From July 11 to 13, 2023, the China (Shanghai) Machine Vision Exhibition and Machine Vision Technology & Application Conference took place at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). The event was hosted by the Machine Vision Industry Union (CMVU) and undertaken by Messe Muenchen Shanghai Co., Ltd. The purpose of the event was to promote machine vision technology and its application integration while enabling industrial automation. During the three days, the event attracted the participation of more than 300 high-tech enterprises from both domestic and foreign markets.
The China (Shanghai) Machine Vision Exhibition and LASER World of PHOTONICS CHINA attracted more than 94,648 buyers. These numbers show a faster-than-anticipated growth rate.
Growing Through Nineteen Years
Striving to Build an Industry-Wide Exchange Platform
Since its inception 19 years ago in 2004, VisionChina has honed its expertise and emerged as a prominent platform for global machine vision enterprises to showcase their achievements and a pivotal hub for extensive exchanges and collaborations between the Chinese and foreign machine vision industries, serving as a catalyst for industrial development and advancement of commerce and trade. Given the current national development strategies, we can anticipate a favorable landscape for the industry where opportunities outweigh challenges. As the economy gradually recovers and the state formulates the 14th Five-Year Plan along with long-term development goals, a promising blueprint for economic and social advancement emerges. The machine vision industry, playing a crucial role in intelligent manufacturing, is poised for a prosperous future. The exhibition aims to promote international and cross-domain cooperation and exchanges, delving deep into the exploration and presentation of both domestic and international machine vision technologies and their application solutions, as well as trending topics.
As the economy recovers, the Chinese machine vision industry has also become unpredictable. It is this unpredictability that enables us to appreciate every opportunity in the industry’s growth. Mr. Jin Pan, Chairman of the Machine Vision Industry Union (CMVU)——the organizer, states, "The future has already arrived. And only by adapting to and seizing this trend, taking precautions and proactively embracing challenges can we secure a foothold in an uncertain environment. CMVU will always stand together with you. Let’s work together closely for a promising future in the machine vision industry!"
"The highly anticipated China (Shanghai) Machine Vision Exhibition takes place after a two-year wait, carrying the hopes and aspirations of both exhibitors and the industry as a whole. I am pleased to witness the exhibition's successful establishment as a platform for showcasing the remarkable advancements in innovation achieved in recent years. It allows exhibitors to proudly present their product technologies. This will drive significant changes and ongoing progress in artificial intelligence and industrial automation," said Wangbin Lu, Chief Operating Officer (Greater China) of Messe Muenchen Shanghai, when talking about how exhibition companies can facilitate the industrial development in 2023 marked by full recovery.
