"Industry 4.0" has become the most popular topic of industrial upgrading in Taiwan and Mainland China in recent years. Toyoda automation, which has been working in Taiwan's automation market for about 20 years, has been playing an important role in the evolution of Taiwan's automation industry. Toyoda, formerly known as easy control automation, was the agent of Yamaha industrial robot in Japan in the early days, The two sides have cooperated for a long time to cultivate the Taiwan market and provide excellent automation innovation solutions for the industry.

In 2008, Toyo established its own brand, specializing in the development of key automation systems such as single axis manipulators, electric cylinders and table robots, to strengthen the vacancy of Taiwan brand in the robot market. In product development, Toyo has provided products that meet the demand in response to market changes, and has also established solid manufacturing technology of Toyo Taiwan brand. Its products have been sold from Greater China, Gradually expanded to all parts of the overseas.

According to the statistics of Fuji economy in Japan, the sales scale of dongyouda's single axis robot (aluminum extrusion body) is already the second largest in Asia in China. With complementary product lines, Yamaha, a Japanese locomotive manufacturer, recently announced that it will invest 1 billion Japanese dollars to participate in Toyoda automation (Toyo), a Taiwan robot manufacturer, and officially open the cooperation of capital and products between the two sides.

Yamada Shengji pointed out that Yamaha is mainly a manufacturer of locomotives. His robot Department originally produced the robots needed for locomotive production line. In 1984, Yamaha began to sell robot arms. In 2000, Yamaha signed a contract with dongyouda subsidiary. Yamaha's robot and robot arm product line is complete. In the trend of automation, although there is a need for price competition, it will never compromise on quality, Based on the requirement of high quality and price competitiveness, we conducted a global evaluation and found that dongyouda met the requirements of price competitiveness and quality requirements before establishing a partnership. We visited dongyouda factory in person and confirmed that the product quality met Yamaha requirements. We hope that the bilateral cooperation can achieve benefits.

Lin Zongde said that he and Lin Zhengfu, the general manager of the mainland region, set up easy control in 2000 to sell Yamaha industrial robots. In 2008, he set up a subsidiary, dongyouda automation technology, and launched its own brand "Toyo" robots. Easy control and dongyouda merged on New Year's day in 2018. Although easy control was the surviving company, it was renamed dongyouda. Dongyouda's own brand accounted for 80% of its revenue, Acting for Yamaha of Japan, Denso of Toyota Motor Group and Kawasaki heavy industries. Acting for Daming robot of Guangda group two years ago, acting for four brands of robots, accounting for 20% of revenue, indirectly entering Apple's supply chain. The paid in capital of dongyouda was NT $200 million before the capital increase and NT $220 million after the capital increase. For two consecutive years, EPS exceeded NT $5. Dongyouda is tentatively scheduled for public offering around 2021.

Yamaha plans to use the single axis robot system of Toyoda as the next generation of new products and sell them to customers all over the world. This cooperation is the first time Yamaha robot Department has made strategic investment in overseas enterprises outside Japan, which shows Yamaha's affirmation of Toyoda automation (Toyo) products.
