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.

Today, the Internet of Things is still a hot topic in many industries. Emphasizing the benefits of adopting this technology, Fortune Business Insights estimates that by 2026, the global Internet of Things market will reach 1102.6 billion US dollars.

With the complexity of geopolitics, the shortage of talents, the popularity of 5G, and the maturity of Industry 4.0, can companies respond to future challenges? Future manufacturing trends will focus on three main directions: experience, innovation-driven energy, and supply chain restructuring.

Industrial 4.0 revolution swept through the entire manufacturing industry. Various countries and regions are actively deploying Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. How does Taiwan respond? How to combine your own advantages to gain a competitive advantage in this global 4.0 manufacturing revolution? Industrial reform involves not only technology, but also the integration and breakthrough of ideas.

The advent of the Industry 4.0 era, coupled with the continued fever of the China-US trade war, has driven Taiwan's manufacturing industry to transform its digital manufacturing into smart manufacturing through digitalization and intelligentization. However, there are four major challenges encountered during the transformation process, and finding a solution to the practice will be the key to the company's victory.

Industry 4.0 is well underway and already having a big impact on manufacturing throughout the world. Technologies such as IIoT, big data and analytics, digital twin/thread, and the smart connected factory and supply chain are all elements of Industry 4.0 that are becoming ubiquitous in almost every manufacturing company.

5G is regarded as an important promoter of Industry 4.0. 5G's high network speed and low power consumption enable each sensor of the future unmanned factory to be connected to the cloud, further extracting data for analysis, and driving artificial intelligence.

5G is the engine of Industry 4.0, reshaping the industry! How should Taiwan's manufacturing industry seize the opportunity to upgrade its manufacturing industry?

Driven by the German government's national policy, Industry 4.0 has become the most high-profile manufacturing issue in the world. Therefore, countries have successively launched corresponding smart manufacturing policies. With the help of 5G, the world is facing an uncompleted and perfect 5G environment to respond to smart manufacturing Yes, and Taiwan still has many opportunities and challenges in 5G smart manufacturing. Taiwan ’s 5G commercialization is imminent, and it is still expected that the government, telecommunications operators, and automation industry will work together to accelerate the full implementation of 5G.

Industrial robots can more quickly and handle large-scale mass production work. So far, nearly half of the industrial robots in the world are used by automobile factories. Let's understand the advantages and disadvantages and applications of industrial robots.

No manufacturer wants their production machinery to break down. Preventive maintenance is designed to avoid expensive interruptions to operations. However, some failures can’t be avoided.

Blockchain (or block chain) is a concatenated text record that connects and protects content by cryptography. Each block contains the encrypted hash of the previous block, the corresponding timestamp, and transaction data. This design makes the content of the block difficult to tamper with characteristic.

A difficult international situation, a virus, and trouble in different industries, it will not be an easy year for the machine tool industry. Find out why 2020 still holds a lot of potentials.

Industry 4.0 is a topic that has been heard frequently in recent years, and what is Industry 4.0 is mainly to use the Internet of Things and big data analysis, with equipment that can be automated to increase the productivity of the manufacturing industry, which is also a new revolution in the industry.

With the advent of Industry 4.0, countries have also adjusted their industrial manufacturing strategies to enhance their smart manufacturing capabilities.

Nowadays, the traditional industry combines the technology of the Internet of Things, towards the innovation of Industry 4.0 and the development of intelligent manufacturing.

The traditional manufacturing industry is facing a time when the smart transformation is needed. Through the introduction of intelligent production technology, new industrial development is started.

According to each exhibition of EMO Hannover, it can be observed that smart production will be the future of the industry, and smart manufacturing will drive the improvement of industrial technology and effectiveness, which will be another turning point for industrial development.
