Abstract

The globalization of Taiwan's corporate industries is subject to competition and threats at two critical levels. Taiwan's factories could use Industry 4.0 to enhance their competitiveness. This listing Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturing factory Hsinchu A, B conducts industrial maturity assessment analysis of automation equipment. This study shows that the existing equipment automation in Factory A is 1.20, the ideal is 2.74, the average is 1.65, and the proportion of artificial is 80%, which is much higher than the industry average of 42%. The actual value of equipment automation in Factory B is 2.96, and the ideal is 2.76. The standard is 1.67, fully automatic, accounted for 100%, much higher than the industry average of 15%. The automation of the equipment evaluation project shows the average value of the leading industry self-evaluation. Finally, although this equipment's operation has been relatively smooth, we must pay attention to the industry's future trends and promptly improve it.
