The trade war and the epidemic have impacted the global economy. No country can stay aside. As the world's top three exporters of machine tools, Japan is also facing the dilemma of a simultaneous decline in export and domestic demand! Although the orders from China in June ended Japan’s 27 consecutive months of negative growth over the same period, the machine tool industry’s demand for face-to-face with customers and delivery of machine installations has stagnated because the restrictions on movement have not been lifted, and the original production plan in the case of delay or contraction, all localities remain cautious about investment. Facing the impact of the epidemic, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry have also offered relief measures for manufacturers, including rent, working capital, preferential loans, and trade insurance, to avoid large-scale corporate failures in the country, and encourage Japanese companies to increase capital investment. Maintain the momentum of economic growth.

The world has entered the era of Industry 4.0. robots assist human manufacturing, emphasizing the use of "human-machine collaboration" to move toward smart production. In recent years, the population aging problem faced by developed countries has caused the production costs of industry and manufacturing to increase year by year. Enterprises have deployed automation equipment to improve production efficiency. Various industries have also undergone tremendous changes in this intelligent wave.

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

In the trend of industrial automation, motion control is a key part of it. Automating operations through machines can avoid a lot of human error, and can also speed up production efficiency and efficiency. How to make the machine act according to the command is the application category of machine motion control.

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.

In the era of digitization of science and technology, only by mastering key technologies and continuously following technological changes can we consolidate our competitiveness. Nowadays, packaging machinery combines data connection, unmanned operation, green packaging materials, and safety considerations, and enriches relevant intelligent data technology, so that it can continue to progress in the market.

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.

Industrial automation has been a common trend in global industrial development. With the rapid development of technology and the complexity of product manufacturing, how to optimize the production efficiency of a factory through intelligent management and corresponding equipment supporting to achieve an intelligent factory and flexible manufacturing production is the latest direction in the development of the automation industry.

With the global economic development, the demand of the consumer market has driven the vigorous growth of the textile industry. However, under the business model of production-based sales, excessive production has not only caused environmental pollution but has also caused unnecessary waste of resources. Over the past few years, this has led the United Nations and the European Union, to begin to advocate "sustainability" and "environmental protection" as the focus of global development for the next 10 years.

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.

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?

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.

Industrial Internet of Things (Indusrial IoT, or IIoT) is the expansion and use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in industrial applications. Industrial IoT focuses on machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, big data, and machine learning (ML) to make industrial operations more efficient and reliable. IIoT covers the entire industrial application, including robotics, medical equipment, and software-defined production processes.

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.

The concept of the Metaverse is to use immersive technology to create a second "virtual parallel time and space" in the physical world. People will be able to enter a new virtual world where they can work, socialize and play through virtual identities.

In recent years, advanced countries have carried out power grid upgrade plans. To promote energy conservation and carbon reduction policies, Taiwan has advanced the Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) as one of its national energy conservation and carbon reduction plans, with 4G/5G and other communication industries included in the plan. The development and integration of smart grid applications and 5G communication technology will be important industrial advances worth paying attention to.

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.
