聚焦未来制造技术：讯通展览、中国机器人产业联盟、德国机械设备制造业联合会、德国机床制造商协会和德国斯图加特展览联合发布大湾区合作计划

April 25, 2022, Shanghai & Frankfurt:

Paper Communication, Messe Stuttgart, China Robotics Industry Alliance (CRIA), VDMA (German Mechanical Engineering Association) and VDW (German Machine Tool Builders’ Association) jointly announce to start working together from 2022 on FuMaTech (Future Manufacturing Technology Exhibition & Conference) and IRACE (International Robotics & Automation Conference and Exhibition) within the existing DMP exhibition in Shenzhen.

2022年4月25日，上海、法兰克福：

讯通展览、德国斯图加特展览、中国机器人产业联盟（CRIA）、德国机械设备制造业联合会（VDMA）和德国机床制造商协会（VDW）共同宣布将从2022年开始共同合作“FuMaTech – 国际未来制造技术展览与会议”（Future Manufacturing Technology Exhibition & Conference）和“IRACE – 国际机器人及自动化会议与展览”(International Robotics & Automation Conference and Exhibition)项目，项目在深圳，并与现有展会：DMP大湾区工业博览会同期举办。

The nature of the cooperation is long-term, with the aim to bring high-end technologies for machine tools, robotics and automation for manufacturing industries together, under the name FuMaTech and IRACE, and incorporated within the very successful DMP exhibition owned by Paper Communication. Through FuMaTech and IRACE, all parties want to establish a business platform where leading technologies & solutions from China and abroad are showcased to Greater Bay Area manufacturing industries. This will be supported by informative conferences on umati (machine communication language) and robotics & automation solutions.

本次合作基于长期共同发展目标，希望通过FuMaTech和IRACE两个展会品牌，将高端机床、机器人和自动化技术进行集中展示，并与现有展会DMP大湾区工业博览会深度结合、优势互补。FuMaTech和IRACE旨在搭建一个商业化平台，在大湾区范围内，向制造业用户展示国内外高端技术和先进解决方案，并提供深入交流的机会。展会同期还将举办以umati（机器通用语言）和机器人及自动化解决方案为主题的多场专业会议。

The Greater Bay Area is a world-class advanced manufacturing and strategic industry cluster, rapidly developing into an international innovation center with worldwide influence. In order to serve the manufacturing industry with the latest developments of smart, digital connected and green manufacturing, the resources of all parties will be combined.

大湾区作为世界级先进制造业和战略产业集群，已经逐渐发展成为具有世界影响力的国际创新中心。为了更好地向大湾区制造业展示最新的智能科技、数字互联、绿色制造研究成果，各个合作方的优势资源将被深入整合。

DMP is established for more than 20 years and each year brings together over 1,600 exhibitors and 130,000 visitors. Therefore, it is only logical to integrate FuMaTech and IRACE within a dedicated hall of DMP where many of the existing visitors and specifically targeted visitors can experience the latest products & solutions.

DMP大湾区工业博览会已经成功举办20余年，每年聚集1600家展商和13万余名观众。将FuMaTech和IRACE整合到DMP的一个特定馆内，并在这里向原有的观众和新的特邀观众展示行业最新的产品和解决方案，这一创新举措将会给观众耳目一新的感受。

FuMaTech & IRACE 2022 will be held in Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center from 9-12 November 2022. Several highlights already announced by organizers:

· Important demonstration of umati (universal machine technology interface based on OPC UA Companion Specification for machine tools and manufacturing) in China will be arranged, visitors will have the chance to deep understand it via online demonstration and related conferences organized.

· Existing brand IRACE will be combined into FuMaTech with a better organizing structure and integrated promotion.

· An official German Pavilion supported by German Ministry of Economic and Climate Action will be organized, together with many leading German manufacturers

· High-quality exhibition area for machine tools, robotics and industrial automation solutions will be combined to provide visitors whole solutions on future manufacturing.

FuMaTech和IRACE 2022将于2022年11月9-12日在深圳国际会展中心举办。主办方介绍了几处亮点：

· umati（通用机械技术接口）线下连接展示将被安排在FuMaTech展会中，观众将有机会通过观看现场机器连接，和参与现场配套论坛，进行深入了解和交流；

· 现有IRACE（国际机器人及自动化会议及展览）将与FuMaTech深度融合，并从中获得更好的组织和宣传；

· 由德国经济能源部支持的德国国家展团将亮相2022年展会，并带来众多德国知名制造品牌；

· 国际机床、机器人和自动化企业将进行联合展示，向观众阐释“未来制造解决方案“

“This unique combination of mutual strengths with the official German national pavilion and UMATI showcase will offer not only our members but all high-quality machine tool manufacturers the best platform in the South of China”, according to Dr. Wilfried Schaefer, executive director of VDW.

“本次展会上，官方德国国家展团和UMATI现场连接展示相结合，将充分利用各方优势为我们的会员企业及其他高端机床制造商提供华南地区最佳的展示平台。”德国机床制造商协会执行总裁Wilfried Schaefer博士介绍到。

Mr. Daniel Yoo, Chief Representative of VDMA Shanghai commented “combining the brands of IRACE and FuMaTech alongside DMP enables the manufacturing industry in Greater Bay Area to see the best products and learn from the latest turn-key solutions”.

德国机械设备制造业联合会上海办事处首席代表Daniel Yoo先生强调“将IRACE、FuMaTech和DMP深度融合，可以让相关最好的产品和最新的关键技术解决方案进行联合展示，为大湾区的制造业提供最优的前沿资讯”。
