Organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, the very first Intelligent Manufacturing will open its doors next week with a wide variety of engaging topics, comprising around 28 conferences and seminars delivered by 21 expert speakers from industry and academia to an expected audience of over 300 manufacturing professionals. There will also be a delegation from China organised by the International Alliance of Robotics Associations (IARA) present at the event.
With the rise of the “China Plus One” strategy, firms are diversifying their resources into the ASEAN region in pursuit of greater flexibility, resilience and productivity over their supply chains. As one of the top destinations in the region for innovation and advanced manufacturing technologies, Malaysia is expanding its manufacturing capabilities to climb the value chain and enhance competitiveness, with benefits from supportive national policies and a favourable business environment.
In this regard, Intelligent Manufacturing vows to support the digital transformation of Malaysia’s manufacturing industry through an array of events including conferences, tech labs and deep dive sessions, underlying Malaysia's Industry 4.0 transformation, with a focus on robotics, AIoT and AI.
