Smart Manufacturing Technologies to feature in CHINAPLAS 2017 to support electronics & electrical industries

As market expands, the electronics & electrical industries are promoting healthier, trendier and cozier life experience to customers by introducing functional novelty to their products, such as degermation in refrigerators, self-cleaning and sterilization in air-conditioners. At the same time, new products and concepts, such as intelligent wearable, VR/AR, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), glasses-free 3D and flexible displays provide significant diversity to the market. The pursuit of multiple functions brings new opportunities and challenges to electronics and electrical industries in their quest for smart manufacturing and CMF (color, materials and furnishing) concepts. 

CHINAPLAS is an all-around technology platform for electronics and electrical industries 

CHINAPLAS 2017 will be held on May 16-19 in China Import & Export Fair Complex, Pazhou, Guangzhou, PR China. CHINAPLAS is one of the few trading platforms covering whole production chain of plastics and rubber industries and downstream application sectors, from raw materials to technology and service, from soup to nuts. A vast number of advances and innovations serving the electronics and electrical industries and other downstream industries will be showcased by more than 1,000 materials suppliers and more than 3,400 exhibitors, such as Dow, BASF, DuPont, Polyplastics, Juner, Mitsubishi, SELON, TORAY, FANUC, ENGEL, Haitian, Arburg, and KUKA, etc. A rich variety of advanced additives and processing techniques, including carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin, double shot molding, precision injection molding, nano molding technology and optical molds will be on display, facilitating electronics and electrical industries to reach new highs in intelligentization. 

"Smart Manufacturing Technology Zone" to present industrial automation solutions 

Following the "Smart Manufacturing Development Plan (2016-2020)" published in 2016, the electronics and electrical industries will undoubtedly speed up their transformation and upgrading processes. To achieve this goal, manufacturers would need to continually raise their level of automation and smart manufacturing in order to speed up product development and improve their product mix. 

CHINAPLAS 2017 will feature a "Smart Manufacturing Technology Zone" to present solutions for industrial automation. Apart from robotic arms, automated systems, controllers, actuators and sensors that were featured in previous editions of CHINAPLAS, visitors will have a chance to experience smart factory solutions. 3D printers, 3D scanners, 3D printing software and 3D printing services will be displayed at the show and some suppliers in "Smart Manufacturing Technology Zone" are putting their 3D technology solutions as a focus of promotion. The exhibits, together with the concurrent event, the "2nd Industry 4.0 Conference", provide the essentials which facilitate smart manufacturing. 

It is worth mentioning that the second day of the "2nd Industry 4.0 Conference" is themed "E&E 4.0". Representatives from Wittmann Battenfeld and Arburg will give presentations on smart manufacturing technology and 4.0 solutions for the electronics and electrical industries. Mr. Anston Tan, principal of German Training Centre for Injection Moulding, will deliver a speech on "Smart People, Smart Manufacturing". Panel discussion on "Efficient Individualization of Mass Produced Goods" will also be held. In addition, a seminar on applications of plastics in electronics and electrical industries will be held for experts to discuss ways to facilitate the development of consumer electronics and application areas. 

CHINAPLAS 2017 to facilitate the integration of CMF concept into electronics and electrical industries 

The concept of CMF (color, material and furnishing) in electronics and electrical industries is receiving unprecedented attentions nowadays. Consumers are more likely to choose products with fashionable appearances, stylish designs and bright colors. To cater for the market demand, a variety of environmentally friendly new materials and processes are utilized to give more attractive appearance, at the same time enabling new features such as easy cleaning, resistance to bacterial attachment and mildew proof. In addition, special treatments on these materials enable electrical products to possess anti-light aging and rub resistance properties, as well as more desirable textures. In this regard, visitors of will discover some special materials, such as extra-strong materials, materials for mold-in-color process, materials with high barrier and high transparency, boiling resistance, UV resistance, antibacterial materials, composite and biodegradable materials at the onsite fairground. 

Apart from new materials, in the concurrent event of "Design x Innovation", sponsored by BASF, innovative products and prototypes made from advanced materials will also be showcased, including inflation free tires, racing-focused concept car, stylish children's smart toys and hybrid electronic equipment. It will inspire visitors on how plastics can optimize product design, structural and functional design in a variety of industries, including automotive, building and construction, leisure and lifestyle, and how to integrate the concept of CMF into electronics and electrical industries.

Well known suppliers and professional visitors will gather in CHINAPLAS 2017

[20170421~20170428] Auto Shanghai 2017

China's auto market is still at the top. After single-digit growth rates in 2015, the first half of 2016 shows clear upward growth again with 12 percent. One reason is surely the tax reduction (introduced in October 2015) for cars that have an engine capacity of up to 1.6 liters. China still leads the ranking of the largest car markets in the world. It also wants to be at the head of the pack for the trending topics of electric mobility and autonomous driving. That is why these future trends are in the foreground at Auto Shanghai: the largest automotive exhibition in the world. In 2017, it will be held from April 20th to 27th at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC).

It also wants to be at the head of the pack for the trending topics of electric mobility and autonomous driving. That is why these future trends are in the foreground at Auto Shanghai: the largest automotive exhibition in the world. In 2017, it will be held from April 20th to 27th at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (NECC). In 2015, a total of 928,000 visitors came to the 16th Shanghai International Automobile Industry Exhibition (Auto Shanghai), which was held in the newly built NECC for the first time. Around 2,000 companies from 18 countries presented their innovations on 350,000 square meters of exhibition space.
In 2017, Auto Shanghai will focus on the topics of "alternative drive systems" and "autonomous driving" or "connected cars".

Especially in the giant, booming cities of China, alternative drive systems for vehicles play an important role. To improve the air quality in spite of increasing car sales, China needs immediate alternatives for vehicles with internal combustion engines. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in China already subsidizes the purchase of so-called "New Energy Vehicles". Currently, public users (like urban transport, taxis and logistics companies as well as public authorities) are mainly equipped with vehicles that have the new technology.

According to Dong Yang, the Vice President of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), autonomous driving cars should already be common in China as soon as the year 2030. This means that, in addition to the United States, China will be one of the leading markets for driverless driving.

"For both future trends, suppliers to the automotive industry are in particular demand. They are the experts who advance the developments," says Peter Bergleiter, Managing Director of IMAG GmbH, the European co-organizer of Auto Shanghai.
