Questionably notable and improvable company as the best I found was this (almost at the bottom), this, this, this and finally this looks like another company, from Singapore; this was started by an SPA in December 2008 and it hasn't changed much since.

• delete - reads like an add. non-notable. DangerDogWest (talk) 07:21, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

• Struck content from confirmed sock above, per WP:SOCKSTRIKE. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 03:44, 31 October 2015 (UTC)

• Reduce to stub - seems notable, but very promotional - remove all references to "solutions". . . Mean as custard (talk) 09:05, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
• delete. and permit re-creation. I think $1 billion companies are usually notable, but this should be rewritten from scratch. DGG ( talk ) 23:29, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

• NeutralWeak keep but would accept "delete and permit recreation". The subject is notable - listed in Taipei Exchange; subject of regular coverage in mainstream media in Taiwan about its technological innovation, e.g. its robots made the news twice in 2014 [1]; [2][3]; its "smart city" initiative in 2014 [4]; its latest medical venture made news in many media sources [5][6]. But I agree we should rewrite the article substantially and I personally haven't got time for that. Deryck C. 16:05, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
