  • 18th Century

    18th Century
    Actuating the mechanization of production using water and steam power to replace human and animal

  • 20th Century

    20th Century
    Electrified mechanization introduces mass production

  • 70's

    70's
    Automate production and widespread use of digital logic circuits, and its derived technologies

  • Present

    Present
    Analyzing the Big Data and IoT (Internet of Things) to integrate the manufacturing resources, this builds an Intelligent Factory with adaptability.

  • IOT

    IOT
    Internet of Things (IoT) digitalizes the real life. To achieve smart identification and management, IoT brings everything on-line through wireless data communication technology like 4G, WiFi, and ZigBee. The application is broad, such as smart home system and automatic safety system. It can also analyze and react immediately base on different triggered event.

  • Cyber-Physical System

    Cyber-Physical System
    A cyber-physical system (CPS) is a system of collaborating computational elements controlling physical entities. CPS are physical and engineered systems whose operations are monitored, coordinated, controlled and integrated by a computing and communication core. They allow us to add capabilities to physical systems by merging computing and communication with physical processes.

  • CPS Benefits

    CPS benefits:
    • Safer and more efficient systems
    • Reduce the cost of building and operating the systems
    • Build complex systems that provide new capabilities
    • Reduced cost of computation, networking, and sensing
    • Enables national or global scale CPS’s
