With the development of the electric vehicle market, the braking energy recovery system has received extensive attention, because driving distance can be extended through the braking energy recovery system.
In 2020, the global machine tool market was worth 111.36 billion U.S. dollars. Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic and the Sino-US trade war, China’s import and export value of machine tools declined by 17.7% and 11.5% respectively in 2020 compared to 2019. However, it is still the world’s largest machine tool market, accounting for approximately 35% of the world’s total.
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.
The manufacturing industry has faced multiple operational obstacles caused by the pandemic. How can companies use digital technology to strengthen the industrial ecological chain and their own health in an all-around way?
Countries are actively developing heavy industries, manufacturing, and infrastructure to drive market growth, but they often pay environmental costs accordingly. Approximately 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions come from infrastructure construction and operations, such as power plants, buildings, and transportation. What will be the effect of promoting society's emphasis on low-carbon manufacturing?
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.
Since Germany called out "Industry 4.0", the related issues have quickly fermented around the world. U.S. government immediately put forward the "Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Program (AMP)" focusing on emerging technologies that can be quickly commercialized. Government R&D facilities are shared to promote industry one-stop collaborative R&D capabilities, reducing the risks of commercialization.
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.
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?
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.
Geographically, Turkey is a natural land bridge located on the east-west axis and the north-south axis. It connects European, Middle Eastern, African, and Central Asian markets, giving it great geographical and economic advantages. Holding this key global position, its central location creates an efficient and cost-effective export hinterland and market for major trading partners.
In recent years, Taiwan’s "mechanical transmission equipment industry", "pumps, compressors, stopcock and valve industry", "other general equipment and machinery", and other relevant industries have increased their production indexes, mainly because of the active demands for smart automation equipment which has driven the increase in overall output.
