As a professional exhibition on the theme of industrial automation under the "China International Industry Fair", the Industrial Automation Show (IAS) is an international event covering comprehensive solutions for industrial automation, production and process automation, electrical systems, industrial IT and manufacturing informatization, as well as microsystem technology. Years of success have established its position as one of the most charming professional exhibitions in the field of automation in China and even Asia, providing an ideal business platform for industry peers to get acquainted, gather and interact.

From November 1st to 5th, 2016, IAS will host its new grand event at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), the world's largest exhibition complex. It is expected that the exhibition in 2016 will feature 600 exhibitors, an exhibition area of 56,000 square meters and an extremely large scale of 140,000 professional visitors.

Exhibition features

High-end: As the only national-level equipment industry exhibition hosted by the Chinese government, it has always been committed to showcasing advanced and cutting-edge automation technologies and products, helping enterprises grasp industrial policies and industry development trends, and bringing more high-end users and standardized services to manufacturers.

The market: Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta economic circle are home to the largest industrial automation user industries in China, including automotive manufacturing, shipbuilding, metallurgy, aerospace, new energy, mold manufacturing, power generation and power transmission and distribution, and electronic information industries. They have become a must-compete area that automation enterprises focus on and fully expand.

Professional: The organizing institution has rich experience in organizing large-scale automation exhibitions. The 500 exhibitors comprehensively cover the entire field of industrial automation. The exhibition areas are strictly divided into major product categories such as production and process automation, electrical systems, robot technology, industrial automation information technology and software, and microsystem technology. Industry associations provide strong resource support, organize large-scale exhibitions for enterprises and invite users and industry buyers, offering professional and considerate one-stop services. Exhibitors were extremely satisfied with the exhibition results, with a repeat participation rate as high as 80%.

International: IAS has been certified by the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (UFI). Gathering industry leading enterprises such as SIEMENS, ABB, Fanuc, Omron, Fuji Electric, Phoenix Contact, Yaskawa Electric, Beckhoff Electric, LS Electric, and Staubli, with over 60% of exhibitors from abroad, IAS has truly become the No. 1 exhibition in Asia for the automation industry.

Linkage: Joint hosting of multiple exhibitions creates a complete industrial chain. Compared with other professional automation exhibitions, the IAS held concurrently and at the same location as the CNC Machine Tools and metalworking Exhibition, the New Energy Vehicle Exhibition, the Power and Electrical Engineering Exhibition, the Information Technology exhibition and other professional exhibitions form a complete industrial chain. It not only gathers over 1,000 user enterprises and automation enterprises to truly achieve zero-distance industrial chain interaction, but also meets the needs of user units to select the relevant equipment required for production and manufacturing at a single exhibition, truly realizing "one-stop" procurement.
