In a significant showcase at Embedded World 2026, Longsys, a prominent name in the semiconductor memory sector, highlighted its pioneering AI-driven storage solutions. The company is known for its commitment to innovation and robust capabilities in integrated storage for various applications, especially in the automotive sector.
Under the theme 'AI Storage for Embedded World', Longsys presented its expertise in automotive-grade storage developed over seven years. With its advanced Research and Development (R&D) framework, alongside meticulous supply chain management, Longsys aims to tackle the prevalent challenges of unstable supply and rising costs within the industry. The company's dual business models—Technology-Contract Manufacturing (TCM) and Product Technology Manufacturing (PTM)—are fundamental to their strategy. The TCM model is particularly noteworthy, as it transforms short-term transactional relationships into long-term partnerships by integrating all aspects of supply, including wafer resources, controllers, packaging, and testing, thus ensuring a reliable supply chain.
Furthermore, the PTM model allows for the provision of tailored storage solutions, significantly reducing the time and costs associated with customer validation processes. This dual approach aims to assure clients of both quality and efficiency in their supply of semiconductor memory.
At the event, Longsys unveiled its comprehensive automotive-grade portfolio, which is AEC-Q100 qualified. This includes:
- - Automotive-grade eMMC: Featuring their proprietary WM6000 controller, available in capacities of up to 128GB, complying with Grade 2/3 standards, ensuring reliability in automotive applications.
- - Automotive-grade UFS: With storage capacities reaching up to 256GB, it offers excellent read/write performance tailored for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications. The future iterations of this product will incorporate the cutting-edge WM7400, 7300, and 7200 controllers.
- - Automotive-grade LPDDR4x: Engineered for data rates of 4266Mbps, enhancing AI cockpit experiences with features such as integrated ODT (On-Die Termination) and DQS (Data Strobe) technology.
In line with the rising demand for embodied intelligence, Longsys also showcased its innovative AI Robot solutions. The dedicated showcase area spotlighted their high-speed storage options, namely the mSSD and Lexar AI Storage Core solutions. The mSSD is designed to deliver chip-level quality with staggering sequential read/write speeds of up to 7400/6500 MB/s and remarkable 4K random read/write speeds of up to 1000K/820K IOPS. This capability is critical for swiftly loading AI models pivotal in robotics applications. On the other hand, the Lexar AI Storage Core builds upon the mSSD's strengths, introducing hot-swap functionality and optimizations geared specifically towards AI integration.
As the landscape of AI storage continues to evolve, Longsys positions itself at the forefront, dedicated to empowering the next generation of intelligent embedded systems. Founded in 1999, the company's mission—'Everything for memory'—reflects its core focus on innovation and customer-centric solutions in the semiconductor memory space. Longsys provides a full range of tailored services that blend R&D, design, packaging, testing, manufacturing, and sales, showcasing their capability to meet the diverse needs of global clients.
