The 139th Canton Fair is in full swing. The industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing exhibition area has completely bid farewell to traditional static booths and transformed into a real-life intelligent workshop, becoming the focus of global merchants.
From robotic arm collaborative operation to digital twin real-time scheduling, from AI precision quality inspection to efficient unmanned warehousing and efficient circulation, this Canton Fair is full of “new content”, showing the world the strong momentum of China’s intelligent manufacturing to move towards innovation, intelligence and green.
Walking into the exhibition area is like stepping into the factory of the future.
Industrial robots, CNC machine tools, intelligent logistics equipment, and automated production lines are linked in an orderly manner, and the entire process of loading, processing, testing, and sorting can be completed without manual intervention.
Many companies have introduced flexible manufacturing units that can quickly switch production specifications to meet the needs of overseas orders in small batches and multiple categories.
Humanoid robots demonstrated flexible operation and visual interaction on site, laser equipment achieved hair-level precision processing, and 3D printing and smart warehousing were seamlessly connected, making technology no longer just a concept but a practical and replicable production solution.
This year’s Canton Fair focuses on new productivity. High-tech enterprises, specialized “little giants”, and individual champions in the manufacturing industry will appear together. More than 60% of enterprises apply new technologies such as industrial Internet and artificial intelligence.
Large digital screens can be seen everywhere in the exhibition area, showing equipment operation, energy consumption data, and production efficiency in real time. The industrial Internet of Things and big data make the production process transparent and controllable.
Many exhibitors said that intelligent equipment not only improves efficiency by more than 30%, but also reduces labor costs and defective rates, meeting the urgent needs of overseas customers for efficient, low-carbon, and flexible production.
Compared with previous editions, this year’s automation exhibition area emphasizes scenario-based and solution-based.
The company no longer only displays equipment, but launches intelligent transformation plans for the entire factory, covering multiple fields such as auto parts, hardware and electronics, and new energy.
There was an endless stream of buyers from Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, and many of them negotiated cooperation and finalized intended orders on site.
The deep integration of smart equipment, digital technology and green manufacturing not only meets the needs of global industrial upgrading, but also opens up a new high-value-added track for China’s foreign trade.
The Canton Fair has always been a benchmark for Made in China.
The transformation of the industrial automation exhibition area into a “smart workshop” is the epitome of the transformation of China’s manufacturing industry from scale to high quality.
From simple foundry to technology export, from hardware export to overseas solutions, China’s intelligent manufacturing is moving towards the world in a more intelligent, innovative and competitive manner.
With the continued penetration of AI, 5G, and the Industrial Internet, smart manufacturing is no longer an optional upgrade, but a must-answer question.
This session of the Canton Fair proved with real-life displays that Chinese companies have the ability to provide world-class smart factory solutions.
In the future, as more new technologies and new scenarios are implemented, Made in China will continue to improve its status in the global value chain and win a larger international market with a higher “new content”.
