In the next 10 years, the Internet of Things will have explosive growth. Advantech and PCB Big Three plan to reach Industry 4.0 within two years.

PCB is the first to introduce Industry 4.0, industrial computer leader Advantech (2395) and Xinxing (3037), Jingpeng (2355), Yaohua (2367) 3 PCB manufacturers and Xunde (6438), Dingxin computer and other companies to create smart manufacturing The alliance plans to achieve the three goals of the establishment of the Industry 4.0 system, the formation of the Taiwan industry demonstration case and the development of the Internet of Things to create a company within two years.

Liu Kezhen, Chairman of Advantech, pointed out that the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs promoted the introduction of the common platform for smart manufacturing of the electronic information industry, which is in line with Advantech's "shared economy" and "cross-border integration" IoT business model. The PCB industry has high output value and multi-device characteristics. Taiwan's key industries, suitable for the industry 4.0 demonstration field, through the cooperation with three major domestic PCB manufacturers Yaohua, Xinxing, Jingpeng, and Xunde, Dingxin, etc., to form the "PCB A-Team" national team to jointly build Industry 4.0 intelligent manufacturing system, establishing international standards.

The PCB A-Team Wisdom Manufacturing Alliance has received more than 100 million grants from the Industrial Bureau's Smart Manufacturing Industry Upgrade Program for two years. Integrating IT and OT to foster intelligent and networked common smart manufacturing networking platforms and share key technologies and solutions. .

Liu Kezhen also declared that after PCB A-Team became a military, it will achieve three major goals within two years, including providing innovative and valuable industrial 4.0 system construction, forming Taiwan's most advanced industrial 4.0 demonstration case, and will be with 3 PCBs in 2019. The factory has developed the “Group Research and Innovation” Industry 4.0 co-creation company to bring cross-domain benefits to the Internet of Things industry.

Liu Kezhen is optimistic that the Internet of Things will have explosive growth in the next 10 years. The short-term plan will assist three PCB manufacturers to establish a war room in the next quarter, build a data visualization system, a factory APP system, etc., and complete the construction of Industry 4.0, which is expected to bring to the PCB industry. Upgrade the benefits, and officially enter the industrial computer from the traditional foundry business into the system solver, and play the "soft and hard" value.

The "Qianyan Zhizao" company, which was established next year, can copy relevant experience to related industries such as electronics manufacturing, metal processing, and footwear, and accelerate the development of Taiwan's industrial smart manufacturing.
