In recent years, with the development of Industry 4.0, factory automation has become a future trend.

The recent epidemic in Europe and the United States has gradually slowed down. Countries have begun to plan to gradually restart economic activities, which will help demand to recover and manufacturing activities in manufacturing will gradually increase.

The revenue of the laser industry grows higher and higher in recent years. As manufacturing industry moves toward smart, intelligence and systematization, the laser manufacturing process has become an indispensable role in the manufacturing industry.

Lean production emphasizes customer-oriented, waste elimination, and continuous improvement as the core, and obtains the maximum benefit with the least input cost.

Discrete manufacturing is an industry term for the manufacturing of finished products that are distinct items capable of being easily counted, touched, or seen. Discrete manufacturing involves parts and systems like nuts and bolts, brackets, wires, assemblies, and individual products.

Why has the software industry or the hardware industry been talking about digital transformation in recent years? What is the necessity and challenges of Taiwan's manufacturing industry for digital transformation?

Advanced manufacturing is the use of innovative technologies to improve products or production processes. Related technologies are called "advanced", "innovative" or "frontier". Advanced manufacturing technology is gradually maturing, integrating innovative technology into products and manufacturing processes to enhance competitiveness and increase value.

Additive manufacturing is playing an increasingly important role in the manufacturing industry and is mainly used in toolmaking and prototype construction.

Additive manufacturing has a great future ahead of it. The current development of additive manufacturing has already surpassed the predictions made in studies carried out in previous years. Renowned research institutions such as ETH Zurich are convinced that 3D metal printing will become increasingly important in mechanical engineering and toolmaking.

The ASEAN countries' economy is growing stronger, and it is expected to leap into the world's fourth-largest economy in 2030. Taiwan has geographical advantages and is actively developing a south-facing economic island chain.

Industry 4.0 has brought about changes in production logic. Through cloud technology and the use of big data, it is possible to monitor the entire production process, automatically detect problems and eliminate obstacles, and at the same time be able to accurately produce and schedule resources, reduce costs and waste of resources, and achieve the most efficient Production. In the future, the new trend of Industry 4.0 will tend to analyze huge amounts of data and manufacture customized products close to the client.

Smart machinery manufacturers must accelerate innovation, gain the policy resources of the production and innovation platform, develop the domestic industrial acceleration scale group, and the intelligent diagnosis maintenance system (IDMS), which has been successfully introduced into the innovative application of high-tech industries.

Today we are talking about CAD. Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computers (or workstations) to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design.

From January to June 2020, Vietnam's industrial production index increased by 2.71% compared to the same period last year (2019).

An issue closely related to the smart factory debate concerns the position occupied by industrial production in overall social relationships; in other words, the relationship between factory and society, within which there is a new reflection on the relationship between factories and urban spaces, cities.

How to choose the rise of India's manufacturing industry and whether it can accelerate its growth will determine whether Taiwan's machine tool industry can find a new blue ocean in South Asia as expected.

2020 is a year of global economic challenges. The United States has the worst epidemic in the world, ethnic conflicts, and political turmoil, but US stocks have soared. After the epidemic and ethnic conflicts, when and how will the US economy restart?

According to the International Economic Forecasting Agency, the global economic growth of this year (2020) is almost the same as the growth rate of 2019. However, the impact of the covid-19 may affect the economy of various countries in the short term and even impact the industrial supply chain. The current situation of the international economy and explain the possible influence factors of the recent development of the North American market, including the US-Canada-Mexico Agreement, the US-Japan Agreement, the US-China trade war, etc., and then the development of the supply chain changes explore the outlook for the North American market.

Green Manufacturing, also known as environmentally conscious manufacturing, is a manufacturing model that considers environmental impact and benefits.

Taiwan's IBM announced that it has joined forces with a large domestic solution integrator (SI) to identify the pain points that are difficult to integrate between IT and OT in the manufacturing industry, and uses the IBM Smart Manufacturing 5C maturity model as the blueprint. Both parties will provide pre-introduction evaluation services, depending on needs. However, SI will provide OT and IT integration services, or IBM will provide more data-driven AI value-added services.
