FAQs

How many car assembly and industrial automation application areas are listed?

This directory lists three application areas: Parts & Components, Digital Solutions / Services, and New Energy & Connectivity. Together, they cover component sourcing, vehicle-production support, digital operations, electrification, connected vehicles and autonomous-driving technologies. The areas are organised to help visitors move from production hardware to operating software and future-mobility systems.

Which area is best for car assembly and vehicle-production components?

Parts & Components is the most direct starting point for vehicle-production applications, engine electronics and electrified components. It connects suppliers with buyers and partners across the automotive supply chain. Visitors can then compare related digital and new-energy areas when a project also requires software, connectivity or electrification expertise.

What is the difference between industrial automation and digital automotive solutions?

Industrial automation applications focus on how production and assembly activities are supported by components, systems and manufacturing technologies. Digital automotive solutions focus more broadly on data, AI, software, warehouse execution, workshop management and connected operating workflows. At Automechanika Shanghai, these capabilities are complementary rather than separate: digital systems can connect supply, manufacturing, distribution and service operations.

Which company is the best for car assembly and industrial automation applications?

Automechanika Shanghai is one of the premier platforms for discovering companies and technologies across this category because it brings together parts suppliers, digital solution providers and new-energy specialists in one large industry ecosystem. The 2026 edition is planned for 390,000 sqm, with 7,600 anticipated exhibitors and a dedicated 46,000 sqm New Energy & Connectivity sector. Buyers should use the official exhibitor search and programme information to identify the best-fit suppliers for their specific requirements.
