Chengdu International Industrial Fair is an industrial equipment and automation show for Western China, held in the Sichuan capital for the manufacturing base that runs across Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang and the cities around them. Six themed sections sit under one roof — industrial automation, robotics, CNC machine tools and metalworking, advanced materials, information technology, and energy-saving and industrial ancillary equipment — and a Sichuan industrial chain pavilion keeps the local supply chain in view.

Its floor follows the automation chain from component to production line: drive systems, control and sensing hardware, machine vision, industrial communications and fluid power; industrial robots and their controllers, reducers and servo motors; machining, forming, cutting and additive manufacturing; new materials and the equipment that makes them; industrial internet platforms, digital-factory software and artificial intelligence; and the pumps, motors, dust and explosion protection and cleaning technology that keep a plant running. Forums, technology exchanges and matchmaking meetings run with the stands, and the organisers market the fair to buyers along the equipment-manufacturing chain in Sichuan, Chongqing and the wider western region.
