The Edison Awards, known as the "Innovation Oscars," announced winners globally, with Taiwan securing 1 gold, 1 silver, and 3 bronze awards, ranking second worldwide among over 400 entries.

The "Continuous Micro Component Heat Treatment System Equipment," which won the bronze award, was highlighted by Lin Qiufeng, CEO of Metal Center. As 3C products become increasingly lightweight and compact, precision and miniaturization of related components are crucial. The team integrated features such as automatic feeding, real-time monitoring, and real-time control of the main heating furnace, innovative oil tanks, and material receiving devices. This addresses the needs of high-complexity structures or components with a diameter below 2mm. The system reduces reliance on human experience, improves component quality, achieves a 100% overall material receiving rate, a 99% yield rate, significantly reduces lead time and costs. It has been adopted by international giants such as Tesla and BOSCH in their supply chains. Collaboration with companies like Sha Yang Ye and Xing Guang Industrial is ongoing, and there are future applications in medical machinery, robotic arms, electric vehicles, optoelectronic semiconductors, aerospace, etc., enhancing domestic manufacturing competitiveness.
