CORE DEFINITION

Utilizing Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) to digitize and intellectualize supply, manufacturing, and sales information in production, ultimately achieving fast, efficient, and personalized product supply.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Customized mass production. It breaks the mutual exclusivity of "scale" and "customization." In the future, factories will be able to produce personalized products at low cost, just like standard products (C2M), which is the ultimate form of manufacturing.

anchor

Anchor fast decisions

With Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and the Internet of Things as the core, all equipment, materials, and products in the factory are networked to achieve data collection, real-time analysis, and autonomous decision-making, shifting production from "batch standardization" to "mass personalization" (C2M).
