The floor at ICH Shenzhen is arranged by production step: connectors and the terminals, housings and contacts that go inside them; the crimping, stripping and welding equipment that assembles a harness; the wire and cable that feed it; and the ties, ducts and sleeves that route and fix the finished article.

Demand comes from the industries that consume harnesses in volume: consumer electronics and appliances, automotive and rail, medical devices, solar and storage, aerospace, telecommunications, semiconductors, lighting, industrial automation and power distribution. Each sets its own requirements on current rating, transmission speed and reliability, and those requirements carry back into the processing equipment on show.
