From 19 to 22 August 2025, the Center of Excellence on Smart Manufacturing, hosted by the China Productivity Center (CPC) of the Republic of China (ROC), held the Study Mission on Advanced Industrial Technologies for Digital, Low-carbon Transformation in Taichung, ROC. The delegation from Turkiye comprised five participants from the Ministry of Industry and Technology and four lean and digital transformation centers (model factories) in Istanbul, Ankara, Adana, and Samsun. During the program, participants observed best practices and exchanged knowledge with local experts through visits to the CPC Smart Manufacturing Experience Demo Site; Zhan Yi Co., Ltd.; the Automation Taipei exhibition; Victor Taichung Machinery Works Co., Ltd.; Da Shiang (DS) Technology Co., Ltd.; and Taiwan Hon Chuan Enterprise Co., Ltd.

The mission enhanced participants’ understanding of smart manufacturing, automation, and low-carbon technologies and fostered direct engagement with enterprises in the ROC, creating avenues for future collaboration and knowledge transfer. Through the program, participants identified the potential for Turkiye’s model factories to replicate the CPC’s smart production demo line and adopt IoT software and digital assessment tools through demonstration and training programs. This will support the country’s ongoing efforts in digital and sustainable industrial transformation.
