The IAS Industrial Automation Show is an international trade fair for industrial automation technology, which takes place once a year in Shanghai. Since its inception, the event has become the industry barometer of China's automation market. Exhibitors are presenting, beside industrial automation, electrical systems, robotics and IT solutions, primarily in the fields of auto, papermaking, electricity power, rail transport, machine tool, new energy, building materials, metallurgy and mining, where performance enhancement is important and therefore offers the largest potential for automation. A focus that is gaining more and more importance is the issue robotics. Intelligent robots from national and international market leaders conquer the exhibition platform and provide technological boom and innovations in the robotics industry. The IAS Industrial Automation Show will be held in conjunction with the ES Energy Show and MWCS metalworking and CNC Machine Tool Show. Together, the fairs generate a professional audience of more than 120,000 visitors and establish them as an important event in the exhibition landscape of China.
