Technology supports and drives innovation. Technological advancements allow manufacturers to create higher quality goods, increase production speeds, lower expenses, and realize more efficient operations to become more competitive.

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.

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.”

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.

In the past few years, with the continuous improvement of technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning (DL), computer vision (CV), virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR), the application scope of mechanical transmission components has expanded to each field.

Latin America not only has vast territory, rich natural resources, sufficient consumption capacity, and market potential but also has successfully promoted regional economic integration over the years. Latin American investment and trade opportunities should not be underestimated.

For many people working in hazardous environments and confined spaces, the correct respiratory protective equipment (RPE) is critical to maintaining health and safety and protecting lives. Respiratory protective equipment provides indispensable protection.

In the machining process, as the tool cuts off the unnecessary material from the workpiece, a cutting force will be generated on the workpiece. To resist the cutting force and allow the cutting process to be completed, the workpiece must be firmly clamped on the machine tool. The device that positions and clamps the workpiece is called a fixture. The device that holds and guides the cutting tool is called a jig.

Deburring is the removal thorns or burrs that have formed around the machined edges of a workpiece. The burr may seem small, but it can directly affect the quality and precision of the product.

Supply chain management (SCM) is the management of the flow of goods and services and includes all processes that transform raw materials into final products. It involves the active streamlining of a business's supply-side activities to maximize customer value and gain a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

The Woodworking machine is a type of machine that is utilized to process wood to make different objects, artefacts, etc. These woodworking machines are generally powered by electric motors and are exclusively used in woodworking. Sometimes even the grinding machines, which are typically used for grinding objects down to smaller pieces are also considered to be a part of woodworking machinery.

The iron and steel industry mainly includes the mining and production of ferrous metals such as iron, chromium, manganese, and other minerals. It is one of Taiwan’s most important raw material industries.

A mold is a production tool that can produce parts with certain shape and size requirements. In industrial production, various presses and special tools installed on the press are used to make metal or non-metallic materials into parts or products of the desired shape through pressure. Such special tools are collectively referred to as molds.

In manufacturing management information systems, a BOM is often mentioned. A BOM is the "Bill of Materials", also known as the product structure table. The Bill of Materials refers to the list of parts and components required for the product and its processing instructions.

The term MRO is an acronym that stands for maintenance, repair, and operations. The term is used to describe the operations and activities that are associated with the upkeep of a plant or facility and can include the physical maintenance of the structure or building, the systems that operate within the facility, and the equipment used to produce the plant or facility’s primary business output.

The German automotive industry has always been a core industry driving employment and economic growth, and maintaining global competitiveness.

Planetary reducers have been in existence for more than 30 years. During this time, planetary reducers only appeared in high-end equipment in Europe and America. But now, with new trends in automation, planetary reducers have been widely adapted for use in industries including in the machine tool, semiconductor, packaging, medical, food, aerospace, and other industries. High, medium and low power servo motors with planetary reducers have become standard. What are the applications and advantages of planetary reducers? This article will let you know more about planetary reducers.

Two super-hard materials which are commonly used in industrial processing are diamond and cubic boron nitride. After a series of processing procedures, these two super-hard materials can be made into various tools or used directly in various devices. Here we focus on one application, the diamond grinding tool.

Quantitative observation for manufacturing cannot rely solely on human senses, such as vision, hearing, touch, etc., but requires special measuring instruments. Measurement refers to the numerical representation of the size of an object based on a certain standard (unit).

In recent years, extreme climate has intensified and natural disasters have continued to be tragic. People all over the world have seen it, and related carbon reduction issues have resurfaced. Net Zero, Carbon Neutral, and Carbon Negative have become popular keywords, but what do you really understand about these?
