Ordinary household items, as well as sophisticated industrial tools, are creating networks of intelligently interconnected devices that streamline operations and enhance our interaction with technology. The scope of these devices is quite extensive and grows every year. Let’s take a look at what these devices include and how they are impacting our everyday lives.

As the latest advancement in mobile network technology, 5G offers unprecedented speed and connectivity. It sets the stage for a new era in the evolution of mobile networks, promising to revolutionize Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and significantly impact society at large. This impact is expected to be realized through the development of IoT applications and smart cities, thereby laying the foundation for the future of 6G.

Today, the Internet of Things is still a hot topic in many industries. Emphasizing the benefits of adopting this technology, Fortune Business Insights estimates that by 2026, the global Internet of Things market will reach 1102.6 billion US dollars.

By embedding dynamic force sensors in the machine and matching them with analysis software, it provides an intelligent solution for the machine. Expand the scope of application, increase production capacity and reduce waste in the customer's manufacturing process, thereby reducing energy consumption and moving towards energy saving and waste reduction.

The development of smart sensors can be a high degree of integration of mechanical, electrical, software/firmware, circuit, and sensor knowledge.

Improving production efficiency is the foundation for the manufacturing industry to gain a firm foothold. The manufacturing industry achieves smart operations by introducing AI applications, automatically identifying abnormalities, or making adjustment suggestions, and assisting companies in achieving more accurate adjustments to machines and upgrading equipment. During the process, the traditional manufacturers are transformed into the smart manufacturers.

Artificial intelligence has brought in a new generation of robotics technology: Robotics 2.0. The principal challenge is the transformation from original manual programming methods to true autonomous learning. Faced with this challenge for innovation in AI robotics, how can Taiwan's manufacturing industry best seize the opportunity?

To realize the smart city of the future, it is indispensable to build a safer and more efficient traffic environment, and smart vehicles with networking and various advanced functions are the key.

With the rapid development of the automotive industry in smart driving, safety assistance, automotive electronics, and human-machine interface-related technologies, the integration of virtual and real superimposed displays, driver monitoring systems (DMS), interactive functions, Internet of Things (IoT) of the smart cockpit system have become the current trend.

The unlimited business opportunities brought by the space industry are highly valued by governments and enterprises of various countries. As the technology research and development of the global industry becomes more and more mature, the future will enter the new space era.

The IoT is becoming fragmented, and the market demand for customized measurement is increasing. Under the four conditions of product size and shape, high computing, networking capabilities, and sensor interface integration, measurement and IoT vendors will customize design, so this article will focus on a key application of customized measurement: smart sensor.

AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) is a high-speed and high-precision optical image inspection system. It uses machine vision as the inspection standard technology to improve the shortcomings of traditional manual inspection using optical instruments. The application level includes research and development from high-tech industries, manufacturing quality control, and even national defense, people's livelihood, medical care, environmental protection, electric power, etc., but why do we need AI when we have AOI? Let's find out together.

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.

Industrial robot system integrators are located at the downstream application end of the robot industry chain, providing application solutions to end customers. It is responsible for the secondary development of industrial robot applications and the integration of peripheral automation equipment and is an important part of industrial robot automation applications.

The image recognition function of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming more and more powerful. Face recognition, license plate recognition, and object recognition are not uncommon. In the fields of smart manufacturing and warehousing logistics, more and more manufacturers are beginning to introduce AI technology into more special applications.

In the new normal of future changes, whether it is the ICT industry, the supply chain, or even the industrial ecosystem, it is necessary to think about how to improve resilience to respond to environmental changes from a mid-to-long-term perspective. It will be important to improve the resilience of the supply chain from procurement to production. The key to future competitiveness.
