China industry news mengfanjun

Although the Chinese market was hit hard by the COVID-19, it has recovered rapidly. It is expected that China's industrial production and capital investment will increase by more than 5% respectively in 2021, and the consumption of machine tools may achieve a strong growth of 10%. "Germany is the second largest supplier in China's machine tool industry after Japan, and its position in the high-tech field. Its technology is widely used in various customer fields in China, such as automobile, aerospace, mechanical engineering, power generation and other broad-based machine tool users." At the 17th China International Machine Tool Exhibition (cimt2021), Shane sun from Germany machine tool manufacturers association (VDW) in Frankfurt explained.

On April 12, at the press conference of cimt2021 of German machine tool manufacturers association, Wilfried Sch, managing director of VDW, Frankfurt? Dr fer said: "due to the impact of the COVID-19, the exit is restricted. German manufacturers will mainly be exhibited by their subsidiaries in China.".

"Finally, we have a real trade exhibition again." Exhibitors and visitors gathered at the booth for face-to-face discussion, which is what many German machine tool manufacturers are looking forward to.

CIMT is a new starting point for umati to enter China

From 2020, the orders of German machine tools from China began to stabilize, and even increased by 17% in the fourth quarter, reaching a double-digit growth rate. In 2021, there are many signs that the global economy will continue to grow. Wilfried Sch? Fer judged that "the development in 2021 will be more encouraging, because we should have already ushered in a turnaround."

China industry news found that VDW has a umati booth at CIMT. It is reported that umati (universal mechanical technology interface) is a community of mechanical engineering industry and its customers, which is used to promote and disseminate the open standardized interface based on OPC UA. The purpose of the CIMT demonstration is to introduce the interface specification between machine tools and higher-level IT systems to the Chinese industry, and to show the convenience of their work. Six companies (also exhibitors of the German Pavilion) have connected their machines. "Unfortunately, the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have prevented more companies from joining our activities." Dr. Alexander broos, director of research and technology at VDW, who is responsible for OPC UA's activities in the machine tool industry, regrets.

In order to make umati fully enter China, the advanced manufacturing technology center (AMTC) of Tongji University is providing support for its technology infrastructure in Beijing. "We are also pleased to connect machines and services with China's machine tool interconnection initiative NC link, which is the continuation of the successful cooperation on emo Hannover in 2019." Alexander broos said.
