OMNIVISION clinches accolade at Singapore Business Review Technology Excellence Awards 2026

The OAX4600 delivers AI-enabled in-cabin monitoring for next-generation automotive safety systems.

OMNIVISION won AI - Semiconductor in the Singapore Business Review Technology Excellence Awards 2026 for its OAX4600, the automotive industry's first fully integrated AI-enabled ASIC for simultaneous Driver Monitoring System and Occupant Monitoring System operations.

Designed and built entirely by OMNIVISION's Singapore ASIC team, the OAX4600 combines a sophisticated Image Signal Processor with dual Neural Processing Units, delivering 2 tera operations per second alongside Seeing Machines’ Occula NPU. This dual-NPU architecture enables simultaneous execution of multiple complex AI models whilst maintaining low power consumption, meeting the stringent requirements of automotive-grade in-cabin monitoring applications.

The chip features embedded 2Gb DDR3 memory in a compact form factor, setting new standards for power and space efficiency. Supporting Pytorch, TensorFlow, and ONNX frameworks, OMNIVISION’s in-house AI toolchain includes a compiler, simulator, visualiser, quantisation tools, and a proprietary inference engine. This complete ecosystem allows automotive manufacturers to optimise AI models and deploy them efficiently on the dual-NPU hardware.

OMNIVISION’s OAX4600 entered mass production with multiple automotive manufacturers and is progressing towards additional deployments. Customers report that the solution is highly optimised for in-cabin monitoring, providing the necessary performance and flexibility for next-generation safety systems.

The platform’s comprehensive Software Development Kit allows extensive customisation to meet diverse manufacturer requirements and adapt to evolving safety regulations. By pairing the OAX4600 with OMNIVISION’s leading camera sensors, automotive companies receive a fully integrated imaging and AI solution that strengthens both driver and occupant safety.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
