Reporter's early visit → The largest ever industrial expo is about to open, using three years to "hold back big moves"
On September 19th, the 23rd China International Industrial Expo kicked off, returning to offline exhibitions after three years. The theme of this year's Industrial Expo is "Carbon Cycle, New Industry, and New Economy", which is unprecedented in scale, energy level, and the number of new exhibits. More than 2800 manufacturing enterprises from 30 countries and regions around the world will compete on the same stage in the 300000 square meter exhibition space of the National Convention and Exhibition Center.
On the eve of the opening ceremony, the four leaf clover was bustling with activity. The first exhibition, independent innovation and other heavyweight exhibits in the industrial field are ready to be released. On the afternoon of the 18th, the reporter arrived at the site of the Industrial Expo in advance to see the future prospects of China's industrial development.

Compared to previous years, the number of booths for new energy vehicles and environmentally friendly materials at this year's Industrial Expo has greatly increased, and green products have become a new trend in the exhibition.
Fengyuan Group, the parent company of Fengyuan Biotechnology, was originally a chemical enterprise mainly producing citric acid, with its main customers coming from the carbonated beverage industry. In recent years, through continuous innovation in fermentation technology, Fengyuan Group has become the first company in China to master the full industry chain technology of polylactic acid. It has successfully achieved high-value reuse of crop straw such as corn and potatoes, producing new materials such as polylactic acid, which can be used as disposable tableware, biomass leather, textile fabrics, etc., effectively solving the pollution pain points caused by straw burning.
Biobased new materials are not only more environmentally friendly and biodegradable, but also have relatively low carbon emissions during the production process. "Currently, producing one ton of polylactic acid generates 0.31 tons of carbon emissions, while producing one ton of plastic PP material generates 3 tons of carbon emissions. The carbon footprint of polylactic acid is only about one tenth of that of traditional petroleum based materials." Zhou Ning, Deputy Director of the Biomarketing Department of Anhui Fengyuan Biotechnology Co., Ltd., introduced that the 36 million sets of disposable tableware used at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics are environmentally friendly tableware provided by Fengyuan Biotechnology, which is made from the reuse of crop straw.
In addition to producing green products, more and more enterprises are also using technological means to reduce carbon emissions. On the Jieka Robot booth, 16 dancing robotic arms form a square array, with a large display screen standing in front. The debugging staff told reporters that the OTA smart service platform of the card saving robot displayed on this screen can display the real-time power consumption of the robot for exhibitors, making energy-saving and carbon reduction achievements visible.

Through digital means, Chinese enterprises are practicing the low-carbon concept. Wang Lei, the person in charge of Jieka Robotics, said that currently these collaborative robots can be applied to multiple fields such as industry and life. By collecting data from collaborative robots, the platform can intuitively provide users with robot operation data, such as temperature, speed, rotation speed, etc., calculate the overall energy consumption data of the robot group, help users make more accurate production scheduling, and reduce carbon emissions.

Publish a "digital" transcript
Energy conservation and carbon reduction are only a small part of the achievements of digital transformation. This year's Industrial Expo can also be said to be a transcript of China's industrial digital transformation.

Currently, the impact of digitalization has covered all aspects of the supply chain. At this Industrial Expo, Xinfangsheng Group, a one-stop industrial product service platform, unveiled for the first time the "Industrial Cloud Chain" digital supply chain management platform. Xu Honglai, Director of Xinfangsheng Commodity Center, introduced that compared with traditional supply chain management tools, "Gongpin Cloud Chain" integrates the execution of procurement processes, helping enterprises achieve important matters such as supplier management, information management, order management, and settlement management, effectively improving the efficiency of enterprise supply chain collaboration.
Meanwhile, through intelligent technology, the operational efficiency of each link in the supply chain can also be improved. Xu Hong provides an example that by using the digital supply chain, customer demand can be intelligently predicted, and the degree of supply and demand matching can be increased by 15%; In the procurement process, intelligent screening of suppliers has improved sourcing efficiency; In the performance delivery stage, by intelligently scheduling transportation routes and warehouses, inventory turnover can be increased by 16% and delivery time can be shortened by 12%.
In the "New Generation Information Technology and Applications Exhibition" exhibition area, Shanghai Yidian presented the main development trend of the group's digital transformation through the combination of digital content and hardware products.
"Instrument and electrical science instruments sector has always ranked first in the market share of the domestic electrochemical analysis field. As a leading product in China's technology, the full-automatic titration robot we displayed at this International Industry Expo can achieve rapid titration of up to 80 samples in three channels." The field staff said that, in addition to consolidating the main business, Shanghai Instrument and Electric Co., Ltd. is facing a new generation of information technology characterized by the Internet, cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, strengthening the improvement of core capabilities, providing smart city solutions based on digital transformation, enabling economic digitalization, life digitalization, and governance digitalization.
