Primax Outlines Smart Makeover Strategy at Technology Expo

During a technical exhibition at the National Taiwan University Sports Center today, Primax leveraged 35 years of core technical expertise to showcase the four pillars of future technological makeovers: sound (acoustics), light (optics/vision), media (human-machine interface) and smart production. The four themed exhibition areas showed what re-engineering of technology will hold in the future as well as the inroads made by Primax in each field.

The first theme of acoustics products showed off the smart speakers and smart headphones that have significantly changed user habits in recent years. These products from Tymphany, a part of the Primax Group, included the full range of product designs from home to outdoors and even professional theater-grade products. The second theme of vision featured miniature camera modules used extensively in everyday life. These capture and re-combine images in different ways including ultra-wide-angle, 360-degree panorama, multi-camera combinations and structured light 3D sensing technology. Technology derived from optics not only allow the preservation of real-world imagery but can also be integrated with software/hardware recognition functions to provide“vision.”

The third theme was human-machine interface. The increasing popularity of smartphones and mobile devices have seen the PC keyboard and mouse familiar to most people gradually replaced by other new interfaces. For high-end business users and extreme e-sports gamers however, a high-level of customization and emphasis on user experience highlighted the Primax difference. All the future interface trends presented at the expo such as touch control, gestures, voice, haptics and even the latest smart interactive light sources not only amazed with their design but were also connected to the two preceding topics of“Sound”and“Light.”The fourth theme returned to basic production capability. Though Primax is known in the industry for its automation and precision production processes, the emphasis this time was Industry 4.0 developments and the framework for future smart production processes. In addition to usual robots, robotic arms as well as the use of big data and AI, Primax placed its emphasis on the modular design of production lines, the ability to tailor robots and robotic arms to specific requirements, as well as a variety of smart equipment with integrated vision that it developed in-house.

Primax demonstrated its strategy of cross-industry integration through the different technical scenarios and experiences on display. Long-term investment in both software and hardware engineering meant that Primax is now a strategic supplier capable of providing complete system integration solutions rather than just a hardware manufacturer. In the future, smart production processes will form the basis for the integration of acoustics, vision and interface applications in preparation of the re-engineering of technology in the IoT age.
