A Hub for High-Value Business

The show floor was buzzing with activity, fueled by high-quality engagement and targeted business matchmaking. The curated Invited Guests Program, a cornerstone of the event, proved to be a resounding success. This year, the program brought purposefully selected top-tier buyers from across 10 countries who collectively represented over US$100 million in approved budgets for immediate projects to be fulfilled within the next 12 to 18 months. InfoComm Asia connected these high-value buyers from 10 targeted industries with exhibitors through a multi-faceted approach. Buyers were led on specially designed guided tours of the show floor and engaged in hundreds of productive, one-on-one business matching meetings, as well as networking sessions over the three days.

The positive sentiment was echoed by exhibitors and visitors alike.

“InfoComm Asia is the place to be!” remarked Anand Hariharan, Director, Solutions Engineer from Cisco, “If you are in the AV industry, you must be here, and you cannot afford to miss it.

Boasting full-spectrum industrial capabilities from core technology development to integrated solutions, China’s leading innovator drives the next-generation industrial revolution through a comprehensive industry chain strategy

SHANGHAI, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Shanghai Electric (SEHK: 2727, SSE: 601727) proudly unveiled its first self-developed industrial humanoid robot, “SUYUAN,” during its global debut at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference on July 26 in Shanghai.

With 38 degrees of freedom (DoF) and 275 TOPS of on-device computation power, SUYUAN delivers precise operations and dynamic movements, making it adaptable to a wide range of industrial application scenarios. This launch represents a significant milestone in Shanghai Electric’s humanoid robotics journey, further strengthening its comprehensive value chain for industrial humanoid solutions.

Designed with human-like proportions—standing 167 cm tall and weighing 50 kg—SUYUAN is engineered to navigate complex industrial environments with ease. Its 38-DoF articulation provides exceptional dexterity, enabling both delicate manipulations and expansive motions. Capable of handling up to 10 kg of total cargo and lifting 2 kg objects with a single arm, SUYUAN is perfectly suited for logistics and assembly line tasks, operating efficiently at a movement speed of 5 km/h.

SUYUAN leverages a fusion of LiDAR and binocular vision technologies to achieve self-guided mobility. Its 275-TOPS on-device AI processor powers instant data analysis and LLM integration, allowing natural task interpretation and adaptive object handling.

In pilot tests, SUYUAN autonomously identified, positioned, picked, and relocated mixed-size crates, using advanced computer vision and synchronized joint control, significantly boosting warehouse productivity.

Supercharging the Industrial Revolution: Intelligent Manufacturing Powered by Humanoid Precision

The high-end equipment manufacturing advancements driven by innovation hinge on real-world applications. At WAIC 2025, Shanghai Electric’s “LINGKE” dual-arm robot also wowed the audiences at a skills showcase, tackling complex manufacturing challenges with its high-precision operation, adaptive collaboration, and closed-loop data capabilities.

LINGKE is more than a human labor replacement. It uses bimanual coordination and compliant force control to free workers from repetitive, high-intensity tasks, improving efficiency fivefold. The core competency lies in its Data-Model-Deployment closed-loop technology. With operational data as the starting point, LINGKE creates self-optimizing workflow through data cleansing and annotation, model training, live deployment, and feedback-based optimization, achieving the transition from “passive executors” to “active learners.”

Pioneering Smarter Automation

At WAIC 2025, a joint venture between Shanghai Electric and Johnson Electric debuted with a showcase of revolutionary humanoid robots, key hardware modules, and system integration solutions. The venture introduced rotary joints, linear joints, and dexterous finger joints for next-gen robots, delivering precise, smooth, quiet, and intelligent motion performance.

The joint venture further strengthened its efforts to expand product applications by securing two major partnerships: a first-unit supply agreement with the National and Local Co-Built Humanoid Robotics Innovation Center (Qinglong Project) and a product cooperation memorandum with Fourier Robotics.

With 189 patent applications (including 120 granted) in humanoid robotics, Shanghai Electric is making significant strides in AI-driven industrial innovation. Going forward, Shanghai Electric will expand smart “human-machine” and “inter-machine” collaborative solutions across multifunctional industrial environments. Its comprehensive R&D capabilities—spanning critical components to fully functional robots—are accelerating the development of a world-class AI ecosystem.

BEIJING, July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The second “Taste of China” Global Specialty Green Coffee Bean Competition concluded on Sunday in Shanghai, showcasing the taste preferences of Chinese coffee consumers to the global market.

Hosted by Hongqiao International Coffee Harbor, the two-day event evaluated about 82 premium coffee beans from 16 countries.

Unlike traditional Western or Southeast Asian markets, Chinese consumers have distinct preferences for green coffee beans. Despite a rapid surge in coffee imports in recent years, many overseas producers remain unfamiliar with these domestic tastes.

Since its debut, the competition has received strong support from the embassies and consulates of major coffee-producing countries in Shanghai, along with their respective specialty coffee associations.

This year’s event featured coffee beans from renowned coffee-growing regions such as Brazil, Ethiopia, Colombia, and Vietnam, emerging regions including Thailand, El Salvador, Ecuador, and Burundi, and China’s key producing areas like Yunnan and Hainan.

The judging panel included R&D and training heads from top coffee chains such as Luckin Coffee, Starbucks, and Cotti Coffee, national champions of brewing and cupping competitions, and coffee enthusiasts from across the country.

The result of the competition reflects Chinese consumer taste trends, providing valuable data for producers and roasters to better align with domestic market demands.

For the first time, the top ten coffees were auctioned both online and offline, attracting interest from roasters, café owners, and coffee enthusiasts.

In addition, the top 30 winning coffees are set to embark on a nationwide cupping tour across major cities in China. The final “Most Popular Coffee Award” will be announced after the tour, based on public feedback.

Hongqiao International Coffee Harbor, the competition organizer, currently partners with over 200 international coffee enterprises, sourcing products from 60 countries and generating over 3 billion yuan in annual trade.
