Development History

Since 1988, we have focused on magnetic tool innovation, achieving global patents and awards to lead in intelligent manufacturing.

2024

  • Received a subsidy from the Industrial Development Administration, Ministry of Economic Affairs under the Digital Manufacturing Management Value-Added Program.
  • Received a subsidy from the Industrial Development Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs under the Smart Machinery Academia-Industry Collaboration Subprogram.

2023

  • Received funding from the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA) under the Low-Carbon and Smart Upgrade Transformation Program for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (with more than 10 full-time employees).
  • Received a subsidy from the Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT), MOEA through the CITD Industrial Technology Program for the project: "Development of a Reverse-Sequence Demagnetization Controller for Permanent Electro-Magnetic Chucks."
  • Received support from the Smart Machinery Academia-Industry Collaboration Program sponsored by the Industrial Development Administration (IDA), MOEA.
  • Awarded new patents in Taiwan and China for the linear-type permanent electro-magnetic chuck and circuit system.
  • Awarded a China patent for the permanent electro-magnetic chuck with clamping-jaw positioning.
  • Awarded Taiwan and China patents for the zoned magnetic force control permanent electro-magnetic chuck.
  • Awarded a Taiwan patent for the automatic switch system of permanent magnetic workholding platforms.
  • In addition, we have implemented an APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling) digital lean pre-scheduling system integrated with a smart dashboard for visualized production data analysis. This allows plant managers to monitor raw material supply status through ERP, and dynamically assign work orders via MES. Whether handling rush or inserted orders, the system ensures full visibility of production line status, reduces inventory, and shortens lead times for customized products. This enables full control over capacity utilization and order fulfillment pressure, transforming our facility into a smart, lean, and fully integrated intelligent manufacturing factory.


2022

  • We have been awarded a grant under the "Digital Lean Management (TPS) Subsidy Program" by the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI).

    • The newly expanded Smart Magneto-Automated Factory integrates CNC intelligent precision machine tools with advanced magnetic tooling applications. The facility features the acquisition of a Japanese-made Mazak horizontal machining center with a 6-pallet changer, and the implementation of FANUC robotic arms to establish a fully automated production line.

    Custom-designed magnetic fixtures are mounted on the robotic arms, combined with a multi-zone collaborative magnetic clamping system, enabling seamless and flexible automation. This setup achieves 48-hour unmanned, lights-out production, realizing measurable benefits in smart automation and the digital transformation of magneto-integrated manufacturing.

    A. Intelligent automation accelerates production and boosts process efficiency by 2.5 times, expanding product market share in the global red ocean market.                                                                                      B. Strengthens the company's internal R&D capabilities in automation, enabling the development of more innovative, high-value solutions and enhancing competitiveness in the global blue ocean market.            C. Integrates machine tools with peripheral automation equipment to become the first professional demonstration factory in Taiwan—and potentially worldwide—specializing in magnetic tooling applications.
