At the same time, there is also energy saving, using full-servo. Machines can save up to 50 times, and everyone can count them."
"Using automation equipment is a trend." Lin Qiaozhong said that the mainland government now emphasizes that it is necessary to upgrade automation to replace labor and introduce many policies; the increasing demand for high-end equipment from mainland shoe enterprises will also attract more and more Taiwanese companies.
