electronica Shanghai 2026, the trade fair for the electronics industry in Asia, is set to open from July 1–3, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Covering 120,000 square meters and hosting more than 1,900 exhibitors, the event will serve as a business platform for buyers and decision-makers. The exhibition will present products and services spanning components, systems, applications, and services, with a focus on smart factory deployment.

The event comes as the global manufacturing industry continues its shift toward intelligent systems capable of self-perception, self-diagnosis, and self-optimization. According to the organizers, advanced applications such as digital twins and predictive maintenance depend on the ability to capture production data through continuous monitoring of parameters including vibration, temperature, and stress.

The exhibition will focus on several areas supporting industrial intelligence infrastructure, including sensing technologies, industrial communications, edge computing, and power management.

High-Precision Sensing for Industrial Data Collection

The event will highlight technologies designed to support data acquisition in manufacturing environments. Honeywell will present industrial sensing solutions, including board-mount pressure sensors, digital temperature and humidity sensors, and its MIP series heavy-duty pressure sensors. The MIP series features full-temperature compensation from -40°C to +125°C, accuracy of ±0.15% FSS at room temperature, and a total error band of ±0.75% FSS.

RIGOL will showcase test and measurement technologies, including its DS70000 series high-resolution digital oscilloscopes, offering up to 5 GHz bandwidth and a 20 GSa/s real-time sampling rate. The system supports waveform update rates of up to 1,000,000 wfm/s and variable resolution from 8-bit to 16-bit.

Industrial Communications and Connectivity

Industrial interconnection systems will also be a major focus at the event. Phoenix Contact will present M12 and M8 circular connectors used for industrial Ethernet interfaces. The company’s M12 data connectors support PROFINET, Ethernet, and other industrial bus protocols and are designed for industrial environments requiring high protection ratings.

Molex will feature its Brad industrial Ethernet solutions supporting industrial communication protocols, including PROFINET and EtherNet/IP. The company will also highlight its Ultra-Fit power connector series for high-current transmission in compact industrial equipment.

Edge Computing for Distributed Manufacturing Systems

As manufacturers increasingly deploy distributed intelligence and edge-based decision-making, the event will feature embedded computing technologies designed for industrial applications. Qinheng Microelectronics will showcase its CH32V307 series interconnected microcontrollers based on RISC-V cores. The devices integrate a Gigabit Ethernet MAC controller and 10M-PHY on a single chip, supporting industrial Ethernet connectivity without external network chips. The technology is intended for applications including IIoT data acquisition gateways, edge controllers, and smart sensors.

Power Protection and Industrial Reliability

Power management and circuit protection technologies will also be featured. WeEn will present silicon carbide (SiC) diodes and thyristors used in industrial power supplies and motor drives.

Schurter will showcase its EKO series high-voltage fuse products for industrial and energy applications. The series supports voltage protection up to 1000 VDC and rated currents from 50 A to 1100 A, with a maximum breaking capacity of 50 kA DC and operating temperatures from -40°C to +125°C.

Focus on Smart Factory Infrastructure

According to the event overview, technologies supporting sensing, connectivity, edge computing, and power resilience form the foundation for applications such as digital twins and predictive maintenance.

electronica Shanghai 2026 will bring together suppliers and manufacturers focused on addressing these infrastructure requirements as industrial facilities continue to adopt intelligent manufacturing systems.
