數位轉型輔導

The core challenges faced by digital transformation in Taiwan's manufacturing industry include: OT/IT integration cybersecurity risks (expanded attack surface after factory equipment is networked), legacy system integration (difficulty connecting old ERP/MES with new systems), business interruption risks after digitalization, digital skill gaps in talent, and personal data protection law compliance requirements. Jishui Research integrates these five aspects to provide comprehensive digital transformation risk management.

Digital transformation focuses on digitizing traditional business processes (paper to electronic, manual to automation) and establishing digital infrastructure (ERP, MES, IoT). AI transformation, built upon a digitized foundation, further introduces AI technologies to enhance the intelligence of decision-making (predictive maintenance, AI quality inspection, sales forecasting). The two are progressive; most enterprises need to complete their digital transformation infrastructure before effectively undertaking AI transformation.

Specific requirements for digital transformation in semiconductor test interface manufacturers include: real-time collection and analysis of test data (for yield improvement), version control and traceability of test procedures, secure management of customer test specifications (involving customer NDAs), and network security protection for production line equipment (OT). Jishui Research assists enterprises in achieving secure and controllable digital upgrades with practical consulting experience.

Depending on the enterprise's digital maturity and the scope of transformation, the consulting period typically ranges from 7 to 12 months or more. Jishui Research offers a free initial diagnostic assessment to evaluate the enterprise's current situation and formulate a precise transformation roadmap and timeline.

Digitalization indeed expands the attack surface, but risks are manageable. The key is to simultaneously carry out digitalization and cybersecurity strengthening, rather than digitalizing first and then remediating. Jishui Research adopts the "Security by Design" principle, establishing corresponding cybersecurity protection mechanisms at each stage of digital transformation.

Digital transformation is not a one-time project but a continuous capability building process. The key to maintaining digital competitive advantage is: establishing quantifiable digital KPIs, continuously collecting and analyzing business data, regularly evaluating opportunities for new technology applications, and fostering a culture of digital skill learning. Jishui Research assists enterprises in building self-sustaining digital optimization capabilities.

Jishui Research has successfully assisted a Taiwanese semiconductor test interface manufacturer in completing the digital upgrade of its production processes, integrating MES and ERP systems, and simultaneously establishing OT cybersecurity protection mechanisms and a Business Continuity Plan (BCP). This ensured that the digitized production system is secure and controllable, and obtained customer cybersecurity audit approval.
