This exhibition attracted a total of 1,177 companies from 26 countries and regions. The exhibition area reached 60,750 square meters. The number of visitors ushered in a new peak. A total of 65,705 professional visitors were received in three days, an increase from the previous session. 17.6%, the most in the history of the exhibition.

Falk Senger, Managing Director of the Munich Expo Group, said: "The Munich Shanghai Optical Expo proved that optoelectronic technology is a key technology in China. The three-day exhibition demonstrated innovative technologies and solutions, and the enthusiasm of the visitors once again proved that the exhibition is in Asia. The status of the industry. "

Build a complete industrial chain platform, focusing on smart manufacturing

Munich Shanghai Optical Expo and China's laser optoelectronic industry have developed together, and have established a relatively complete procurement and supply system around the upstream and downstream of the industry, involving laser and optoelectronics, optics and optical manufacturing, laser production and processing technology, imaging, machine vision, inspection and quality Control (including infrared technology and application products) five major topics, and on this basis, facing the country's major needs, has spawned and led the process upgrade in various fields. With the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry. New requirements for the production process in the future will continue to increase the penetration of photovoltaic technology. While highlighting the vigorous development of Chinese manufacturing, the exhibition also attracted seven major pavilions from Germany, Switzerland, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Lithuania, and Taiwan to gather in Shencheng, as well as industrial high-tech enterprises in 26 countries and regions.

NEWPORT-Mark Gitin, senior vice president and general manager of MKS Wanji Instrument Group, said: "Munich Shanghai Optical Expo is a very exciting and successful expo and a very good platform for us to communicate with new and old customers. The better it is. We look forward to the 15th anniversary event and hope to witness its 30th anniversary with the Munich Shanghai Expo. "

The newly opened OW7 Pavilion has a special scientific research service area to provide scientific audience product technology and innovative applications for target audiences in academia, inspiring scientific research scholars to conscientiously specialize in research, broaden their horizons, and achieve innovative results. Zhao Tianqi, a teacher at the China Jiliang University / School of Optoelectronics, said: "Participating in the Munich Shanghai Expo will make us gain a lot. In addition to seeing many dazzling exhibitor products, the biggest gain is that we can establish contact with domestic and international technology experts. Conducive to our future cooperation and technological improvement. "

Bring together new products for launch, focus on China's power, and the optoelectronic industry has a strong momentum

The 2019 exhibition leads innovation and pursues intensive applications. Nearly 1,200 high-profile new products were released at the exhibition, many of which are used in new energy vehicles, lidar, biomedicine, 5G foldable screens, and intelligent automatic processing applications. Technology and products, at the exhibition site, some excellent displays attracted the attention of the audience, fully showing the growing importance of China's industrial production market for the optoelectronic industry. Munich Shanghai Expo also provides a display platform for Chinese optoelectronic applications to seek new business opportunities.

It is worth mentioning that, at this exhibition, domestic high-tech enterprises not only showed good "Chinese power" in the field of technology research and development and innovation, but also showed strong vitality in product innovation and application upgrade. . Mo Hengyang, executive deputy general manager of the Intelligent Equipment Division of Wuhan Huagong Laser Engineering Co., Ltd., said: "We think that the Shanghai Optical Fair in Munich will be very meaningful to the entire industry. It is a good communication platform for us in the field of laser technology and laser applications. Each year, it has been very fruitful, and many of our development initiatives are based on the information obtained at the Shanghai Optical Expo in Munich. "

Wisdom has you, extraordinary vision

As an essential branch of artificial intelligence, machine vision is developing rapidly and leading the progress of the times. At the same time, the Shanghai International Machine Vision Exhibition and Machine Vision Technology and Industrial Application Seminar (Vision China) was held at the same time. Nearly 300 machine vision manufacturers from 19 countries and regions around the world brought new products to participate. The exhibition area exceeded 15,000 square meters. On March 20, Vision China Shanghai exhibitors released the 2018 machine vision market report on the spot. The machine vision industry sales in 2018 increased by 21% year-on-year, and it is predicted that the compound annual growth rate will reach 23.5% from 2019 to 2021. The second VISION Product Innovation Award was also announced at the dinner that night. The award recognizes outstanding and innovative products in the field of machine vision. The machine vision technology and industrial application seminar, which lasted two and a half days, released 27 new product technical reports from domestic and foreign enterprises, and successively welcomed 1347 professional participants!

Zhang Yao, vice president of TELEDYNE IMAGING, said: "This exhibition has a very large flow of people, the quality of the audience is also very high, and the overall feeling is better than last year. I am very satisfied with the effect of the exhibition." Lingyun Optical Technology Group, Deputy of Vision and Image Device Division Director Xia Buli said: "Every exhibition can see a lot of new products, applications and needs. In the future, we believe that with the development of Industry 4.0, there will be more new trends and the development of cutting-edge technology, which will continue to emerge and promote the development of the industry. . "

Ten core themes, one hundred heavyweights, and more than 150 exciting forums to carry out in-depth international production-university-research exchanges and cooperation

At the same time, the exhibition will also hold optical technology conference PHOTONICS CONGRESS CHINA and other concurrent conferences. The conference has a wide range of topics and focuses on hot topics in the industry. The topics will include laser processing, advanced lasers, optical technology, infrared imaging technology, lidar, laser safety, beam analysis, etc. New R & D achievements and progress have comprehensively covered multiple laser and optoelectronic fields. The holding of these events will closely combine science, R & D and industrial applications, and give scientific research and production more unique practical value. The conference invited academicians of the National Academy of Engineering / SPIE Chairman Dr. Robert Arthur Lieberman in 2016, Academician Jiang Huilin of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Academician Pan Junhua of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Chairman of the Chinese Instrumentation Association / Director of the Chinese Optical Society Zhuang Songlin, Academician of the Chinese Society of Optics Many well-known scholars at home and abroad, including Dr. Lu Yongfeng from the University of Nebraska Lincoln University and Professor Zhang Zhigang from the Institute of Quantum Electronics of Peking University School of Information, attended the feast of many intelligent collisions. The conference attracted a total of 3,826 visitors (including machine vision technology and industrial application seminar listeners), and each meeting was full of seats

Wang Youliang, Director of the Laser Processing Professional Committee of the Chinese Optical Society, said: "We and the Shanghai Optical Expo in Munich have witnessed China's laser industry from scratch, from small to large. Very vigorous, and the audience is highly professional. I believe that the scale of the Munich Shanghai Expo will be larger and larger, and the effect will be better and better. "

The next Munich Shanghai Expo will celebrate its fifteenth anniversary and will be held at the Shanghai New International Expo Center on March 18-20, 2020 (postponed).
