World Trade Centre will host the Taiwan International Machine Show (TIMTOS). The show

machine tools, sensors, robots, cloud data analysis, remote monitoring and other complete lines or complete plant solutions – all dedicated to moving Industry 4.0 forward.

Smart manufacturing is an important part

of Industry 4.0 and artificial intelligence

(AI) is at the very core of developing smart

manufacturing. The expo will thus also

focus heavily on AI: international technological companies and potential new talents

from Taiwan will introduce their latest

development software, key components,

modules and complete machines which

aid industry in utilising AI technologies to

achieve synergy between man and machine

and improve efficiency and flexibility.

The number of exhibitors and stands will

total 1,200 and 7,000 respectively,

a record-breaking number which makes

TIMTOS the third largest machine tool

expo in the world.

The show's internationalisation has also

strengthened over time. Foreign exhibitors

from Germany, Italy, Switzerland, USA,

Denmark and Turkey will have their own

national exhibition halls at the expo.

for punching, shearing and casting of

materials, CAD/CAM and software, quality
