Industrial Technology Research Institute

Technology Overview

As the domestic machinery industry undergoes digital transformation of production lines, problems of incompatibility between various Smart Machine Boxes (SMBs) have emerged. ITRI has launched an intelligent cloud platform for the machinery industry in order to integrate different SMB systems from various vendors. It allows industry, academia, and research institutes to focus efforts on the development of domain knowledge and application services, greatly increasing application options for clients. Internet of things, cloud computing, software virtualization and containerization are among the technologies utilized by the platform; meanwhile, it also includes standardized SMB execution environment and information models, standardized development and installation processes, and standardized e-commerce operating platforms. It is currently a globally unique cloud service platform oriented for the machinery industry.

The intelligent cloud platform combines the expertise of legal entities in various industrial fields and develops smart machinery solutions based on domain knowledge and application requirements of six major industries (metal cutting, metal forming, plastic injection, textiles, electronics, and fasteners), establishing a smart machinery industry ecosystem. Through the application of smart machinery solutions, it assists these six major industries in the adoption of intelligent manufacturing to establish differentiated competitive advantages.
