Strengthen the development of smart machinery and provide opportunities for upgrading and transformation of the machine tool industry

Since 2017, the output value of Taiwan's machinery industry has exceeded 1 trillion for two consecutive years. Among them, the machine tool industry, known as the "Mother of Machinery", has made Taiwan one of the top five exporters of machine tools in the world. However, in the face of the Sino-US trade war, the international The situation is erratic and changeable, the economic boom needs to be supported, and coupled with the diverse changes under the global Industry 4.0 wave, how Taiwan's machine tool industry can soar against the wind and maintain its development momentum is a major challenge. Among them, smart machinery is one of the core elements of Industry 4.0, and it is also a great tool to meet the demand for smart manufacturing. How to strengthen the development of smart machinery has become an important issue for the upgrading of Taiwan's machine tool industry and corporate transformation, and talents are even more important for smart machinery. Absolutely key to development.

Coming up for 45th anniversary

CHMER, which is about to enter its 45th anniversary, has developed with the positioning of "Intelligent Non-traditional Processing Total Solution". In addition to the four well-known product categories of "wire cutting machines, electrical discharge machines, deep hole machines, and high-speed processing machines", it also develops Actively invest in R&D and innovation in the fields of laser processing machines, electrochemical processing machines and composite processing, and actively meet the needs of precision molds and parts processing equipment in the aerospace, automotive, medical, 3C, and energy industries. CHMER is marketed around the world under its own brand CHMER. It is the largest manufacturer of wire cutting machines and electric discharge machines in Taiwan and the fifth largest in the world, and is a leader in precision processing equipment.

General Manager of CHMER Wang Chenhong said: "Facing the international competition, CHMER is committed to becoming a world-class leading brand of non-traditional processing technology solutions, and hopes to create a CHMER brand to compete globally with the high added value strategy of 'high precision * intelligence'" Development niche in the environment; in addition to continuing to improve professional technologies such as electrical discharge machining, laser machining, and electrochemical machining in non-traditional machining fields, and developing and manufacturing its own controllers, CHMER also targets the senses required for the development of Industry 4.0 smart machinery. Measurement applications, Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual and Physical Systems (CPS), big data, artificial intelligence and other related fields continue to improve and make breakthroughs. In response to this development demand, how to cultivate outstanding talents, shape an internationally competitive team, and strengthen the enterprise Innovation and research and development capabilities are even more urgent.”

Students benefit a lot from diverse learning

The students who participated in the project experienced a lot in the multi-faceted learning process. Zhou Guancheng, a student from Central Machinery, said: The course arranges for actual operation of the machine. Through hands-on work and personal observation, it makes it easier for us to understand the operation of the whole machine. He also believes that this kind of benign Interaction can greatly improve learning efficiency compared to working alone, and you can also better understand the current situation of the industry. I hope that I can integrate what I have learned with the industry in the future. Yang Yazhu, a student from Fengjia Machinery, said: Participating in this program allows students to no longer just study school courses. By participating in the program, students have more opportunities to contact companies. It is an alternative and great experience. Peng Chengyang, a student from Central Machinery, even mentioned: Only by having your own unique professional capabilities and prospects will you not be replaced in the future.

Actively recruit engineering talents

CHMER actively recruits CNC program development engineers, electronic R&D and design engineers, mechanical R&D and design engineers, etc. The salary is competitive and there are also monthly performance bonuses, four-season bonuses, year-end bonuses, etc. (depending on the company's operating profits and personal performance) ). In addition, benefits include birthday gifts, free meals, employee wedding subsidies, children's education subsidies, domestic and foreign travel subsidies, regular annual employee health examinations, etc.

CHMER has continued industry-university cooperation with Central Machinery and Fengjia Machinery for many years. In the process of industry-university cooperation, we know that technological development and talent cultivation are not achieved overnight. Close industry-academia exchanges help make advanced research more practical and practical for industry use. Academic research is the best backing for innovative research and development by companies; companies can also provide technical resources and internship opportunities, which will help students apply what they have learned and apply it for learning. Industry, government, and academia join hands to jointly create a new generation of A+ talents needed for the development of smart machinery and strengthen industrial competitiveness.
