New quality productivity moves from the workshop to the exhibition booth, and from technology to orders. Smart exhibits are showcased at the Canton Fair

Open the "Canton Fair" app on your phone, lightly tap your fingertips, and Osama Ali Fay, a purchaser from Saudi Arabia, placed an order for milk tea. In no time, a drone carrying an orange delivery box landed smoothly at the designated location in Zone B of the Canton Fair. Subsequently, a silver grey humanoid robot steadily lifted the drink and delivered it to Osama.

Wow! This is my first time experiencing drone delivery. In such a large exhibition hall, you don't have to rush and queue, you can easily get drinks, saving time and novelty! "Osama exclaimed repeatedly. The new technology experience from a cup of milk tea lit up the first day of the Canton Fair itinerary for this overseas purchaser in a cool way.

On the morning of April 15th, the 139th Canton Fair officially opened in Guangzhou, Guangdong. The scale of this year's Canton Fair has reached a new high, with a total exhibition area of 1.55 million square meters, 75700 booths set up, and over 32000 participating companies gathered, of which about 3900 companies made their debut. The layout of the exhibition area closely follows the trend of "new, green, and intelligent". Nine new special zones have been added, including consumer grade drones, smart wearables, display technology, and agricultural drones. The total number of exhibition zones has increased to 179, accurately matching the upgrading needs of the global industrial chain and achieving full category coverage from traditional manufacturing to advanced manufacturing.

This year's Canton Fair has set up special zones for consumer grade drones and agricultural drones, focusing on technologies such as flight control systems, artificial intelligence obstacle avoidance, and new energy power. It comprehensively presents the technological innovation achievements of China's drone industry and also builds an efficient business platform for domestic and foreign buyers to connect.

Arriving at the consumer grade drone zone, the smooth buzzing of low altitude test flights of drones can be immediately heard in the ears. Various exquisitely designed drones are neatly displayed, and real-time footage of aerial photography, rescue, and other scenes is played on the demonstration screen. Juan, a purchaser from Brazil, sat in the cabin of the Feather Rabbit S100 ultralight aircraft of Hanergy Airlines and carefully inquired about its load capacity, speed, and safety protection. After evaluation, he believes that this product will have a great market space in Brazil.

This is a microcosm of the opening day of the Canton Fair. Through communication and experience, many potential orders were facilitated through interaction. On the opening day, at the launch event of new products, all kinds of intelligent products took turns to "show their skills" and "compete" for buyers' attention: robots that can play play badminton, robots that can intelligently clean the bed surface, bionic quadruped robots

Bang! "In less than a second, a humanoid robot received a shuttlecock flying at high speed and completed a series of actions including observation, judgment, stepping, tapping, and hitting, which drew cheers from the crowd.

After multiple stages of reinforcement learning, this robot has multiple degrees of wrist freedom and can simulate human 'wrist force'. It can complete three types of hitting actions: forehand, backhand, and high suspension, making it a qualified 'hitting tool'! "Said Wang Mengdi, the marketing brand leader of Guangzhou Dongyi Artificial Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd.

The concentrated display of smart exhibits is the highlight of this year's Canton Fair. As the first foreign trade exhibition of the first year of the 15th Five Year Plan, the number of emerging future industry zones at this year's Canton Fair has increased to 18, allowing new quality productivity to move from workshops to exhibition booths and from technology to orders. Among the 4.65 million exhibits on site, new products, green products and independent intellectual property products accounted for 23%, 22% and 25% respectively, and 61% of the exhibitors applied new technologies such as industrial Internet and artificial intelligence.

At this year's Canton Fair, I saw an increasing number of digital and intelligent products that are well integrated into people's daily lives and consumption. The beautiful vision of technology changing lives will become a reality, "said Russian purchaser Pavel. As the "barometer" and "vane" of China's foreign trade, this year's Canton Fair will hold over 600 new product launch events, activating the vitality of the exhibition with "wisdom+scene", and providing more convenient, accurate, and efficient trade services for global merchants.
