The spread of novel coronavirus across the world has impacted industries and is testing the resiliency of companies. Delta set up Global Covid-19 Response Command Center at the very first moment and has established various measures to cope with the crisis. We strengthen employees’ protection in the company, proactively adapt to the business needs at frontlines, and organize manpower to prepare for the resumption of work. In terms of technologies, we help the fight against the virus by providing production efficiency for mask making machines and medical imaging equipment through our industrial automation solution and uninterrupted power system. Also, through online education platform, we transform offline interaction to online communication, so as not to interrupt work and learning. More detailed content awaits you in this issue’s Special Report.

The linking of IoT applications has driven the establishment and development of smart cities in the world, and the infrastructure of cities—street lighting system—has become important nodes for gathering big data in the urban environment. Delta started developing Connected LED Street Lighting Solutions in 2010, and has installed more than 600,000 LED street lights worldwide. In this issue’s IoT Smart Solutions, we will be introducing Taichung Central Park, a project by Delta’s Building Automation team winning Cloud Computing & IoT Innovation Award. Furthermore, the integration of smart urban management platforms makes it possible to realize the goal of a smart city and creates a more human-centric urban living space.

Delta continues to target the two major trends, namely smart manufacturing and building automation. In this issue’s Brand Circle, we share with you cases of film cutter solutions and servo press, and how to increase production flexibility and efficiency through automation. In early 2020, Delta participated in the International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR 2020) held in Orlando, USA, showcasing our complete building automation and air-conditioning solutions, under the theme, “Smarter Buildings, Smarter Cities”. We integrated our subsidiaries’ specialized building technologies where visitors can experience various applications of smart buildings and cities through Delta’s building automation solutions.

To address the severe challenges of climate change, the World Economic Forum (WEF) published “The Global Risks Report 2020”. This issue’s Delta Green Life contains excerpts of the possible risks in the next decade listed by WEF, highlighting the surrounding environmental problems and our responsibilities. We also introduce a green building of Fab Green Village in Danshui, where you can experience the incorporation of green living into building, and the lifestyle of coexisting with natural environment.
