01 Align with the Times Trend and Showcase Cutting-edge Strength

The fields of commercial aerospace, new energy vehicles, and high-end equipment have witnessed an explosion in demand for lightweight, high-strength, and precision complex metal components. MWCS has set up the "Forging Technology and Equipment Exhibition Area", focusing on processes such as light alloy forming, superplastic forming, and precision forging, which is an excellent window for you to connect with leading customers in aerospace, new energy and other fields.

At the same time, with the wide penetration of AI computing power, the manufacturing industry is moving towards "intelligent perception, autonomous decision-making, and flexible production". The "AI + Industrial Mother Machines" zone gathers leading enterprises such as Shanghai Machine Tool Works, Top NC, and Jiaotong Zhibang, focusing on displaying AI-enabled high-precision processing, adaptive control, and intelligent operation and maintenance systems, helping you seize the technological commanding height of the "intelligent manufacturing brain".


02 Live Display of Automated Production Lines, Leading the Implementation of Smart Factories

MWCS has always been the launch platform for "unmanned, flexible, and integrated" intelligent production lines. Previous exhibitions have presented full-process automated solutions for laser cutting, bending, welding, and testing, covering complete processing scenarios from sheet metal to pipes, and from 2D to 3D.

In 2026, we will further create a "Smart Factory Showroom", inviting exhibitors to display the next generation of production lines centered on data-driven, module collaboration, and human-machine collaboration, providing global buyers with a panoramic reference from single-machine upgrading to whole-line integration.


03 Precision Gathering of Global Buyers, Linking High-value Demands

Relying on the strong appeal of CIIF, MWCS gathers professional visitors from more than 133 countries and regions. According to the 2025 Show Visitor Data Report, more than 91.9% of them have purchasing power or decision-making influence. In previous sessions, we received more than 500 professional buyer groups including Jiangnan Shipyard and Daming International, covering high-demand fields such as new energy vehicles, aerospace, shipping, energy, and electronics. Here, you not only display equipment, but also connect with "how to use your production line to solve their new problems".
