China has lately enhanced its COVID-19 control measures and lifted travel restrictions to further promote the country’s economic growth. In addition, the demand for face-to-face business interaction continues to rise. As the leading trade fair for intelligent automation solutions in South China, SIAF Guangzhou 2023 finds itself in the right place at the right time for welcoming a strong line up of exhibitors who are eager for meeting clients and partners in-person. As of today, numerous exhibitors have recently confirmed their participation, include Baumer, Binder, Bonfiglioli, Datalogic, Degson, FATEK, Hefa, Koyo, Magustek, Meijidenki, Shijie Intelligent and Supu, to name just a few.
Over the last few years, a variety of industries have undertaken a different kind of transformation to cope with the pandemic. Much of this evolution sees a deeper implementation of automation that minimises manual processes in the manufacturing chain. These advancements will be on display across the show floor at SIAF 2023. For example, exhibiting companies will bring a broad range of automation solutions, ranging from robotics, drives, sensors, machine vision, human machine interface (HMI) and embedded systems, connectivity and electrical technologies to the show floor.
Acting as a cornerstone of the automation industry in the Greater Bay Area, the show’s influence is not only limited to the South China region, but spills across to other cities and areas nearby. For example, the Hong Kong Innovation Demonstration Area will be debuted at the 2023 event. Supported by the Hong Kong SAR Government’s Trade and Industrial Organisation Support Fund and led by the Internet Professional Association of Hong Kong, the 120 sqm exhibiting area will converge around 20 Hong Kong companies who are specialised in big data, AI and IoT solutions. Through their participation, these firms seek to expand their business and explore the potential of the Greater Bay Area.
Concurrent activities to highlight key market trends
With no exception, a number of fringe events are returning to the show to complement the industry’s development, offering more opportunities for participants to share, learn and interact with one another.
One highlighted event is the “Industrial System Integration Innovation Application Seminar under the ‘Dual Carbon’ Goals”. In recent years, following the announcement of the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals by the Chinese Government, many industries are heading towards a greener manufacturing approach. This seminar will discuss how automation solutions contribute to the evolution of industrial system integration with lower emissions and higher energy efficiency.
On the other hand, the “Beijing-Guangdong Industrial Internet and Intelligent Manufacturing Seminar” will gather several experts to explore the development of the industrial internet in the era of big data, IoT and intelligent manufacturing. These technologies are playing an important role in driving a higher level of automation in the manufacturing chain.
