Moxa Partners to Drive Carbon Pricing Readiness

Companies Face Carbon Pricing Challenges

With the implementation of the U.S. Clean Competition Act (CCA), carbon fee collection in Taiwan, and EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), industries in Taiwan are facing unprecedented carbon management challenges. As an integral part of the global supply chain, Taiwan's manufacturing sector has to respond to increasingly stringent and uncertain regulatory carbon emission requirements, resulting in a rapid rise in "carbon" anxiety among companies. Furthermore, Taiwan's electronics components manufacturing sector also faces urgent requirement from international brand customers to provide supply chain carbon inventory data and undertake carbon management.

Amidst this wave of international regulations and requirements from international brand customers, Moxa observes that many companies will face many challenges ahead, including not knowing how to initiate carbon inventory, how to provide data, and how to retain supporting data in response to carbon inventory. Moxa is committed to assisting Taiwanese industries and supply chains in facing the challenges of net-zero emissions. We work with counterparts in the ecosystem to provide comprehensive software and hardware integration solutions, ensuring that industry customers can overcome the initiation threshold of carbon inventory through the benefits brought forth by digital transition, and achieve the goal of green transition.

Moxa Empowers Enterprises in Green Transition

With the development of smart factory, production plants are adopting more equipment, sensors, and systems to enhance automation and smart production. This also increases the complexity of carbon inventory and statistical errors. Moxa collaborated with counterparts in the ecosystem, YIMA INFORMATION and InfoChamp Systems, to provide comprehensive software and hardware integration solutions. Through building digital transition infrastructure (e.g., Internet of Things applications), we assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in undertaking digitization and carbon inventory. The solution can automatically capture and record data for each phase of production through stable and reliable edge connections and computing equipment. As a result, carbon emissions of production orders can be clearly displayed, thereby reducing the complexity and human error of traditional operations. In addition, the solution can also help customers accurately and continuously monitor various energy consumption and emission data, and digitally archive monitoring results and supporting data, making it easy to organize and provide information to verification institutions or overseas customers for review. At the same time, it provides a solid and accurate application basis for the industry in response to various carbon inventory regulations and energy management needs.
