Seeing a real automated production line up close can make an industry feel very different from what people imagine. ​ At SHL Medical’s Taiwan site, students from electronics and information technology classes at Wu-Ling Senior High School stepped beyond the classroom to get a closer look at the technologies, engineering, and production environments behind medical device manufacturing. ​ Our colleagues Nathan Chiu from the Quality Engineering team and Christoph Schindler from SHL Advantec shared insights into medical device manufacturing and how automated production lines are planned and built, including how software and hardware are brought together in real production environments. ​ Many students were especially curious about the automation technologies used in large-scale production. Touring our production lines also helped bring those conversations to life by giving students the chance to see these technologies operating firsthand. ​ For SHL Medical, experiences like these are an opportunity to help future talent better understand the industry and discover new possibilities for where engineering can be applied in healthcare.
