Under the theme "Dual Axis Intelligent Manufacturing and Sustainable Future," TMTS 2024 pioneers an eco-system-based exhibition space, aligning with dual axes of digital and green transformation. It aims to showcase diverse industrial applications through various exhibition themes.

The exhibition highlights five key elements of digital transformation: Smart Manufacturing, Data Analytics and Cloud Computing, AIoT, Digital Twin/Human-Machine Collaboration, and Blockchain Technology. Similarly, it focuses on five elements of green transformation: Smart Energy Conservation, Environmental Certification, Resource Recycling and Reuse, Green Supply Chain, and Sustainable Product Design. These elements underscore Taiwan's commitment to technological innovation and industry advancement.

This year's event boasts an unprecedented scale, featuring renowned domestic manufacturers and the active participation of 17 guilds and public associations.

This zone showcases over 50 machines simultaneously, illustrating innovative experiences and fostering cross-field intelligent ecosystems.

To address the green economy trend, TMBA launches TMTS 2024, promoting research and development in energy-saving equipment or components through the "Energy Saving Label for the Machine Tool Industry" evaluation. Notable achievements in green transformation will be exhibited at TMTS 2024.

The exhibition also hosts a series of forums with domestic and international industry experts, discussing topics like digital and green transformation, talent sustainability, and industry-academia collaboration.

The success of TMTS underscores Taiwan's prowess in technological innovation and cross-domain integrated ecosystem development. Looking forward, Taiwan's machine tool industry is poised to ascend further on the path of sustainable development, making significant contributions to the global machine tool industry.
