HSINCHU, Taiwan –According to Gartner, a leading research and advisory company, the participation rate for labor forces around the world will drop by 20% because of COVID-19. Gartner shows that “survival of the fittest” is an omen for labor-intensive industries. However, although global supply chains have been impacted by the coronavirus, the incorporation of an ‘epidemic new life movement’ has accelerated in the manufacturing industry.
ICP DAS has launched a series of IIoT products in response to the expected changes in the post-pandemic era, including the ACS series of modules and access control devices, which can help reduce the risk of exposure to pathogens and allow our users to avoid contact with buttons or devices while passing through locations such as security doors. Also, our iKAN series of LED message display devices can be integrated with DL series modules to display the monitored data for temperature and humidity at the entrance of a building or at workplace. Air conditioners or ventilation systems can be activated using default parameters in order to improve indoor air quality. Thanks to the M2M technology related to data acquisition and edge computation, personnel in a central control room will have more time to deal with any issues based on the data acquired from our reliable field sensors presented on the SCADA system.
The COVID-19 crisis has also placed greater demands on biomedical technology, materials, and epidemic prevention technology. Consequently, ICP DAS has invested significantly in the biomedical materials market and has developed and produced high-quality medical TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) raw materials that will inject new energy into the production and manufacturing of medical products in the world.
