Fuburg said that a wet tissue production line is needed 12 to 15 workers. However, only the packaging process needs eight workers. As long as the wet tissue packaging machine had been used, each wet tissue production line would save six to eight workers.

“Few of international companies are willing to open its communications protocol, it’s hard to cooperate with them in realizing industrial 4.0.” said Clement Lin, Nexcom Chairperson.

Therefore, the three Taiwanese companies work together and make the best use of Taiwanese industrial ecosystem in light of competing in global smart manufacturing.

Furthermore, the wet tissue packaging machine is a combination of Fuburg’s knowledge of manufacturing process, Hiwin’s Delta robotic arm, teaching box and server drive from Hiwin Mikrosystem, Nexcom’s EtherCAT robot control unit, EtherCAT I/O control card, human–computer interactionm (HCI), etc.
