From the Editor

With the arrival of year 2018, our Brand News Bi-Monthly will be seven years old. We are glad to receive a record number of responses to our annual questionnaire at the end of last year, and they are filled with valuable suggestions from more than 7,000 of our co-workers all over the world. We will stick to our original aims, and introduce Delta from various perspectives to the readers.

In the just-ended CommonWealth Economic Forum which I attended, I tried to deconstruct the city into the elements of building, transportation and people, sharing Delta’s practical experiences and constructive ideas of sustainable cities. Building and transportation are the two major aspects of global carbon reduction. Be it electric cars running on the road, or automated air-conditioning and lighting system of office buildings, Delta will persist in its mission of providing innovative, clean and energy-efficient solutions for a better tomorrow, and offer constant and crucial support with its innovative technologies.

In line with Delta’s organizational restructuring in 2017, Brand News Bi-Monthly also made some adjustments in content and columns for the new year, so as to give everyone a rich and good reading experience. We have resumed the column “Brand People”, and will be interviewing newly appointed business unit heads to share their current development and future plans. In this issue, we have a special interview with the general manager of BABG, Mr. Bill Lo, where he shares with us the strategies for building automation, and what he has learnt from his past work experience. In the column “About DSM”, we are delighted to have the first-hand information from the SMSBD director, Mr. Lear Li, who gives us insights into Delta’s smart manufacturing and plans for entering the market. We also have fresh news about QD23, the 23th Quality Diagnostic Activities held in late December last year at Dongguan and Wujiang plants.

The “Special Report” in this issue presents Delta’s successful application of solar inverters in a shopping center in Germany. During the roof remodeling, stable and reliable power supply was ensured, and the solar energy generated helps to recover the huge reconstruction investment cost of the project with the benefits gained from power acquisition by the government. In the future, solar power stations will continue to provide clean energy for city grids and reduce carbon emissions. This is a brilliant article not to be missed.

“Brand Circle” column continues to present successful cases and important events from around the world. Delta’s UPS system enables Australia’s Adelaide Airport to increase electrical load, and IA, for the first time, incorporates the concept of automation into the glutinous rice ball machine, bringing great benefits to clients. Delta Controls, LOYTEC and VIVOTEK keep working together, making a name for Delta in exhibitions such as Japan Smart Building EXPO, AHR, etc. Delta’s video facilities, not only helps the Dongyue Group to build a fluorine silicon industrial park worth hundred billion dollars in Shandong, but also assists Weiwuying, the National Kaohsiung Center for the Arts, to create the largest light sculpture show in Asia. And there are more exciting contents worth your time to read in this issue.

Beginning this year, in order to bring Brand News Bi-Monthly closer to everyone, “Delta Green Life” column is open for employees to post articles. We welcome any sharing of low-carbon life experiences from you.
