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.

The effects of Industry 4.0 in many industries have already been seen, with improvements to existing value propositions emerging, or entirely new ones being developed. In aviation, digital technology has already fundamentally changed the airline industry landscape.

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

In 2020, Taiwan's machinery industry will first stabilize its foundation and upgrade its technology, and gradually expand the demand for intelligence at home and abroad. In the future, it is expected to increase the market for smart machinery and smart manufacturing, and accelerate the realization of its vision of two trillion yuan in output value by 2025.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform how healthcare is delivered. A joint report with the European Union’s EIT Health explores how it can support improvements in care outcomes, patient experience, and access to healthcare services.

The US-China trade war has triggered a major reshuffle of the supply chain. The global manufacturing industry is facing unprecedented challenges. In the process of transforming smart manufacturing, the biggest problem is the integration of operating technology (OT) and information technology (IT). Only by working with the smart manufacturing ecosystem can we have a chance to survive in the changes and seize future business opportunities.

Africa is currently in a stage of explosive population growth. Currently, the entire African continent has a population of approximately 1 billion, and there will be 2 billion people by 2050. Compared with the fact that China’s surplus labor force is roughly exhausted, the African continent is a huge and attractive market for foreign investors.

Many generation industrialists gradually move towards brand thinking, and then begin to build the ability to use data analysis techniques to capture business opportunities.

It is predicted that in 2021, the four major industries of Taiwan's metal electrical and mechanical industries, information electronics, chemical industry, and people's livelihood industry will all grow positively.

The machinery industry is the development focus of all countries and indirectly becomes a symbol of national competitiveness. The world's major industrial countries with high international competitiveness, such as Germany, Japan, and the United States, have the foundation of precision machinery manufacturing technology and the development of intelligent machinery. The energy of the device. Therefore, it can support the development of its domestic automobile, aerospace, transportation, information, optoelectronics, communications, defense weapons, and energy industries.

The United Nations Industrial Development Agency (UNIDO) announced the July 2020 World Manufacturing Competitiveness Index (CIP) which is based on 2018 indicators. South Korea ranks third after Germany and China among 152 countries in the world. CIP is a composite index of 8 items including per capita manufacturing, value-added, and manufacturing export value. It reflects the overall competitiveness of the manufacturing industry in each country. UNIDO publishes the CIP every other year.

South Korea is a country lacking natural resources. Its economic development is export-oriented, and its industrial structure is dominated by heavy chemical industries. The five major industries, including automobiles, shipbuilding, semiconductors, steel, and smartphones, earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country's economic growth.

Through national key projects, the Taiwanese government announced that it plans to invest more than one trillion yuan in transportation technology to stimulate the development of convenient transportation and boost the Taiwan economy.

With the soaring volume of e-commerce transactions, the demand for logistics is also rising. In the process of industry transformation and upgrading, smart technology has become one of the keys to industry development.

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?

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.

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.

Digital transformation is the process of applying digital technology to recreate the way work is done to create and provide new value.

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.

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.
