Some of the highlighted events include:
- ‘Carbon Peak’ and ‘Carbon Neutral’ Policies Accelerate Industrial Internet Development Forum
Since the introduction of the Chinese government’s ‘carbon peak’ and ‘carbon neutral’ policies, the country’s smart manufacturing market is currently undergoing drastic energy reforms which pose many challenges as well as opportunities. To adhere to the government’s stringent initiatives, manufactures have actively responded by developing energy efficient manufacturing solutions by further integrating information technology with manufacturing processes. This can optimise and improve overall production quality and efficiency, and reduce production waste and emissions among other benefits.
- ‘Dialogue with Hidden Champions’ Seminar Series
Top international and regional experts will provide the latest information on digital production lines and smart factory standards to promote infrastructural upgrades for manufacturers in South China. Experts will share and discuss latest industry trends under China’s latest Five-Year-Plan, reveal the latest findings within the smart manufacturing industry and identify industry challenges and opportunities through case-study sharing.
- Time-Sensitive Networking Technology and Applications (TSN/A) Conference
Returning to SIAF Guangzhou for the third time is the TSN/A conference. ‘Accelerating information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) convergence’ will be the theme for 2022 and the event will see an array of specialists presenting the latest developments for time-sensitive networking (TSN) technologies including TSN in the 5G era, TSN in SPE-L1, and related products, applications and configurations through interactive discussions and case-study sharing.
- Automated Production Line and Machine Vision Application Forum
China has gradually transformed into the world’s manufacturing powerhouse. With smart manufacturing technologies within the country now in high demand, specifically for computer, communication and consumer electronics (3C) and logistics industries, the forum will highlight the latest developments in machine vision technologies and how they streamline various manufacturing processes.
