Smart machine tools originally referred to various stand-alone machines with auxiliary software functions, developed for machine tool factories to improve machine tool operating efficiency. In recent years, under the wave of Industry 4.0, smart machine tools have been given new definitions. Besides having enhanced auxiliary functions, smart machines need to complete production in coordination with all the equipment in the factory through the communication interface.

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.

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?

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

Wisdom Manufacturing (WM) is the use of advanced manufacturing technology and new-generation information technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), etc., to highly customize every link of the production process and use advanced manufacturing models to adapt to rapidly changing external market demands.

With the reduction of the labor force and the rise of labor costs in emerging countries such as China and other Southeast Asian countries, production lines are increasing their reliance on industrial robots for processing or assembly processes. With the development of technology, the environment in which robots and laborers work together will become more common, and safety issues will become more complex.

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.

The Metaverse is bringing virtual gamers to a wireless sci-fi vision with an infinite number of virtual worlds. However, you will find some transformation and benefits in how manufacturers can be more productive in the digital and physical worlds.

A service robot is defined as improving the quality and convenience of human life. It provides semi-automatic or fully automatic services through the combination of a mobile base and a robotic arm and is equipped with a controller device.

With the rapid development of emerging industries such as the Internet of Things and mobile Internet, smart sensors are becoming more popular. Smart sensors are composed of sensing elements and signal conditioning circuit controllers that have data acquisition, conversion, analysis, and even decision-making functions. Intelligence can improve the accuracy of the sensor, reduce power consumption and volume, and achieve easier networking, thereby expanding the application range of the sensor and making its development more rapid and effective.

The development of new technologies has brought the whole world into the era of the Internet of Things. This new era has more advancements in the area of intelligent design than the information age, and smart sensors have played an indispensable role in its development.

The Smart Machinery Cloud Platform intends to standardize terminal software and hardware, application tools, and operation platforms to assist enterprises in their digital transformation.

IoT is the current mainstream trend in technology. In this way, we will discuss the industrial changes and market opportunities of the digital revolution, and will further analyze the technology and application fields of IoT.

The Southeast Asian Manufacturing Alliance, initiated by Singapore, is mainly characterized by orderly and divided industrial zone planning. Singapore is a market entry hub and a high-tech development center.

Smart Building is to integrate building design and information communication active perception and active control technology to achieve safety, health, convenience, comfort, energy saving, and create a humanized living space as the goal.

To enhance competitiveness, manufacturers are driving a shift from a reactive problem-solving model to a more proactive device, process, product, and plant management model.

How to make good use of digital technology to analyze, formulate strategies, and respond quickly at the core of enterprise operations has become the key to development.

With the fermentation of the metaverse theme, after the introduction of AI, Internet of Things, digital twin, AR/VR and other technologies in manufacturing smart factories, the pace of human-machine interface (HMI) intelligence is getting faster and faster. Among them, high elasticity, visibility and reliability will be the three major trends of its development.
