Notably, within the FBC exhibition focusing on intelligent processing, advanced Syringe Automatic Assembly Equipment made a striking appearance, demonstrating high-precision assembly technologies that meet medical industry standards, which further enriched the exhibition’s coverage of high-end manufacturing scenarios.
Core Positioning: Building a Collaborative Ecosystem for Intelligent Manufacturing
Liu Guoliang, Managing Director of Hannover Milano Fairs (China) Co., Ltd., stated: “We aim to build a collaborative ecological platform that connects the entire industrial chain of intelligent manufacturing, gather globally leading technologies and solutions, strongly promote the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry towards high-end, intelligent and green directions, and facilitate in-depth integration and innovative collaboration between upstream and downstream of the industrial chain.”
Intelligent Logistics Highlight: CeMAT ASIA Leads Industry Transformation
With the theme of “Digital Empowerment · Green Innovation · Intelligent Future”, CeMAT ASIA (Asia International Material Handling, Logistics Technology & Transportation Systems Exhibition) presented a grand feast of intelligent logistics. The scale of the exhibition was fully upgraded, with an exhibition area exceeding 80,000 square meters, attracting more than 900 well-known exhibitors from home and abroad to gather together, comprehensively demonstrating the cutting-edge trends of intelligent upgrading of logistics technology and green low-carbon transformation.
During the exhibition, various exhibition areas showed vigorous innovative vitality, with continuous launches of new products. On the exhibition stands, leading technologies meeting the needs of different scenarios, the latest achievements in intelligence and automation, and flexible and efficient product lineups were brilliant. With profound technical heritage, enterprises jointly provided strong support for the development of intelligent logistics. The display and application prospects of these cutting-edge technologies resonated deeply with enterprises in the industry and helped promote the collaborative development of the industry. The platform value of the exhibition has also won wide praise from participating enterprises.
Enterprise Voices: Recognizing Platform Value and Forging Cooperation Consensus
Guo Jinpeng, Director, Chief Technology Officer of KION Group and President of ITS Asia Pacific, highly recognized the platform value of CeMAT ASIA. He said, “As a benchmark exhibition in the field of logistics warehousing and transportation in Asia, CeMAT ASIA has allowed KION Group to fully demonstrate its latest achievements in the field of intelligent logistics. We look forward to CeMAT ASIA continuing to enhance its internationalization and professionalism, and expand the scale and influence of the exhibition. At the same time, KION Group also looks forward to deepening cooperation with more partners, working together to promote the innovation and development of logistics technology, and creating a better future for intelligent logistics.”
Dematic brought the world premiere of its Feilong Container System at this exhibition, which attracted wide attention. This flexible system integrating German technology and localized innovation allowed domestic and foreign visitors to intuitively feel its market advantages through dynamic demonstrations. Moreover, interactive forms such as the VRH virtual warehouse experience at the exhibition site further deepened technical exchanges. Steve Cheung, Senior Vice President (SVP) of Dematic Global and President of Asia, China, Middle East and Africa, said: “As an innovator deeply engaged in internal supply chain, Dematic has gained a lot from participating in CeMAT ASIA 2025. This session of CeMAT ASIA has built a high-quality platform for us to connect global resources. During the exhibition, we received many high-quality buyers, which not only consolidated existing cooperation but also explored new overseas opportunities. CeMAT ASIA is indeed the largest and most influential professional exhibition of internal logistics solutions and advanced technologies in the Asia-Pacific region. We look forward to continuing to work together in the future to promote industry innovation.”
Chen Saimin, person in charge of Hangcha Group, said: “Hangcha Group has participated in CeMAT ASIA Shanghai for many consecutive years. At this exhibition, Hangcha released the Hangcha X1 series logistics humanoid robot for the first time. This not only represents that Hangcha has taken a step forward in its strategic transformation from a traditional industrial vehicle manufacturer to a full-scenario intelligent logistics solution provider, but also presents a new panoramic ecosystem of intelligent logistics technology, which has attracted the attention of high-quality customers at home and abroad. A large number of foreign professionals and enterprise groups came to our booth for supply-demand matching, shared industry development trends and exchanged the latest technological innovations. The atmosphere at the booth was warm, and the organizer provided professional support throughout the process. We hope the exhibition will become better and better.”
As a global provider of machine vision and mobile robot products and solutions, Hikvision Robotics participated in CeMAT ASIA for the ninth time this year. Cai Hua, Vice President of Domestic Marketing of the company, when talking about this exhibition, said that CeMAT ASIA, as a highly influential professional exhibition platform in the logistics industry, has attracted many logistics enterprises at home and abroad. Hikvision Robotics has participated in the exhibition for many consecutive years, and has made new friends and strengthened ties with old friends during the exhibition. Hikvision Robotics is a global provider of machine vision and mobile robot products and solutions, focusing on industrial Internet of Things, intelligent logistics and intelligent manufacturing, building an open cooperation ecosystem to provide services for users in the industrial and logistics fields. We sincerely wish CeMAT ASIA (Asia Logistics Exhibition) to become better and better, add impetus to China’s intelligent manufacturing and create brilliance.
Thought Exchange: Building a Multidimensional Platform for Industry-University-Research Integration
Complementing the exhibition were rich ideological exchange activities. Through nearly 40 professional activities, CeMAT ASIA built a comprehensive exchange system from technical seminars to application practices. Among them, the three themed activities of the Innovation Salon deeply analyzed the innovation path of logistics technology from three dimensions: technological breakthroughs, supply chain collaboration and artificial intelligence applications. Two national college student innovation competitions also injected fresh blood into the industry and demonstrated the fruitful results of industry-education integration. As an important part of the linked ecosystem, the “Future Intelligent Manufacturing X Enjoyment Area” located in Hall ON1 facilitated accurate matching of hundreds of enterprises through in-depth exchanges over four days. The “Premium Buyer Club” built an efficient cooperation channel for global procurement decision-makers.
The four-day industrial grand event has come to a successful end, but the industrial resonance stirred by “intelligent manufacturing” continues, and the seeds of innovative cooperation have been deeply planted on this fertile land. From November 3 to 6, 2026, Hannover Messe Shanghai will set sail again, joining hands with global industrial forces to jointly open a new chapter of in-depth integration of technology and manufacturing!
