Oracle ERP, this digital hub enables a one-click traceability protocol. By scanning a product serial number, supply chain partners can retrieve the entire manufacturing history, including component batch records and production line data.
Bac Ninh Phase II Facility: Core Production Capabilities
Production Line Type | Quantity | Key Technologies & Protocols | Target Output |
High-Speed SMT Lines | 7 Lines | Flying-probe FAI, iMES integration, CTU robotics | Large-format PCBA for AI computing |
UPS Assembly Lines | 2 Lines | High-voltage testing, Automated performance validation | High-density UPS systems |
Power Module Lines | 4 Lines | Odd-form insertion, Selective wave soldering | High-voltage components |
Battery Pack Lines | 2 Lines | Thermal stress monitoring (Intelligent aging chambers) | Energy storage solutions |
For heavy-component integration, such as high-voltage capacitors, the factory utilizes high-speed odd-form insertion machines and selective wave soldering. All soldered joints are manufactured in accordance with the rigorous IPC-A-610 Class 3 standards required for high-reliability electronics operating continuously in demanding environments.
Applying Automotive-Grade Reliability to Data Center Power Needs
This strategic expansion addresses the global energy demand driven by large-scale AI model training. As data center power requirements scale from kilowatt to megawatt ranges per rack, hardware must manage high power density to support uninterrupted power delivery.
Streamax enters this sector by applying its engineering legacy of safeguarding five million commercial vehicles. The hardware design principles that withstand extreme vibration and thermal fluctuations in automotive environments are directly mapped to AI power modules, providing a unique competitive differentiator against traditional data center hardware suppliers.. For context on our foundational hardware technologies, review our commercial vehicle AI solutions.
The facility is currently integrating 800V HVDC architecture manufacturing capabilities. This transition to High Voltage Direct Current allows for efficient power delivery directly to the server rack, reducing current-related heat loss and simplifying electrical layouts.
Streamax's Strategic Vision for Global Power Supply Chains
Streamax views the Bac Ninh Digital Intelligence Division as the technical foundation for its next phase of enterprise growth. By integrating Oracle's cloud infrastructure directly with the localized iMES, the facility reduces new product line deployment times from months to days, responding precisely to the evolving specifications of GPU-heavy data centers.
"Our core operational philosophy has shifted from isolated product manufacturing to building a globally resilient capability stack. The rigorous quality control systems we developed to safeguard millions of commercial vehicles worldwide are now directly applied to the 'always-on' requirements of AI factories."
——Liu Lei, Chief Operating Officer of Streamax
The Bac Ninh plant is the first of several planned upgrades to the company’s global manufacturing cluster, ensuring that as AI demands grow, the physical infrastructure to support them is ready for deployment. This data-driven, objective manufacturing environment ensures every component—from an SMT resistor to a 12kW power shelf—is validated for absolute stability. Looking ahead, Streamax remains focused on an "All in AI" strategy while maintaining the practical, hardware-first engineering that has defined the company’s history.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the "iMES" system in your Vietnam facility?The iMES (Intelligent Manufacturing Execution System) is a digital platform that monitors and controls all real-time processes on the factory floor. It integrates with our Oracle ERP to ensure that material delivery (JIT), component placement, and testing are all recorded. For our customers, this means "one-click" traceability: every finished power module can be traced back to its specific component batches and production parameters.
How does Streamax's experience in commercial vehicles benefit AI infrastructure?Commercial vehicle hardware operates in harsh environments with constant vibration, dust, and temperature changes. We have spent years perfecting "automotive-grade" reliability for over five million vehicles. We are now applying these same rigorous manufacturing and testing standards to AI power modules and UPS systems, where continuous uptime is equally critical.
What is the current status of your HVDC manufacturing capabilities?As of May 2026, our UPS and battery pack lines are in full production and achieving bulk deliveries. We are integrating HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) manufacturing capabilities at our second Vietnam plant. This involves setting up specialized high-voltage testing platforms and assembly workflows to support the industry's shift toward 800V DC power architectures.
