Romania, Malaysia, CTCI Wins Dual Gold at Global Invention Fairs for Industry-Academia Collaboration, Elevating Taiwan’s Engineering Prowess
Romania, Malaysia, June 13, 2025 – CTCI, Taiwan’s leading engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services provider, was recently honored with top awards at two major global invention fairs for its intelligent innovations developed through industry-academia collaboration. One of the inventions, the Intelligent Pipeline Flange Bolt Fastening Module System, received a Gold Medal and the Prize of Canada at EUROINVENT in Romania (European Exhibition of Creativity and Innovation). The other invention, the Large Pipeline Cleaning Robot, earned a Gold Medal at ITEX Malaysia (International Invention, Innovation & Technology Exhibition). These accolades reflect CTCI’s commitment to developing AI-driven engineering technologies that promote industry transformation and have garnered global recognition.
Jointly developed by CTCI and Professor Fa-Shian Chang’s team at Cheng Shiu University, both inventions have obtained patents in Taiwan. By combining Internet of Things (IoT), construction automation, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, these solutions precisely address two of the most error-prone and high-risk stages in traditional pipeline construction, significantly enhancing efficiency, quality, and safety.
The Intelligent Pipeline Flange Bolt Fastening Module System enables real-time monitoring of bolt fastening conditions and helps prevent leakage at pipeline joints caused by manual inaccuracies. Furthermore, the system utilizes AI algorithms to analyze real-time monitoring data, predict potential leakage risks, and automatically adjust fastening parameters for optimal results. This AI-driven approach enhances preventative maintenance by learning and establishing optimal fastening strategies based on data from different pipeline materials and environmental conditions." The Large Pipeline Cleaning Robot performs pipeline inspection, cleaning, and residue suction, effectively resolving issues caused by manual cleaning, such as metal abrasion and valve leakage. Data is transmitted in real time to ensure accuracy and reliability. In addition, the robot employs AI-powered image recognition to identify defects such as rust and cracks within the pipeline, generating a defect distribution map for engineers. AI algorithms also enable the robot to autonomously plan the optimal cleaning path, automatically adjust cleaning modes based on the level of contamination, and analyze data to optimize cleaning parameters and predict the remaining lifespan of the pipeline. In addition to its recent international recognition, the pipeline cleaning robot has also received the Platinum Award at the Taiwan Innotech Expo for three consecutive years and the Industry-Academia Collaboration Award from the Chinese Institute of Engineers.
Recognizing the high application value and commercialization potential of these technologies, CTCI continues to expand the integration of AI and other emerging technologies across petrochemical, power, and transportation construction projects to provide clients with smarter, more efficient, and safer engineering solutions. The company is also actively strengthening collaborations with leading academic institutions to explore the engineering applications of AI, IoT, advanced materials, and innovative construction methods, continuously injecting innovation into Taiwan’s engineering industry to support sustainable development and global competitiveness.
