The Company’s intelligent operating system drives manufacturing excellence. Intelligent manufacturing technologies are widely applied to lean manufacturing, employee productivity, equipment productivity, process and equipment control, quality defense, and robotic control to optimize quality, productivity, efficiency, flexibility, and accelerated innovation. TSMC has also integrated new applications such as intelligent mobile devices, IoT, edge computing, and mobile robot, with automated material handling systems (AMHS), which was successfully expanded to serve and connect multiple mega fabs, bringing higher efficiency and stability to the production process, significantly enhancing overall capacity. Furthermore, TSMC actively collaborated with global supply chain partners to ensure that production standards and service quality met global consistency and further utilizes advanced artificial intelligence algorithms to optimize the learning curve of cutting-edge process technologies. This accelerates innovation in process control techniques, achieving convergence of variations to atomic-level precision, thereby further solidifying and expanding TSMC’s competitive edge over competitors.
