The 13th edition of SPS – Industrial Automation Fair (SIAF) Guangzhou will return from 3 – 5 March 2022 at the China Import and Export Fair Complex in Guangzhou. The fair will cover the latest industrial automation innovations worldwide highlighting a broad spectrum of robotics, drives, sensors, human machine interface (HMI) and embedded systems, connectivity and electrical technologies. SIAF will inject a whole host of opportunities into South China’s thriving smart manufacturing industry.
SIAF is the premier hub for intelligent automation solutions in South China. Held concurrently with Asiamold – Guangzhou International Mould & Die Exhibition, both fairs are dedicated to showcasing the latest varieties of smart manufacturing solutions, bringing insights from industry leaders and providing rich networking opportunities for fairgoers within the region. Together, SIAF and Asiamold 2022 expect to welcome over 65,000 visitors and host more than 850 exhibitors across 50,000 sqm of exhibition space.

Earlier this year in February, to kick-start the 14th Five-Year Plan, the Chinese government announced the first set of objectives for the plan. It focuses on 18 key areas which include infrastructure, energy, transportation, information technology, manufacturing, raw materials, space technology and other sectors. Of all the categories mentioned within the first deployment phase of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the development of smart sensors industry in China was one of the focal points.
Since sensors were first introduced to the market, they have evolved to become intelligent devices. Furthermore, the rapid development of emerging industries such as the Internet of Things and mobile internet has brought huge opportunities for the smart sensor industry. According to an Allied Market Research report, the global smart sensor market is expected to reach USD 91.37 billion by 2027 with the Asia-Pacific region being the leading contributor to the global smart sensor market during the forecasted period.
To highlight the smart sensors industry sector, SIAF have devoted Hall 13.2 to showcase the latest smart sensors and machine vision products, solutions and innovations that are available on the market. To date, some of the confirmed smart sensors exhibitors for SIAF 2022 include: Autonics, Baumer, Binder, BOJKE, Controlway, Daheng, Defuro, HEROJE, HR, Kar Ming, MEIJIDENKI, Mindvision, Pepperl+Fuchs, SENPUM, Shijie Intelligent, SUENW, SYGOLE, Yuheng and others.
Similar to previous editions, various product categories will be arranged into different halls to make it easier for fairgoers to navigate the fair. Halls 10.2 and 11.2 will feature electrical systems and connectivity technologies, industrial robotic technologies, pneumatic systems and components as well as ICPs and industrial software. Hall 13.2 will house advanced sensors, machine vision technologies, industrial IoT and smart logistics solutions. Lastly, Hall 12.2 will feature various events and conference areas.
