Smart: Evolving digitally in manufacturing
Smart Manufacturing encompasses technologies like automation, artificial intelligence and IoT integration and enhances manufacturing processes by boosting efficiency, productivity, and flexibility. By integrating real-time data analytics and interconnected systems, it optimises operations and reduces downtime, leading to informed decision-making and agile responses to market demands. Through tools like predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and automated quality control, production output and quality is improved that eventually foster sustainability efforts in the plastics and rubber industries.
At CHINAPLAS 2025, an extensive range of smart manufacturing solutions and machinery will be unveiled in the Injection Molding Solutions Zone and Injection Molding and Smart Manufacturing Solutions Zone, covering a substantial 53,000 sqm.
China’s high tech: Empowering the global plastics and rubber markets
China remains in the spotlight for cutting-edge advancements and industry collaborations. By seamlessly integrating state-of-the-art technologies from China's high-tech domains, manufacturing processes are not only optimised but also witness a significant boost in product quality and competitive edge.
CHINAPLAS 2025 will shine a spotlight on a diverse selection of cutting-edge materials and machinery technologies. These include carbon fiber composites tailored for the low-altitude economy, photovoltaic films, high-performance films, food-grade rPET, UV-resistant functional fabrics, lightweight and electrification solutions, and digitalized smart manufacturing solutions. This year, the exhibition will gather 900 registered exhibitors which are recognised as “Professionalisation, Refinement, Specialisation and Innovation (PRSI)”.
