In recent years, smart technology has replaced the internet as the buzzword of the times. Be it manufacturing, service, or finance, in every sector people are talking about robotics and AI, which are disrupting all established norms. Electronics manufacturing is making the accelerated transition to flexible, smart, and refined processes thanks to technological advancements.
The industry is offering a bigger space as more refined functional allocation and closer coordination lead the way to the future. With increasingly fierce market competition, industry players have to respond quickly and innovate readily. NEPCON, committed to providing a platform that offers cutting-edge industry intelligence and ensures cost efficiency for exhibitors and buyers alike over its operations of more than three decades, will see its 2017 installment at Shenzhen Conference and Exhibition Center 29-31 August. Based in the center of the electronics manufacturing industry in South China, NEPCON South China 2017 again offers an industry fanfare to gather industry elites at an event of unprecedented scale and scope. The event will see over 600 leading brand namesthat come to showcase their innovation and technological strengths. Trade visitors get to know indispensable solutions for SMT, EMA, welding and glue spray, and test and measurement. They also get to follow up with the latest industry trends and technologies by participating in the many seminars and forums on the sideline of the event.
600 exhibitors + Two additional events side by side = hot fanfare to continue
The 2016 installment featured an exhibition area of nearly 45,000sqm, attracting 44,982 trade visitors, technical professionals and R&D engineers from all electronics manufacturers covering EMS/OEM/ODM, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, computing, telecommunications, and medical electronics, among others. The 2017 installment is expected to maintain the scope and appeal, with an exhibition area of over 45,000sqm and to attract 600 leading brand names from 22 countries and regions as well as over 48,000 trade visitors.
Two additional professional events will take place side by side with NEPCON South China2017, namely, CS Show and AUTOMOTIVE WORLD CHINA, offering the latest information regarding industrial automation, printed circuit, automotive semiconductor and electronic components, car-borne systems, autonomous driving, IoV, and automotive software in China as well as key insights on smart manufacturing, green technologies, and new processes and materials.
Highlights on key industry sectors with four itinerary plans to help guide the visit
At the many seminars that take place during the event, the smart home ecosystem conference stands out as a key activity. China will become the biggest smart home market in Asia and even in the whole world. According to management consultancy A.T. Kearney, the global smart home market will grow from 10 billion USD today to 50 billion USD in 2020. In 2030, the market is expected to value at 400 billion USD. By 2030, the Asian market will see a total sales value at more than 115 billion USD, accounting for more than a quarter of the global market. The smart home ecosystem conference will include a plenary session and three break-out panels to explore key industry hot issues including smart safety and security, smart environment, and smart health.
The auto industry is driving smart technology growth. With the rapid development of the automotive electronics in China, smart, connected e-vehicles represent the future of the auto industry. About 70% new auto technologies rely on electronics advancements. During the event, more seminars will take place to explore automotive electronics issues, particularly digital cockpit, smart connectivity, new energy automobiles, and other hot topics.
As the fundamental electronic component that connects with other elements, the printed circuit board is virtually ubiquitous in the whole electronics manufacturing landscape. With the integration of Industry 4.0 and internet+ concepts, the Chinese electronics manufacturing industry is seeing a new wave of innovation and the rise of startups. Printed circuit boards play a key role in the new industry wave. In recent years, new energy auto, telecommunications, biology, and consumer electronics have all contributed to the gaining momentum of the PCB market. The PCB conference at CS Show 2017 will feature a green theme.
To enhance visitor experience and engagement, the organizer offers a range of activities throughout the event, including seminars on automatic control, electronics manufacturability, among others. Live streaming will be available to enhance engagement with exhibitors and visitors. In addition, the organizer works with overseas associations and media partners to invite international buyers from India, Vietnam, Thailand, and other emerging markets so as to expand outreach to more overseasvisitors.
It is also worth noting that the organizer has offered four itinerary plans to visitors to suit differentiated interests and needs. The four itinerary plans include 1) classic electronics manufacturing: NEPCON SMT + electronics manufacturing seminars; 2) smart factory: EMA + automation seminars; 3) auto technologies: automotive electronics + auto seminars; and 4) Green PCB: CS Show + PCBseminars. The visitors may choose from the four itineraries to better target exhibits and contents. The pre-regfunction is open now.
