As the new era of industry 4.0 dawns upon us, the trend of smart living has already become unstoppable. CTCI has brought together all its subsidiaries to establish the Group Intelligence Solutions Business (GISB). Since its establishment, GISB has been actively helping clients develop automation and become information-based; presently it aims to assist clients in achieving digital transformation and foresees a path to a brand new future by providing smart services, building smart factories, and constructing smart cities.

In this issue's Outlook, CTCI GISB CEO Hwei-Nan Yih mentioned first that the most important goal in going smart is to have the ability to predict and optimize. Knowing your data is critical. CTCI laid its foundation in cultivating professional engineering capabilities, developing core intelligence technologies, and amassing abundant experiences overseas and domestically, and thus has already gained an absolute advantage in welcoming the next wave of the smart trend.

This issue's Technology gives a detailed explanation on how to find new business models and promote operation performance for global clients through analyzing digital tracks (data) left by clients, factories and corporations, so that all can advance together into the smart age, creating leverage in which corporations, factories, consumers and the environment can all benefit from win-win situations.

A corporation must, at the same time, protect the environment externally and continue to enhance quality management performance internally to strengthen its competitive edge, exceed benchmarks, and pursue sustainable management. This issue's Discover Reliable shares with readers the construction experience of a photovoltaic power plant in New Jersey, which was CTCI’s first attempt to invest and develop in the US. The article gives an in-depth description on how the CTCI team managed to overcome levels of natural and human obstacles and successfully helped improve the issue of global warming.

In addition, when it comes to internal quality management, CTCI has always surpassed expectations and served as a role model for other businesses in the industry. As ISO9001:2015, the latest version of the international standard on quality management, has been launched, Sustainable Future introduces the specific actions CTCI has made on quality management in its global operations to establish the most reliable base for  CTCI’s quality engineering services.

CTCI sees the world as one family, which is why in this issue’s CTCI Family, we have invited Yazdan Nazaripoor, a colleague from Iran who joined us at CTCI Taipei headquarters two years ago. He not only has a master's degree in electrical engineering, but also 11 years of experience in instrument and control within the hydrocarbon field, and he is invited to share with us his thoughts on living and working in Taiwan. Let’s have a look!
