Tang Chi Lin has spent the past 15 years promoting process automation and digital transformation of manufacturing, known as “Industry 4.0”. This enables autonomous robots to control operations too dangerous to be executed by humans or help develop “digital twin” services that accurately simulate product function before actual manufacturing.

At TÜV NORD, the global test, inspection, and certification service provider, Tang provides integrity testing of source data and verification of data models. Using statistical methods known as regression, this builds reliable predictive and prescriptive models, forming the basis for functionally safe digital products and services.
