Currently, a new round of industrial transformation represented by intelligent manufacturing is on the rise across the world. Digitization, network and intellectualization have increasingly become a major development trend of the manufacturing industry. The world's major industrially advanced countries are quickening their pace to make arrangements, thus driving the development of intelligent manufacturing to reshape the competitive edges of the manufacturing industry.

Meanwhile, "new retail" gained popularity, making online and offline omni-channel integration development become an inexorable trend. Against this backdrop, traditional retail and E-commerce giants begin to explore their own development paths. Facing such a new situation, the logistics industry is considered as a strong support for promoting China's economic transformation and upgrading, receiving more and more attention.

In 2015, China proposed the Made in China 2025 strategy. After two years of development, a range of promotion policies, under the big push of governments at all levels, have been rolled out. A large number of industry-leading benchmark projects in the intelligent manufacturing sector have been put in place and piloted. During the process, a growing number of Chinese manufacturers are aware that the logistics system, as an important part of the intelligent manufacturing system, is not only a core link for them to realize transformation and upgrading as well as a key step to elevate overall efficiency and build an excellent supply chain. Also, more experts said that Industry 4.0 is in fact Logistics 4.0 and that intelligent logistics is the basis of Industry 4.0. More often than not, advanced logistics technologies and solutions are applied in product manufacturing, laying a logistics foundation for enterprises to realize intelligent manufacturing. However, there is no doubt that most manufacturers' operation level in logistics management is low, so Industry 4.0 is still in its infancy and there is still a long way to go.

Meanwhile, the "new retail" era has been opened in China. The so-called new retail is a new round of circulation industry reform resulting from restructuring marketing channels and supply chain system by taking the Internet as the infrastructure, Big Data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things as technical support, and consumers as the core. The new retail sets great store by customer experience and precision services, requiring a comprehensive reform and upgrade of the logistics system supporting development, and building an integrated and collaborative new logistics ecology. That will promote enterprises' reform in logistics concept, model innovation and improvement of management and technical level.


Big Data, the Internet of Things and information technology will become the core technologies of new logistics; while automatic logistics equipment such as robots, AGV and UAVs will be more widely used, making logistics become intelligent. On top of that, cross-boundary innovation and integration have become the development trend of the logistics industry on a gradual basis, which are taken as an inevitable choice by an increasing number of logistics enterprises to go bigger and stronger. For example, enterprises like SF Express and Deppon Express are expediting their penetration into fields such as warehousing integration and e-commerce. And logistics equipment businesses such as INFORM and Noblelift are making expansions in such service fields as agency operations. E-commerce giants, through self-built logistics, will open logistics platforms and provide logistics services for the whole society. It can be said that cross-border integration, as a new way of industrial innovation, will have a profound impact on the development of the logistics industry. Facing the new situation, we don't know the development trend of the logistics industry and how logistics technologies will fuel China's economy.

From October 31 to November 3, 2017, we sincerely invite you to visit the Shanghai New International Expo Center (W1-W5 pavilions) and enjoy a brand-new logistics feast themed "Intelligent Logistics". EXHIBITORS REGISTER HERE and VISITORS REGISTER HERE

As one of the largest international exhibitions in Asian materials handling and logistics technology industry, CeMAT ASIA has been successfully held for 17 times since its inception in 2000. Up to now, the annual CeMAT ASIA has developed into a "museum" for high-end logistics equipment and technologies, where a panoramic view will be provided on the world's top logistics equipment and technologies, and the development trend of logistics equipment and technologies can be accurately mastered. CeMAT ASIA is a also a big platform for logistics staff to gather together, conduct in-depth exchanges and cooperation, where each logistics staff can get to know more counterparts and find the optimal partners. Meanwhile, the exhibition area of about 60,000m2, over 500 famous exhibitors and more than 80,000 trade visitors will provide each participant of CeMAT ASIA with the most objective business opportunities in the year.

All along, CeMAT ASIA is actively integrating the world's advanced logistics technologies to promote innovation and development of China's logistics. As China has become the world's largest logistics equipment market, the demand for advanced logistics technologies and equipment continues to rise, more and more domestic and overseas enterprises join the CeMAT ASIA family, continuously expanding the exhibition's scale.

Diversified and professional forums have become the hallmarks of CeMAT ASIA. CeMAT ASIA Innovation Salon (N1 Hall), with the core value of exchanging ideas on technological development, sharing application cases and discussing future trend, is also scheduled to kick off. Since its inception in 2013, the Innovation Salon has integrated logistics equipment manufacturers, system integrators, user enterprises, industry associations and media resources, providing a neutral, open and free platform for communication. Here, you can wander in the ocean of new technologies, experience the passion of new ideas and new thoughts, get inspired in a brainstorm and constantly expand the way of thinking after exchanges with industry elites. The 2017 Innovation Salon will be held simultaneously with the CeMAT ASIA by focusing on the theme of "Intelligent Logistics", and discuss the future trends of logistics application industries such as fresh food, intelligent manufacturing, automobiles and clothing. With more than 30 keynote speeches, daily round-table conferences, gathering of domestic and overseas top logistics talents, the 2017 Innovation Salon will, as always, become the most dazzling gem on the crown of CeMAT ASIA.

Meanwhile, the CeMAT ASIA attaches great importance to innovation in the value chain. While building display platforms for exhibitors, CeMAT ASIA also actively erects bridges for communication and cooperation, attracting logistics enterprises, manufacturers and commercial and trade enterprises from around the world to participate in various activities on the venue. As a result, the number of participants increases year by year and onsite response becomes increasingly strong. It is reported that in 2016 the CeMAT ASIA organized a total of 115 face-to-face business talks, and 79% of the invited buyers had procurement intention on the spot.

This year, the organizers will launch over 20 technical forums by focusing on application industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical and medical equipment, vehicle and parts logistics, cold chain, retail, and intelligent manufacturing, which can enable participants to have face-to-face communications with over 3,000 experts in the in the industry.
