Advanced industrial automation solutions certainly caught the eye of fairgoers who watched attentively as exhibitors carried out product demonstrations. From vacuum suction lifting devices to a dizzying array of rapid robotic arms, the applications from Halls 2.1 to 5.1 were high tech and professional. A real buzz in the atmosphere was also felt in Hall 1.1 as a wide array of both mould making solutions and additive manufacturing technologies from domestic Chinese brands as well as international powerhouses showcased the latest capabilities of this exciting developing technology.
Broad concurrent event programmes present unique insights into future developments within the industries
Concurrent event programmes were organised in addition to the exhibits. A total of 80 talks were delivered by some of the leading industry players and academics from China and around the world. Standout seminars this year included the Automobile Lightweight Product and Technology Summit which made its debut at Asiamold, while the Global Review on Industrial Digitised Transformation seminar was well attended by visitors to SPS – Industrial Automation Fair Guangzhou. The Japan Electrical Manufacturers’ Association presented a very interesting talk on manufacturing innovations with IoT that resonated well with attendees.
