數位轉型對台灣紡織公司之影響： 以宏遠興業工業4.0智慧工廠為例

Abstract

本論文透過宏遠興業股份有限公司（Everest Textile Co., Ltd.）的個案研究，探討數位轉型對台灣紡織產業的影響。由於勞動力短缺及全球競爭日益激烈，台灣的紡織產業正借助工業4.0的浪潮進行現代化改革。宏遠興業作為智慧工廠發展的先驅，導入了物聯網（IoT）、自動化、雲端運算與資料分析等數位技術，以提升生產效率、改善品質控管，並促進永續發展。 本研究採用 acatech 工業4.0成熟度指數（Industrie 4.0 Maturity Index）作為評估架構，涵蓋四大面向：資源、資訊系統、組織結構與文化。資料來自於與宏遠興業協理的半結構式訪談及現地觀察。研究發現顯示，宏遠在多數面向已達第四至第五級的成熟度，特別在感測器部署、分散式決策、系統整合、創新與持續學習的文化等方面展現高度成熟。 整體而言，本研究凸顯了宏遠在數位轉型上的計畫性與前瞻性，同時為台灣其他紡織業者提供可行的轉型建議。研究也針對提升數位領導力與文化、系統互聯與預測性資料分析等面向提出具體建議。本研究補充了學術與產業界對於傳統製造業如何透過數位轉型取得競爭優勢的討論。

This thesis explores the influence of digital transformation on Taiwan's textile industry through a case study of Everest Textile Co., Ltd. Due to labor shortages and increased global competition, Taiwan's textile industry is drawing on the Industry 4.0 revolution to modernize its operations. Everest Textile is a pioneer of smart factory development, employing digital technologies, including the internet of things (IoT), automation, cloud computing, and data analytics, to assist in achieving production efficiencies, improve quality controls, and promote sustainability. By using the acatech Industrie 4.0 Maturity Index framework to assess Everest's maturity, four domains are included; resource, information systems, organizational structure, and culture. The research collected data from a semi-structured interview with Everest Assistant Vice President and onsite observations during the data collection. The findings indicate Everest operates at maturity levels four to five in most domains. Everest demonstrated strong maturity regarding sensor deployments, decentralized decision making, systems integration, and a culture of innovation and continuous learning. Overall, this research serves to highlight Everest's planned and thoughtful approach to digital transformation while providing actionable insights for other textile manufacturers in Taiwan. Additionally, the research provides recommendations for increasing digital leadership and cultural aspects, interconnecting systems, and predictive data analytics. The study adds to the academic and industry conversation about leveraging digital transformation to obtain a competitive advantage in more traditional manufacturing sectors.
