The Shenzhen World Exhibition and Convention Center in Bao’an District was abuzz with festive energy as more than 1,800 domestic and international industrial brands gathered to showcase their latest high-end equipment, precision manufacturing capabilities, and intelligent production solutions at the 27th ITES China Shenzhen Industrial Manufacturing Technology & Equipment Exhibition and High-End Equipment Manufacturing Industry Cluster Exhibition (ITES China Expo), which kicked off on March 31.
Covering 160,000 square meters, the four-day spring flagship event for South China’s manufacturing sector addresses emerging applications spanning embodied intelligence, AI server systems, semiconductor equipment, and new energy vehicles, supported by over 80 thematic forums.
The fair is designed to form a complete industrial loop connecting industrial machine tools and precision machining with automation, intelligent systems, and flexible manufacturing solutions.
High-end equipment pavilion
The ITES High-End Equipment Exhibition delivers a full-scale showcase of advanced manufacturing capabilities, from five-axis simultaneous machining and compound processing to ultra-precision milling and EDM solutions. It directly tackles extreme machining challenges demanded by cutting-edge sectors such as semiconductors, aerospace, and embodied intelligence, where accuracy, stability, and efficiency are all critical.
At the show, Yamazaki Mazak presents the INTEGREX i-630 V five-axis hybrid machining center in its first South China exhibition. Featuring the ability to complete multi-sided turning and milling in a single setup, it helps solve two persistent production issues for large disc-shaft-type parts: cumulative errors caused by multiple re-clampings, and cutting-chip entanglement during machining.
Makino Machine Tool displays its latest products at the ITES China Expo.
Makino Machine Tool showcases its locally developed JH5 horizontal machining center for the first time in the South China market. Designed to support both mid- to high-volume production and the scalable needs of component suppliers, it also performs effectively for complex parts in the general engineering machinery sector—delivering reliable machining performance across diverse applications.
Beijing Jingdiao also makes a strong appearance with its first China debut of the JDMR400 MT high-speed machining center. The system is aimed at solving difficult-to-machine and deformation-prone problems, particularly for titanium alloy joints used in humanoid robotics and for housing-type components, helping manufacturers achieve the precision and surface quality required for next-generation industrial products.
Other heavyweight participants include FANUC, Yasda, RÖDERS, UMN, Mitsubishi, Sodick, Shenzhen Create Century Machinery, Kejie Technology, among others.
From automation to intelligent automation
ITES brings a full “lights-out factory” vision to life, showing how flexible production can move from concept to real-world deployment. Covering the entire chain from industrial robots to embodied intelligence agents, and from key components to end-to-end line integration, ITES demonstrates how factories can transition toward unmanned, efficient, and scalable operations.
Envisioned by Feixi Technology, Enlight’s all-sensing adaptive robot stands out with a lightweight anthropomorphic design. Equipped with a whole-body sensing system and a safe, hierarchical control architecture, it is well suited for applications such as precision assembly, surface processing, and operations in tight spaces.
Visitors gather at the Leju Robot booth at the expo.
Also making an impact, Kuavo, showcased by Leju, is described as the world’s first 5G-A-enabled humanoid robot with 41 degrees of whole-body freedom. Its robot body is paired with Taskor, the first nationwide industrial embodied intelligence software platform. Together, they are positioned for wide adoption across industrial manufacturing, commercial services, and research and education sectors.
ITES further supports South China manufacturers with a one-stop automation selection reference, bridging everything “from the brain to the joints.” Key brands including Fuji Electric, Nide & Lianda, Balluff, and Aihefa among others are assembled to provide practical options for building intelligent production lines.
Fuji Electric delivers a strong highlight, bringing its full range of inverters and low-voltage control electrical components. With a comprehensive lineup of core power and control products, Fuji Electric offers high-efficiency and reliable solutions for industrial automation, new energy, and smart manufacturing.
Self-reliant and controllable supply-chain ecosystem
Alongside the main event, the Shenzhen Medical Device Supply Chain Eco-Expo provides a comprehensive on-site view of the full journey, from upstream innovation and R&D design, to manufacturing production, and finally product commercialization. The expo focuses on how advanced manufacturing can empower the industry while accelerating supply-chain upgrades, offering a one-stop platform for ecosystem-wide industrial collaboration.
Siemens Healthineers showcased its core supplier network, bringing key partners such as AVIC Optoelectronics, ZJ&T Technology, Zhaoxing Botuo, Shinsen Technology, and Trading Union Special Cables to the spotlight. The exhibit highlights “high-end and high-precision” critical components, including optoelectronic detection modules for precise measurement, as well as stable magnets and RF system solutions—helping accelerate domestic substitution of advanced medical device components.
Meanwhile, Mindray joined forces with essential suppliers including Chaojie, Yiheda, Jufeng Display, Nanjing Shenglue, and Shide Medical to present intelligent manufacturing solutions.
Unlocking AI-driven productivity
ITES Shenzhen Industrial Expo hosted “AI Productivity — Unlocking the Power of Smart Manufacturing” panel discussions and an entrepreneurs’ exchange event to explore new possibilities for industrial collaboration. The expo also launched more than 80 “problem-solving action” sessions, including forums, roundtables, and closed-door meetings.
On the opening day, the Entrepreneurs’ Exchange Meeting and the expo’s opening ceremony brought together a strong lineup of leaders and invited guests. Over 300 entrepreneurs from sectors including high-end equipment, precision manufacturing, embodied intelligence, new-energy vehicles, semiconductors, and electronic communications gathered on-site for lively discussions and direct exchanges of ideas.
Among the speakers were nine industry leaders: Zhang Yaohua, executive director and president of Yihe Precision; Luo Yuyin, vice president of Chengji Group; Tang Ering, general manager of Lingzhi Robotics; Huang Yongsheng, general manager of EVRVE; Xiong Qingping, general manager of Huazhong CNC; Xia Xing, chairman of Jiayi Machine Tools; Chu Qing, chairman of Zhishi Shengong; Liu Xiangming, co-CEO of Titanium Media Group; and Wu Yizhou, CEO of GleamVision. They discussed the real-world applications of AI intelligent agents and the future outlook for bringing AI into industrial operations.
Alongside ITES, the 2026 Industrial New Intelligence Summit featured more than 80 high-level forums with over 450 industry experts. The program concentrated on seven major hot tracks—semiconductor equipment, AI servers, embodied intelligence, aerospace, electronic intelligent manufacturing, new-energy vehicles, and medical devices — offering a platform for cross-industry insights and technology-driven collaboration.
