Where does China’s speed translate into reliable industrial performance?

Robotics, AI and intelligent manufacturing are often regarded as separate markets. In Chengdu, we examine them as one system: hardware, software, data, factory operations, applications and scaling.

Robotics×Industrial AI×Manufacturing×Cooperation

Three systems, one industrial decision

In Chengdu, robotics, industrial AI and intelligent manufacturing are examined as an interdependent system rather than three separate technology themes.

  1. Robotics hardware

    Sensing, actuation, control, integration capability and real machine performance.

  2. Industrial AI

    Data foundations, models, edge integration, quality inspection and operational decision support.

  3. Intelligent manufacturing

    Process design, material flow, automation and scalable factory operations.

Decision questions

  • Which technology is robust under production conditions?
  • Where do measurable gains in quality, cost or lead time emerge?
  • Which capability can support a concrete cooperation with German companies?

Three days from the ecosystem to a cooperation decision.

The itinerary is a curated framework. Companies, experts and application sites are finalised according to participant profiles, availability and the decisions being explored.

Day 1

Robotics as a value creation system

How do components, system integration and applications work together?

Morning

Industry briefing

Market structure, technology approaches, supply chains and participants’ priority questions.

Afternoon

The robotics ecosystem on site

Curated insights into industrial robotics, innovation infrastructure, and mobile and embodied systems—with a focus on maturity and production readiness.

Day 2

AI & industrial software

Where do data and software deliver measurable industrial performance?

Morning

Industrial AI Reality Checks

Reality checks on industrial cloud, digital twins and data-driven production control.

Afternoon

Software meets applications

Discussions on generative AI, industrial software models, robotics operating systems and Embedded AI—always centred on specific applications.

Day 3

Scaling & cooperation

Which technology is scalable—and what role can a German partner play?

Morning

Intelligent manufacturing

Observation of intelligent manufacturing in applications related to energy and logistics, including automation and material flow.

Afternoon

Closing workshop

Structure findings, prioritise cooperation hypotheses and define further discussions or pilot assessments.

Preparation, interpretation and follow-up are part of the service.

The value comes from asking the right question before the visit and taking the right next step afterwards, rather than transport between companies.

1

Before the visit

Needs assessment, participant profiles, decision questions and a bilingual industry briefing.

2

On site

A curated programme, technical interpretation, discussion moderation and ongoing contextualisation of observations.

3

After the visit

Prioritised follow-ups, local support for implementation and a tailored monthly Executive Briefing on industry developments relevant to you.

Define What You Need to Examine Before Choosing a Route

Tell us about the task, current situation and decision you need to make. We use this to assess the thematic fit and discuss relevant technical exchanges and site conditions.

Discuss My Application

Inclusion in this series does not imply a partnership or endorsement. Companies and meeting partners for any itinerary require separate confirmation.

Your China radar—beyond the journey.

You receive a tailored monthly Executive Briefing. We track the industry developments that matter to you and support you locally in turning contacts into concrete cooperation and projects.
