Entry Topic Requirement
The Contest is an automation design competition in smart and green manufacturing with the theme of "Seeking Low-carbon Manufacturing Talents". Responding to recent trends in industrial automation such as Made in China 2025 and carbon peaking and neutrality goals, participating teams are required to focus on one of the three tracks, which include "Energy-saving Machines", "Green Manufacturing", and "Green Living". With the chosen track, each team needs to develop an advanced solution as the entry, integrating Delta's industrial automation products and technologies for production process optimization, management efficiency, safety, reliability, and product quality enhancement, predictive diagnosis and maintenance, energy-saving, or environmental sustainability. Also appreciated would be to see innovative industrial technologies, approaches, applications, creative ideas for intelligence, networking, IIoT, and big data applied in the entry.
The control elements in the solution need to be Delta's, including but not limited to the PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), PACs (Programmable Automation Controllers) and AC Servo Drives and Motors (Servo Systems), AC Motor Drives (Inverters), HMIs (Human Machine Interfaces), SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) Systems, and Industrial Robots. For more details of Delta's industrial automation products, please visit https://www.deltaww.com/en-US/products/Industrial-Automation/ALL.
In addition, the participating teams need to consider practicality, applicability, automation development, and the trends of eco-friendly manufacturing to build entries that will achieve smart and green manufacturing.
a) Energy-saving Machines
As carbon peaking and neutrality have become urgent global missions, manufacturers are willing to reduce carbon emissions by enhancing innovation capabilities and integrating digitized industrial equipment. For the Energy-saving Machines track, the participating teams need to integrate Delta's automation products with the considerations of new technologies, processes, and applications in the industry for innovative practices. The entries are expected to merge with the concepts of energy saving, carbon-emission reduction, efficiency boost, and clean energy adoption to enhance efficiency, optimize processes, conserve energy, and transform user habits.
b) Green Manufacturing
The Green Manufacturing track is looking for integrated solutions for industrial internet and low-carbon manufacturing that leverage cutting-edge technologies, such as intelligence, networking, IIoT, and big data (collection and analysis) to achieve high-efficiency and energy-saving production. For example, the participating teams could apply high-efficiency and low energy-consumption products and technologies to accomplish eco-friendly manufacturing, save water and electricity, reduce and treat processing wastes or recycle and reuse energy. Alternatively, the teams could utilize clean energy in production to enhance efficiency.
c) Green Living
The Green Living track requires the entries to echo Delta's brand promise of "Smarter. Greener. Together." To meet the criteria, participating teams need to leverage their imagination and creativity to propose practical approaches that integrate green living and automation to contribute to a comfortable, convenient, harmonious, civilized, and green future lifestyle. For example, planting with solar lighting and bathing water; implementing green buildings with solar power, central ventilation systems, and automatic energy-efficiency control for air conditioners, recycling resources, developing solar-power vehicles or electric cars, producing pollution-free green products, advocating environmentally-friendly packaging, green purchasing, green transportation, and green living to shape an energy-saving, eco-friendly, sustainable, civilized, and healthy lifestyle.
