yet fulfilled the necessary conditions for
industrial 4.0. “Only a few companies
are making use of networking produc-
tion technologies. Industry 4.0 is still a vi-
sion for many Chinese companies, but
an attainable one, and attainable in the
foreseeable future, if it is desired that
something be done to cope with cost
pressures.” It is to this end that CHINA-
PLAS 2017 gives Industry 4.0 top priority.
The 2nd Industry 4.0 Conference, pre-
sented with the support from VDMA, the
German Engineering Federation, will be
held in the afternoon of May 16, in the
morning of May 17 and in the afternoon
of May 18, 2017. As a “signature dish”
dedicated to visitors, the conference will
provide practical and operational solu-

CHINAPLAS’ exciting concurrent
events, in which industrial giants share
their experiences and attendees gain in-
sights into industrial trends, have always
been the highlight of the trade fair, and
well received by exhibitors and visitors
alike. Not only will more than 3,300 ex-
hibitors introduce innovative solutions
for the plastics and rubber industries, but
also will the organizer hold a wealth of
concurrent events to meet the industry’s
multiple needs.
Focusing on the theme of “
Intelligent
Manufacturing, High-tech Materials,
Green Solutions
”, the organizer of
CHINAPLAS, Adsale Exhibition Services
Ltd., will administrate three big concur-
rent events during the exhibition: the 2nd
“
Industry 4.0 Conference
”, “
Design x In-
novation
”, and the “
3rd Medical Plastics
Conference
”. Visitors can expect to grasp
the cutting-edge technologies and inspir-
ing case studies in these events, allowing
them to hop on the bandwagon and un-
derstand market dynamics from multiple
dimensions, explore more valuable op-
portunities for collaborations and expand
networks to facilitate development.
Industry 4.0 is the prime focus
: China
has quickly become the world’s second
largest national economy, and labour
costs have risen sharply. It is no longer a
low-wage cost country – all kinds of cost
pressures force businesses to opt for
more automation equipment and ad-
vanced technology in the production
processes.
According to Stanley Chu, Chairman,
Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd., China is
still a developing country, and has not

eventually move towards the direction of
customized, small batch production,
which are also the characteristics of addi-
tive manufacturing (3D printing) techno-
logy which meet the demands for the
development of more personalized pro-
ducts. This is the long-term goal of In-
dustry 4.0.
Since its inception, “
Design x Innova-
tion
” has attracted a lot of attention. As
visitors’ needs get more sophisticated,
the event itself gets more vibrant – “
In-
novation Gallery
”, “
Open Forum
”,
“
Meet the Designers
” are the programs
which introduce success stories of inno-
vative industrial designs to visitors, who
gain inspirations on application of new
materials and at the same time discuss
and exchange solutions face-to-face,
further creating value.
