Industrial Internet of Things (Indusrial IoT, or IIoT) is the expansion and use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in industrial applications. Industrial IoT focuses on machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, big data, and machine learning (ML) to make industrial operations more efficient and reliable. IIoT covers the entire industrial application, including robotics, medical equipment, and software-defined production processes.
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.
Gear transmission systems are widely used in various industrial products and equipment, from designing, manufacturing, testing to applying, and form a technical field of its own. In recent years, with the development and manufacturing of high-tech products, the non-cutting gears as plastics and powder metallurgy are used with non-metal cutting precision pinion transmission mechanisms more and more often as the metal cutting gears.
Bolt is one of the basic hardware components in the engineering and construction industry. The production process of bolts has evolved into an advanced and high-tech multi-step process.
Non-woven fabrics have been produced since the early stages of the petrochemical industry. During this time, non-woven fabrics were only used for their softness and bulkiness in packaging, covering, and filling. Due to the rapid development of material science, the application scope of non-woven fabrics has expanded to various fields of industry and commerce, civil engineering, medical treatment, agriculture and environmental engineering. Its existence can be seen everywhere, especially in its very early uses in agriculture.
Food safety issues have always been the focus of social concern, and various countries and organizations have also put forward relevant food safety regulations and testing standards to ensure the health and safety of food processing and food processing technology engaged with it.
Selective laser sintering is an additive manufacturing technology that sinters small particles of polymer powder into a 3D three-dimensional structure through high-power laser light; thus, this is also called selective laser sintering 3D printing, or SLS 3D printing.
Etching is a technique to process the surface of the object by using chemical strong acid corrosion, mechanical polishing, or electrochemical electrolysis. In addition to enhancing aesthetics, it furthermore increases the added value of the object. Procedures from traditional metal processing to high-tech semiconductor manufacturing are all within the scope of applications of etching technique.
Central data processing services are usually used to complete key tasks in computer and telematics processing. Services generally include environmental control, (air conditioning system to prevent fire, etc.) and maintaining emergency power, redundancy, and high physical security.
Micromachining technology is an important support technology for modern high-tech warfare, and is the development foundation and direction of modern high-tech industries, science and technology.
During the operation of a factory, the flow of materials determines the production efficiency of the factory. Recently, production lines have gradually added automation equipment, but the supply or handling of materials to and from the production line still relies on manual handling operations. This often results in unsmooth logistics and interrupted production flow. To avoid interruptions in supply, and reduce storage and production space, Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) technology offers an unmanned management solution.
Today’s feature-rich hand tools enable manual operations to be more efficient, comfortable, and safe, thereby increasing productivity, improving work quality, and reducing fatigue and wear.
Smart machine tools originally referred to various stand-alone machines with auxiliary software functions, developed for machine tool factories to improve machine tool operating efficiency. In recent years, under the wave of Industry 4.0, smart machine tools have been given new definitions. Besides having enhanced auxiliary functions, smart machines need to complete production in coordination with all the equipment in the factory through the communication interface.
The surge in the production of smartphones, the increasing penetration of artificial intelligence (AI) in commercial and consumer applications, and the decline in the price of consumer electronic devices are some of the main factors that may drive market growth of glass.
The prospects of the global construction industry are promising. The main driving forces of market growth are growth of urbanization and population, housing market, and infrastructure.
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?
Plastic granulation technology is mainly used in plastic product manufacturing and resource recycling to make various plastic products or plastic raw materials, and has both environmental and economic benefits.
In the past, excessive consumption, wanton mining, indiscrete manufacturing, and careless abandonment of wastes, led to the rapid depletion of natural resources. Now, the pursuit of a circular economy, with the goal of zero waste through recycling of resources, is being implemented in an attempt to solve environmental problems.
