Over the past 10 years, with the joint efforts of government and industry, Taiwan's
machine tools have earned a place in international markets through outstanding
manufacturing quality and performance. Taiwan's machine tools serve as a brand
and express the spirit of "High-tech, precision, innovation, global service,
advancement and flexibility" in the international markets.
Utilizing remote technology
to establish a new model

d
The short-chain revolution and the U.S.
– China trade war have caused manufacturing industries to migrate. The previously expected economic recovery was delayed by the coronavirus pandemic, which
has forced global manufacturing industries to move towards digitalization. Taiwan's machine tool manufacturers, such as
YCM, Goodway and Campro, etc. use IoT
technology to transfer real-time information
in the workshop, including data such as
production progress and machine operation status. Advanced applications such as
monitoring dashboard and mobile devices are employed to achieve remote control and management (RCM). The personnel can solve real-time problem without
frequently entering the workshop. Besides, by browsing split-screen, more machines can be managed with less manpower. In addition to RCM, the use of
augmented reality (AR) under a 5G
special 2020 T + T Technika a trh
technical environment also provides the
industry a non-contact management model. Via AR remote, manufacturer's support experts can provide online troubleshooting or repair assistance for the
equipment by visual instructions, which
can replace physical inspection in the
workshop. For manufacturers, preventative and predictive maintenance not only
reduce unnecessary daily maintenance
costs, but can also improve the inspection
accuracy or predict when a production
bottleneck or machine failure will occur.
The way to achieve smart manufacturing
not only depends on an unmanned environment. Instead, it requires various intelligent tools and equipment, software, and
human-machine interfaces. It also needs
to enhance the integration of personnel
and automated devices to meet requirements, which has an irreplaceable position in the manufacturing field. Nowadays,
we are in a special era where establishing
a new management model for any manufacturer is especially important.
With a solid foundation base, Taiwan's
machine tool industry has seized the opportunity to quickly transform to smart
manufacturing, occupying an important
position in the global industrial chain with
the advantage of combining the resources
of supply chain and the markets. As the
coronavirus epidemic spreads around the
world, the Taiwan International Machine
Tool Show (TMTS 2020) hosted by the
Taiwan Machine Tool and Accessory
Builder's Association (TMBA), will be
changed to an online exhibition (TMTS
Virtual). TMTS Virtual will open on November 10 this year. This online exhibition will showcase the latest products,
allowing global buyers to interact with
exhibitors without the limit of time zone and boundaries. Now, follow the footsteps of TMTS VIRTUAL and try the
virtual experience and visit the show
anywhere anytime.
