Shanghai Intelligent Building Technology (SIBT), Shanghai Smart Home Technology (SSHT) and the Shanghai Smart Office Technology (SSOT) zone will take place from 29 – 31 August 2023 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

 

SIBT and SSHT will be run under the themes of “Smart connection” and “Smart frontier”, and will aim to promote synergy and cooperation between smart industries and ultimately push the boundaries of what is possible with smart technology. The fairs will integrate different sectors including smart real estate, smart facility management, smart communities, smart hotels and smart campuses, and facilitate a wide range of business opportunities.

 

China’s “14th Five-Year Plan” promotes the use of networked technologies, encouraging the development of smart cities and related infrastructure. For example, the country launched a pilot program in 19 regions to accelerate the use of the next generation of information technology. These include the Internet of Things (IoT), big data and artificial intelligence (AI) for security monitoring, community services and elderly care. To enhance the residential experience, the program also supports the integration of smart home systems that connect with ancillary building facilities, property management services, community information systems and social services.

 

Lucia Wong, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd said: “The building industry is now deeply integrated with the new generation of information technology, connecting all corners of the industry. This can enhance the quality and efficiency of its development as well as achieve green and low-carbon transformation. SIBT and SSHT will therefore continue to provide an open business platform as cross-industry cooperation emerges as a major trend for the future landscape of intelligent buildings.”

 

In line with market development, SIBT and SSHT will create synergies and encourage exchange between smart industries. At the same time, different forums and seminars will be offered to explore industry trends in various sectors such smart communities, smart facility management, intelligent buildings, smart homes and more. Highlights include:

Reading Time: 3 minutes

The 2019 editions of Shanghai Intelligent Building Technology (SIBT) and Shanghai Smart Home Technology (SSHT) will be held from 3 to 5 September at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). Spurred by the fast development of China’s intelligent building, Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) sectors, the two exhibitions are close to capacity as there has been strong demand from exhibitors to participate at the shows.

The concurrently held trade fairs are expected to attract over 280 renowned businesses from China and overseas, and welcome a similar number to last year’s 29,423 professional visitors. The total exhibition space is also expected to reach a record of over 28,750 square metres.

Fairgoers to SIBT and SSHT will not only be treated to the usual array of smart home and building technologies and solutions, but will once again be able to visit the returning Parking China fair, while a debut ‘Shanghai Smart Office Technology’ (SSOT) feature zone will add yet another element to these growing group of exhibitions.

Covering key topics such as IoT, AI, big data, robots, smart offices, smart parking, home security, HVAC, energy conservation, 5G, smart neighbourhoods and smart cities, fairgoers and exhibitors alike can benefit from a one-stop market and purchasing platform which positively bring together multiple different industries.

On the development of SIBT, Ms Lucia Wong, Deputy General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Co Ltd said: “As SIBT welcomes its 13th edition, I must express my sincere gratitude for the unwavering support from the industry. Devoted to demonstrating cutting-edge technology and innovative products, we are looking forward to highlighting new market trends and welcoming fairgoers this September.”

Ms Wong also shared her optimism on the fifth edition of SSHT, stating: “The fairs have grown alongside the market. By exploring advanced technology and top-tier products, we strive to promote the widespread implementation of smart homes.”

In line with recent policies implemented by China, green building and renewable energy initiatives are being promoted in different parts of the country, while intelligent buildings have also become a common sight across cities. China’s IoT capabilities are also developing rapidly which extends to the smart building, smart office and smart parking industries.

As 5G and AI technology continue to improve, smart home is now more than a fictional concept but a lifestyle that is gradually taking over traditional homes. Full smart home implementation are expected to soar in popularity with sensors becoming the epicentre of smart homes. With the rapid development of 5G technology and the enhanced applicability of AIoT and IoT operation systems, the future of home industry will be brimming with exciting possibilities.

With both fairs placing a strong emphasis on ‘AI+IoT’, SIBT and SSHT will work in synergy to bring together IoT and smart building suppliers, encouraging cross-industry cooperation and communication. Over 280 exhibitors from multiple sectors will congregate at the shows including Schneider, Hisense, Ezviz, Ave Leelen, ANJUBAO, Dnake, Legrand China, SUREN, ORVIBO, Baiwei, FANTEM and much more. Selected exhibitors and their innovations include:

  • HDL
    HDL showcases integrated smart control systems, one-stop solutions and equipment. New products on display include the multipurpose S10 touch screen and other smart panels.
