Recently, AI has flooded the screen again
Recently, the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and High Level Meeting on Global Governance of Artificial Intelligence emphasized the need to seize the historical opportunity of artificial intelligence development, promote better empowerment of economic and social development by artificial intelligence, promote deep integration of technological innovation, industrial development, and scenario applications, and provide important guidance for the intelligent upgrading of the manufacturing industry.
How can AI truly create value for the manufacturing industry?
The answer lies in industrial automation.
AI is redefining the manufacturing industry, and industrial automation is truly moving AI from "thinking" to "manufacturing". From intelligent control and device interconnection to digital factories and flexible production, new technologies are accelerating their implementation, driving intelligent manufacturing from vision to reality and making industrial automation an important engine empowering the manufacturing industry with AI.
Why choose the Industrial Automation Exhibition at the China International Fair for Industry and Technology?
The Industrial Automation Exhibition (IAS) is a core professional exhibition under the China International Industrial Fair and an important annual communication platform for the automation industry.
Here, numerous industry leaders gather to showcase cutting-edge technologies and application achievements such as AI+manufacturing, motion control, intelligent sensing, and digital factories, providing a platform for communication and cooperation between upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.
