In the past two years, the global manufacturing industry has faced many opportunities in the direction of diversification and individuation of customer demand while experiencing slowing economic growth and upward pressure from transformation and upgrading. With the help of the return of advanced manufacturing in the United States, Germany's “Industry 4.0” and especially “Made in China 2025”, China’s manufacturing industry is experiencing an increase in basic capabilities, quality brands and standardization, and more advanced models play a demonstration lead role through intelligent manufacturing projects.

  If we were more concerned about the concepts or the prospects outlined in these hot topics a few years ago, what we can now enjoy is the solution that can turn these concepts into reality. For example, the planning of automatic production lines, the implementation of the layout of digital factories, and the boost of industrial interconnections have made China‘s manufacturing industry move another step toward “smart manufacturing”. Under the background of “Industry 4.0” and “Made in China 2025”, many companies have already begun piloting a new journey of “smart manufacturing”. The upgrading of traditional production lines and the construction of new production lines based on “Industry 4.0” will be an important mean for China’s manufacturing industry to move toward “smart manufacturing”. The turnkey project of the entire production line system will become an urgent need for enterprises.

 On November 2, 2018, Vogel Industrial Media will join hands with Anting Town Government to hold the 2018 sixth International Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing at Shanghai Crowne Plaza Hotel. The forum will focus on the theme of “Turnkey Project of Overall Production Line System” .Speakers include well-known experts and scholars from leading domestic and foreign companies who have rich experience in the plan and implementation  of “Industry 4.0” and turnkey projects for overall production line systems,  representatives of leading manufacturing industry as well as the responsible persons of related industries, etc.. The speech’s topic runs through international advanced equipment manufacturing technology, production solutions and turnkey projects of production line system ranging from design to finished products. The speech covers four major phases of the product life cycle: product design, process design, manufacturing, and maintenance.

This forum will focus on the centralized application fields of smart manufacturing such as automotive, aerospace and electronics. It aims to help Chinese companies solve a series of problems faced in the process of manufacturing, production and upgrading of production lines and seek the solution to respond to transformation and upgrading to move towards "Intelligent Manufacturing".
