About 75,000 items are slated for display. The exhibit will consist of cutting-edge tools, welding and cutting equipment, robotic automation systems, and related solutions.
The exhibition focuses on supporting the domestic tool and welding industries in expanding sales channels and finding new business partners. This takes into account the difficult conditions facing the domestic industry, including global economic uncertainty, rising prices of key raw materials, and supply chain instability.
The organizers plan to present ways to innovate production processes using AI and robotic automation technologies. They also intend to present measures to strengthen manufacturing competitiveness.
The organizers identified AI-based smart manufacturing, welding automation, and high-precision, high-efficiency processing technologies as the exhibition's key themes. With these as its main agenda, the show will showcase related equipment, systems, and management technologies.
Exhibits will include high-precision industrial tools, power tools, and hand tools, as well as smart welding machines and industrial welding robots. Collaborative robot-based automated welding systems, laser welding and cutting machines, electron beam welding systems, and quality monitoring technologies will also be on display.
Technologies to be unveiled will also include automation solutions designed to respond to labor shortages and rising production costs, as well as eco-friendly welding and safety management technologies aimed at improving energy efficiency and working conditions. Centered on cutting-edge tools and smart welding automation technologies, the exhibition will address challenges on manufacturing floors while pursuing higher productivity, lower manufacturing costs, and relief from labor shortages.
Building on its 30-year run, the organizers plan to expand its role as an industrial business platform. Through this, they aim to support small and medium-sized manufacturers in strengthening their technological competitiveness and entering overseas markets.
The event will give participating companies an opportunity to meet face-to-face with domestic and overseas demand companies, exchange technical information, explore new market opportunities, and seek ways to diversify export markets.
With these goals in mind, Moon Byung-yun, executive director of the Korea Tool Industry Cooperative, said the association will push ahead with expanding sales channels and creating tangible business results for the industry, setting a consultation target of USD 550 million and a contract target of USD 95 million.
