Delta has built a strong task force with approximately 20 professionals from 10 divisions. They are dedicated to “smart manufacturing” and have conducted elaborate planning, equipment configuration and countless test runs to meet the goal of adopting smart technologies, such as AIoT, edge computing, AR/VR/MR and 5G within half a year. Introducing the concept of smart manufacturing to Taiwan, the team successively upgraded more than 16 workstations of the frequency converter production line at Taoyuan Plant 1. In addition, Delta aggressively organized an alliance for “decentralized manufacturing” and joined forces with Microsoft Taiwan, FET and PTC on March 30th. Mr. Simon Chang, president and COO of Delta noted, “Industrial automation will focus on customization and fulfilling the demands of “small batch and diverse” production. We expect a new industrial revolution brought on by flexible manufacturing. Delta is optimistic about this new direction and has aggressively invested in a smart transformation to complement our long dedication to industrial automation. Currently, the smart production line of Taoyuan Plant 1 is officially commissioned. We plan to replicate our experience in Taiwan throughout the world as we enter the era of smart factories.”

Paul Lin, plant manager of Delta’s Taoyuan Plant 1 indicated, “The smart upgrades of Taoyuan Plant 1 involve smart logistics, smart assembly, smart equipment and smart analysis. By adopting mixed reality (MR) to assist material preparation, the operators can see the route recommendation through MR glasses, profoundly enhances the efficiency of material preparation. In addition, we have also adopted virtual reality (VR) for personnel training to reinforce learning efficiency. At the same time, by integrating MR, artificial intelligence (AI) and production quality management (PQM), our personnel’s assembly became more efficient.” He added, “In terms of equipment, other than deploying a rapid transformable machine (RTM) equipped with a quick calibration mechanism, we also leveraged the advantage of “Digital Twin” to come up with the optimal process parameters through virtual integration and simulation. 

By continuously applying a successful formula to its 20 manufacturing sites and global partners, Delta is creating a robust ecosystem to achieve its vision of “Digitized Automation for a Changing World.”
