Current State and Trends of the Global ICT Industry
According to the 2017 “Measuring the Information Society Report” by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), for the first time over half of the world’s population uses the internet. By the end of 2019, internet users will account for 51.2% of the total global population. The three most important trends are:
  1. In developed countries, 80% have access to internet services, and the 50% population threshold is an important milestone in the popularization of the ICT industry.
  2. Mobile applications, such as ultra-high-quality images (8K) and 3D stereoscopic image display, are driving demand for broadband connection. By 2020 mobile data traffic is expected to be 1000 times that of 2010. 2019 is said to be the year of 5G, and the global 5G infrastructure has entered the testing phase, catering to the needs of the entertainment industry, mass IoT communications, and the manufacturing industry.
  3. The Internet of Things (IoT), big data analysis, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and block chain technologies will give rise to extensive innovation, fundamentally changing enterprises, the government, and society. This is expected to create a digital economy worth US$23 trillion by 2025.
Taiwan’s Strong ICT Industry Key to Success in the New 5G Era
2019 has been hailed as the year of 5G. The United States, European countries, Japan, and South Korea are all actively working to deploy 5G networks. The private research group Markets and Markets forecasts that the market scale will increase from US$700 million in 2020 to US$6.3 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 55.4%. Taiwan’s long experience in ICT development and its excellent hardware manufacturing capabilities gives the island a powerful advantage in 5G and IoT development.

Solvision draws on state-of-the-art deep learning technologies to solve common machine vision problems, such as detection of features, defects, and patterns. Programming code is unnecessary. This intuitive, human-like approach requires only the input of image samples and the machine will learn to recognize irregular patterns or features by itself, which remained a challenging task for traditional inspection systems. Solvision comes in two modes of learning:supervised and unsupervised. When in supervised mode, each defect type needs to be identified and trained. While in unsupervised mode, Solvison needs to be shown only the golden sample, and it will be able to identify the differences in inspected objects. ※ Advantages: 1.Five powerful functions in one software 2.Engineering knowledge not required to handle the software 3.Powerful toolsets simplify process and improve results 4.Easy integration with robots and PLCs 5.Ability to learn from defect-free sample only
