ARE Dongguan 2026 — Smart Manufacturing and Automation in Southern China

ARE Dongguan 2026 will bring together over 30,000 professionals and decision-makers from sectors such as 3C electronics, machinery and electromechanics, automotive manufacturing, hardware and mold making, metal processing, metallurgy, energy and electric power, rubber and plastic, packaging, food production, and pharmaceuticals. With a dedicated focus on application-driven solutions, the event provides a direct link between supply and demand for automation technologies. The format emphasizes real-world use cases and industrial efficiency — making the show a must-attend for engineers, production managers, integrators, plant operators, and industrial buyers seeking end-to-end smart manufacturing solutions. Live demonstrations, turnkey procurement zones, matchmaking sessions, and technology forums ensure a high return on participation for both exhibitors and attendees.

The show covers the complete chain of intelligent manufacturing and equipment. Featured themes include industrial robots, cobots, automated production lines, non-standard equipment customization, machine vision, industrial sensors, 3D printing, AGVs/AMRs, CNC systems, servo drives, robotic arms, smart grippers, laser equipment, factory logistics solutions, and predictive maintenance systems. Key technologies such as artificial intelligence, real-time motion control, edge computing, and integrated industrial software (SCADA/MES) will also be on display. Visitors will explore how digital twin simulation, IoT-enabled data exchange, and automation interoperability are shaping the next generation of factories. The event is especially relevant for businesses aiming to upgrade from semi-automated to fully digitalized operations. Whether you're building a new production line or retrofitting existing infrastructure, ARE offers practical solutions and a complete ecosystem for Industry 4.0.

Exhibitors at ARE Dongguan 2026 include international and domestic leaders in industrial automation, such as Yaskawa, KUKA, FANUC, Estun, Siasun, Han’s Laser, HIK Robot, Omron, Inovance, Keyence, and many more. System integrators, automation distributors, 3D printing providers, and AI startups will also participate, showcasing integrated smart factory solutions. Delegations from manufacturing clusters across the Greater Bay Area and Southeast Asia will attend to scout new partners, update production systems, and explore co-development opportunities. Also present will be equipment OEMs, engineers, procurement specialists, and research institutions. With dedicated buyer zones and B2B programs, the event promotes cross-border cooperation, supply chain optimization, and rapid sourcing. ARE Dongguan is also a launchpad for new industrial brands, product demonstrations, and distributor recruitment.
