Historically, the global textile industry relied on mass production and economies of scale for low-cost manufacturing. However, as consumer demands become increasingly diverse and dynamic, small-batch, high-mix production and fast delivery have become the market mainstream. Taiwan, with its complete and advanced textile supply chain and high-end functional fabric technology, has long demonstrated competitiveness on the international stage. Facing global supply chain restructuring and the fast fashion trend, Taiwan's textile industry is actively pursuing a digital and localized transformation. The goal is to build a flexible, responsive agile supply chain, making manufacturing a sustained competitive advantage.

5G is recognized as a key enabler of Industry 4.0. With its high network speed and low power consumption, 5G facilitates the connectivity of every sensor in the upcoming unmanned factory to the cloud. This connectivity allows for the extraction of data for analysis, ultimately fueling advancements in artificial intelligence.

"Efficiency" is the most important key in the pursuit of success in the manufacturing process and the entire industry.

New technologies bring forth the new. AI and the cloud are irreversible trends that are strengthening the competitiveness of enterprises. Enterprises should consider how to implement AI and the cloud in each application of the enterprises.

In the chip formation process, materials are cut through mechanical means by using tools like milling cutters, saws, and lathes. It is an integral part of the engineering of developing machines and cutting tools.

As one of the fastest-growing emerging economies in the world, India has a huge demographic dividend and is expected to catch up with China to become the world's most populous country. Coupled with its solid training in scientific and technological talents and its advantages in English, it has attracted a large amount of foreign investment. India is considered will become the new world factory.

With the rise of global environmental protection awareness, the improvement of process efficiency and pollution reduction of plastic products have become important issues for the rubber and plastic industry. In response to the shortage of workers and the reduction of personnel contact, mechanical automation and cloud services have become the new normal in the industry.

To enhance competitiveness, manufacturers are driving a shift from a reactive problem-solving model to a more proactive device, process, product, and plant management model.

Utilize industrial augmented reality technology and virtual reality to further improve employee productivity, efficiency, and customer satisfaction through real-time step-by-step work instructions.

The Southeast Asian Manufacturing Alliance, initiated by Singapore, is mainly characterized by orderly and divided industrial zone planning. Singapore is a market entry hub and a high-tech development center.

Both lean and agile manufacturing emphasizes leveraging market knowledge, integrating supply chains, and reducing product lead times.

A new generation of HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces) is replacing the traditional buttons, indicators and selectors used to control machines with updated technology and components that reduce the dependence on a large number of display panels and cables. HMIs reduce operating costs and their advanced functions enhance monitoring of equipment.

The Metaverse is bringing virtual gamers to a wireless sci-fi vision with an infinite number of virtual worlds. However, you will find some transformation and benefits in how manufacturers can be more productive in the digital and physical worlds.

Digital manufacturing is a production method in which computer technology creates a product in a desired style or quantity using little or no human involvement. Digital manufacturing uses digital tools to combines and connect all manufacturing processes.

Smart manufacturing utilizes advanced manufacturing technology and provides solutions through AI, the Internet of Things, big data, cloud, edge computing, and other technologies to substitute the production process with an intelligent manufacturing model and customize products according to customer needs.

From cars to computers, coffee machines to children’s toys, almost everything we use on an everyday basis is produced by manufacturers. So manufacturing is often described as a key building block of society. Manufacturing has evolved over the centuries, from human-centered methods to machine-reliant assembly lines to the highly automated factories we’re beginning to see more of today. As industry continues to evolve, numerous trends are combining to transform manufacturing. These quickly developing new trends have emerged so fast that they have been referred to as “Industry 4.0.”

Through the assistance and support of the service industry, we can add value to the manufacturing industry, enhance the international competitiveness of the manufacturing industry, and create greater comparative advantages and profit space.

The outbreak of the pandemic has caused the shutdown of supply-side factories around the world and the interruption of supply chains. The demand on the market side has also decreased, and the production of major global machinery products has been affected.
