Cloud Intelligent System

Research Center

Introduction
Cloud Computing technologies are changing the way business deploys IT systems and services, thus bringing
disruptive innovation to various industries. Combined with advent Internet-of-Things (IoT), Big Data and Artificial
Intelligence technologies, Cloud Computing especially stimulates conventional manufacturing industry to convert to
smart manufacturing that focuses on services and human/machine interactions. The aforementioned trend of smart
manufacturing technology development, generally referred to as “Industry 4.0”, has significant or even revolutionary
impacts on Taiwan’s manufacturing industry as it is undergoing a long-tern decline due to global competitiveness,
rapidly aging population, increasingly reduced product lifecycle, and the need for industrial upgrading. The only way
for local manufacturers in Taiwan to survive and keep up with today’s ever-changing environment is to adopt the most
advent and suitable IT and smart manufacturing technologies to their production process. To address the need of local
manufacturers and companies, our research center integrates newest technologies developed by NKUST professors
with expertise in Machine Vision, Cloud Computing, Smart Manufacturing, and Smart Network, and consolidates
these technologies into a variety of cloud-based artificial-intelligence systems and IT solutions.

Goals
1. Develop IT technologies and solutions in the areas of cloud computing, artificial intelligence and information
security.
2. Work with industries to solve their technical problems in an innovative way.
3. Cultivate IT professionals with both theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills in system implementation.
4. Offer IT consulting services and training programs for local industries and small business owners.

Research Areas
1. Our faculty members have professional expertise and many years of practical experience across multiple
disciplines, including Automated Optical Inspection, Machine Vision, Smart Network, Cloud Computing,
Manufacturing Processes, and Information Security.
2. Our center promotes possible interactions between our members as well as technology consolidation of faculty
members with different expertise.
3. We emphasize the integration of theory and practice by establishing a long-term relationship with local
manufacturers and companies.
4.We highly value the cultivation of professional skills. We regularly open training programs for student members of
our center as well as for professionals of local companies.
