NTUT’s President Sea-Fue Wang expressed appreciation for Delta’s continued support. In 2011, Delta and NTUT set up the Delta Automation Center, which comprised the Industrial Automation Laboratory and the System Application Laboratory. Since then, NTUT and Delta’s long-term and close cooperation have cultivated thousands of young talents for the industrial automation industry. The Delta Smart Manufacturing Lab will be a new milestone for collaboration in meeting the growing trend of smart manufacturing. President Wang said, “NTUT is currently applying for funding for a Technical Practical Training Program from the Ministry of Education. Once completed, NTUT plans to add more of Delta’s automation products, creating even more possibilities for the future engineers of the manufacturing industry.”

Delta IABG’s General Manager Mr. Andy Liu indicated that smart manufacturing is the market trend of the future and the key to industrial success. Delta has long been dedicated to developing industrial automation products for smart manufacturing solutions. Delta is also working on promoting academic collaboration to develop more future talent for smart manufacturing. The Delta Advanced Automation Design Contest that has taken place every year since 2014 is an excellent stage for young talents to present the techniques they have learned with creativity and practical operations. NTUT teams frequently display their outstanding capabilities at the competition. Since collaborating with NTUT in 2011, Delta has attracted many excellent NTUT graduates with exceptional hands-on abilities to join the company. With the new Delta Smart Manufacturing Lab and the latest Delta products including robots, machine visual systems, and sensors, the company expects to cultivate more outstanding young talents, and elevate the overall performance of the manufacturing industry in Taiwan.
