On December 6, the 2023 World Intelligent Manufacturing Conference opened in Nanjing. With the theme of “Intelligent transformation of data to Internet connection, integration of data and real innovation”, this conference will hold related activities such as theme conferences, special activities, professional forums, industry events and professional exhibitions. The conference upholds the concept of “high-end, international, professional, and systematic”, highlights the new picture of the integration of digital and real development under the background of new industrialization, and presents the future development of intelligent manufacturing in an all-round way.
At the meeting, the International Intelligent Manufacturing Alliance unveiled and released the “2023 World intelligent manufacturing ten scientific and technological progress” and “2023 China Intelligent Manufacturing Ten scientific and technological progress”, which is also since 2017, the international Intelligent Manufacturing Alliance and the China Association for Science and Technology Intelligent Manufacturing Association have released the “double Ten” scientific and technological progress of intelligent manufacturing for seven consecutive years. So far, a total of 67 “World intelligent Manufacturing science and Technology Progress” and 70 “China intelligent Manufacturing science and technology Progress” have been released. The site also released the national intelligent manufacturing demonstration factory unveiling unit, China’s intelligent manufacturing development eight trends. As a supporting event of the conference, the third Intelligent Manufacturing Innovation Competition was also held at the scene of the award ceremony.
As a leader in high-end equipment manufacturing, the aerospace industry is an important area for implementing the innovation-driven development strategy and an important support for building a manufacturing powerhouse. At the signing ceremony, the People’s Government of Jiangsu Province signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Aviation Industry Corporation of China and Aviation Engine Group of China, further focusing on major national strategies and regional economic development, extensively gathering high-quality resources in the aerospace field, and striving to build a new ecology of efficient collaboration and deep integration of production, learning and research.
In order to fully display the latest achievements, cutting-edge technologies and high-end products in the field of intelligent manufacturing, this year’s conference launched offline exhibitions simultaneously, which received positive response and extensive participation from domestic and foreign enterprises, with the largest scale, energy level and number of exhibits in history. The exhibition area of 60,000 square meters, there are more than 390 exhibitors from 10 countries and regions around the world, including the world’s top 500 and industry representative enterprises more than 40, during the exhibition will also hold industry exchanges, new product launch, product promotion and other activities, Huawei will be the first advanced industrial network – TSN switch, Solution providers will share smart manufacturing empowerment solutions on site.
The exhibition has four exhibition areas, of which the industrial robot exhibition area is set up separately for the first time. ABB and Kuka, the four major global robot family enterprises, and Eston and Siasun, the leading domestic robot enterprises, will focus on the robot + manufacturing scene, and display nearly 300 leading robot products such as welding robots, heavy-duty robots, and collaborative robots. Present the latest achievements of key components such as servo systems, retarders, sensors, LiDAR, and solutions such as 3D vision systems. Intelligent Manufacturing Demonstration Application and Solutions exhibition area will focus on intelligent manufacturing solutions and the latest practices covering various industries. A group of Fortune 500 and industry leading enterprises such as Siemens, Dassault Systemes, Phoenix, China Electronics, Huawei, ZTE will plan and display the world’s leading industry solutions around the application scenario. Fifteen enterprises, such as Nanrui Jibao and Hengli Hydraulic, will present the latest practices of national-level intelligent manufacturing demonstration factories in scenes.
