Building Digitalization and Smart Manufacturing

TECHMAN (TM) Robot will return to the iREX International Robot Exhibition in 
Japan on December 18th in full force, unveiling the the brand new chapter of 
smart manufacturing. From the human-computer collaboration of the production 
line, the rapid integration of smart stacking application solutions and the 
integration of AI vision improve the inspection efficiency of automated 
production. Manufacturing can then connect with the intelligent management 
system in the factory, realizing the future of fully integrated virtual smart 
manufacturing.

AI - Robotic Arm

TM Robot has been developing the AI vision, and is the industry's first 
integration of traditional machine and advanced AI vision in a single robotic 
system. Without the need for additional controllers, time and money required in 
the past, integration have been considerably reduced. The built-in machine 
vision of TM Robots integrates with light, industrial cameras and sensing 
elements to capture images. The deep learning technology of AI is also combined 
in order to accurately sense the shape, type and color of an object as a means 
to further enhance the inspection efficiency and difficulty in automated 
production, improving the quality inspection and accuracy in different 
industries. The inspection data is also used as a guide in manufacturing - a 
step towards digital transformation.

Factory Intelligent Management System - TMmanager

TMmanager, a factory intelligent management system launched by TM Robot, is an 
industrial graphic control software for intelligent management of factory 
processes and equipment. It is an automatic management system that consists of 
real-time system monitoring and data analysis. The Arm Management System (RMS) 
exclusively developed by TMmanager connects to TM's collaborative arms 
seamlessly, providing real-time monitoring of the operation of the robotic 
arms. Functional modules of the factory automation equipment such as Shop Floor 
Control System (SFC System) are also effectively managed. With intuitive, easy 
and fully customized operation panels, TMmanager offers comprehensive smart 
manufacturing management solutions. TM Robot expresses: "Aside from developing 
robot applications, we consider ourselves as a software company. From investing 
in AI vision to developing factory smart management system 'TMmanager', we are 
the best indispensable partner for intelligent manufacturing in terms of 
virtual integration for manufacturers!"

A Japanese research company, Fuji Keizai, has released and predicted that by 
2025, the global market scale for manufacturing robots used in factories will 
expand 2.5 times from 2018, reaching 2.8675 trillion JPY. And the collaborative 
robot market scale in 2019 will grow by approximately 30% compared to 2018, 
reaching 78.2 billion JPY. Not only has TM Robot collaborated with the Japanese 
pharmaceutical and automation equipment factory, Omron, in strategic sales, but 
also proactively developing local distributors. TM Robot currently have two 
distributors and several system integrators which have successfully entered the 
large Japanese automobile manufacturers. In the future, TM Robot will continue 
to extend their development to fields covering automobiles, food and cosmetics. 
With the supplemented help of AI vision and factory intelligent management, TM 
Robot are able to assist industries to move towards the future of smart 
manufacturing.
