With the advancement of time and technology, new techniques and ideas such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0 and circular economy have not only changed our lives but also revolutionized the way we work. The influence can be found in all industries and areas around the globe. Facing this change and challenge, Michael Yang, Group Vice Chairman of CTCI, has stated in Outlook that CTCI will take a more proactive approach to enhance professional capabilities, broaden views, turn challenges into opportunities and continue to make a name for itself in the international construction market. In addition, CTCI is aiming to become the most reliable global engineering services provider and leading CTCI Group to the new era of smart engineering from the following four dimensions: service integration, innovation elevation, sustainable development and key talent incubation.
	
Profited by AI, our lives have become smart and convenient. CTCI Advanced Systems Inc. (CTCI ASI), specialized in intelligent construction, uses baggage system improvement project for Taoyuan International Airport as an example to share with readers how it sets up the smart baggage sorting system, renovates computer system and relevant interface equipment, and upgrades software to process and analyze the data it has collected. This has greatly enhanced baggage processing efficiency at the airport while reduced the error occurrence rate during the process of baggage delivery and kept good track of the delivery process so that the baggage can be delivered to passengers. With the customer satisfaction been improved, Taoyuan International Airport has become a role model in terms of smart airport technology. For more information, please read the column of Discover Reliable.

The industry needs ongoing upgrade to gain competitiveness, including smart equipment and smart manufacturing. Aiming at becoming an innovative accelerator in sustainable industry, CTCI ASI has been devoted to the introduction of and development of various green technologies. Through the Sustainable Future column, CTCI ASI explained how they applied and introduced Energy Saving and Emission Reducing and HSE Risk Management Reinforcing to assist industries like petrochemical, electronics, MRT and aviation to upgrade their intelligent equipment and productions. The sustainable environment and business can be achieved by replacing traditional and low-efficient factories with intelligent factories, using creative industrial manufacturing model, lifting business competitiveness and lowering the impact to the environment.

Intelligent technology has been applied extensively. Besides assisting Taoyuan Airport with the baggage handling system and numerous upgrades of domestic traditional industries, it can also be applied in traditional construction site. In this edition's Technology, through three research issues, we brought to you how an intelligent sensor technology after combining the information transmission of IoT that developed by CTCI and National Chiao Tung University, can be applied to material warehouse management and construction in confined space. This can make the execution of construction safer and more efficient.

CTCI believes that we are one world and one family, in this edition’s CTCI Family, Chieh Chuang, an expatriate from Civil & Building Engineering Dept. in Qatar, shares his work and life of working overseas, especially the camel contest that roots in the Arabian culture.
