The industrial sector generates vast amounts of unstructured data, much of which still requires manual handling, said Cheng Yafei, Founder and Chairman of Modebao Technology.
For small and medium-sized enterprises, this workload can be burdensome, creating a need for low-cost, self-training minimalist workstations—ranging from robotic arms to digital machine tools—to take over these tasks, he added.
Cheng made the remarks at a closed-door forum on embodied intelligence and industrial chain innovation during the 2025 T-EDGE on Tuesday.
