There were so many unpredictable fluctuations on the global industry, ITRI’s Industrial Economics & Knowledge Center (IEK) consistently conducted a study to establish knowledge-related industries, and analysed the influence of the machinery industry development trend on Taiwan Machinery-related companies. Therefore we compiled the 2014 Machinery Industry Yearbook. This yearbook will be concentrated in the field of machine tools, high-tech equipment, intelligent robotics, automatic and mechanical key components and make a further discussion and analysis. Related experts have been invited to pen articles and provide their various observations. This publication will be essential for Taiwan Machinery-related companies in facing the challenges that manufacturing servalization and advanced manufacturing issue. It will also provide reference on innovative thinking and point out the way forward.
