With the development of emerging industries such as automotive electronics, industrial Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and 5G, the demand for semiconductors is growing. The semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry is closely connected with it, and upstream and downstream enterprises in the industrial chain have also obtained greater opportunities and development.

In order to further promote the development of semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry, recently, the second intelligent manufacturing Technology Salon of semiconductor equipment sponsored by Weidmuller and co-organized by China Electronic Special Equipment Industry Association was successfully held in Beijing.

The salon invited experts and business representatives from industry associations, equipment manufacturing and other fields to exchange views on hot topics such as the development of China’s semiconductor equipment industry, new developments and new challenges facing the industry, closely focusing on the theme of “digital transformation, intelligent connection Weilai”.

Mr. Lu Shuxian, Marketing Director of Weidmuller Greater China, delivered a welcome speech, hoping that through this event, Weidmuller can connect the upstream and downstream of the semiconductor equipment manufacturing industry, achieve technology exchange, experience sharing and resource sharing, stimulate the innovative power of the industry, lay a solid foundation for win-win cooperation, and promote the coordinated development of the industry.

Expert sharing, insights

Mr. Jin Cunzhong, deputy secretary-general of China Electronic Special Equipment Industry Association, reviewed China’s semiconductor equipment industry in 2022. He said that although the semiconductor equipment industry has been affected by the epidemic and the world economic recession, the main economic indicators of China’s semiconductor equipment industry have continued to maintain a rapid growth trend driven by the domestic market of integrated circuits, power semiconductors and solar cell chips. I believe that in the next time will still maintain a strong momentum, continue to maintain stable growth.

The salon also invited Dr. Gao Wei, deputy secretary general of the third generation semiconductor industry Technology Innovation Strategic Alliance, and other well-known experts in the industry and customer representatives to share the development status and trend of the third generation semiconductor industry, research on key technologies in the semiconductor equipment industry, and practical applications of customers.

Innovative program, enabling “Wei” to come

In view of the pain points in the production and operation of semiconductor equipment enterprises and the current practice path of digital intelligent development, Weidmuller technology and industry experts shared Weidmuller’s typical applications in the semiconductor industry segment, exploration and practice of automated digital products and solutions, and highly reliable industrial connection technology from different dimensions. Weidmuller offers a full range of intelligent solutions for both the front and middle process of semiconductors, as well as professional and systematic cabling compliance consulting services. Weidmuller’s unique perspective and concept of intellectual connection opened up new ideas for the participants to digitize.

Express your views and seek common development

In the interactive communication session, the guests focused on the current development of the semiconductor equipment industry, combined with their own actual situation, exchanged their own experience, and put forward their own specific needs for automation products. We spoke freely and discussed the development of intelligent manufacturing in the semiconductor equipment industry.

Weidmuller always adheres to the three core brand values of “intelligent solution provider, innovation is everywhere, and local customers are oriented”. We will continue to pay attention to China’s semiconductor equipment industry, and help the sustainable development of semiconductor equipment industry by providing innovative digital and intelligent connection technology solutions for local customers.
