The Taiwan Electronic Equipment Industry Association (TEEIA) has formed an Industry 4.0 group that will be geared toward fostering development of smart factory and production processes in Taiwan in order to help local makers stay competitive in the market.
Part of the developments will include improved self automation for equipment and smart manufacturing for industries including displays and semiconductors in order to meet new and diverse production demand as well as meet diverse requirements as a result of the Internet of Things (IoT).
