Autoware, headquartered in Shenzhen, has grown into a trailblazer in the realm of industrial automation, fluid loading systems, intelligent metering, and VOCs environmental technologies. The company has carved out a strong presence across Asia, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe, providing advanced solutions in petroleum refining, chemical logistics, energy storage, and smart factory systems. With deep investment in R&D, strategic university collaborations, and a growing global footprint, Autoware is actively shaping the future of intelligent industrial control.

This conference was a strategic milestone in Autoware's global outreach plan. By combining industry best practices with academic breakthroughs, the event laid the groundwork for stronger partnerships, new technology adoption, and shared innovation ecosystems.

The conference commenced with an opening speech by Mr. Cheng Ping, Chairman of Autoware, who spoke on the company's vision of becoming a global enabler of industrial intelligence. He emphasized the critical importance of building ecosystems that integrate automation, environmental stewardship, and digital transformation - not as independent functions, but as a unified strategy for sustainable development.

A government official from Dangyang Municipal Government welcomed attendees, recognizing Autoware's efforts in elevating the region's technological stature and industrial competitiveness. The opening remarks also acknowledged the growing role of smart equipment in advancing China's dual-carbon goals and improving global industrial safety.

Shortly after, a strategic cooperation signing ceremony was held, with representatives from Mütec Instruments GmbH, South China University, and SCUT's industrial research institute. These partnerships aim to accelerate the co-development of new sensor technologies, joint industry research labs, and professional talent training for smart manufacturing.

The morning session featured three impactful presentations by global and national experts:

Sonja Geenen, representing Mütec Instruments GmbH, delivered an insightful keynote titled "Precision Quantitative Intelligent Loading: Innovation and Efficiency in Solid Flow Metering Systems." She introduced Mütec's new series of solid flow meters designed for dusty, high-throughput environments. These devices enable operators to measure, record, and control the flow of solids with exceptional accuracy, even under fluctuating environmental conditions.

Dr. Wang Zhigang, Vice President of the Institute of Industrial Technology at SCUT, followed with a presentation on "Core Technologies and Collaborative Innovation in Lightweight Solid Material Transport and Packaging." He detailed how intelligent control systems can work seamlessly with packaging machinery and transport systems to minimize losses, reduce labor, and boost production flexibility.

Professor Zhang Zhenfeng from the University of South China presented "Airflow Balance and Metering Control in Pneumatic Conveying Systems." His research explored the dynamic relationship between gas flow, solid particles, and real-time feedback control, offering practical methods to enhance system reliability and energy efficiency in large-scale conveying environments.

Afternoon Presentations: Sustainability, Automation, and Future Readiness

In the afternoon, attention turned to environmental protection technologies, integrated automation, and system-wide intelligence:

Eike Frühbrodt of Mütec Instruments GmbH introduced advanced Online Moisture Analysis and Solid Material Detection Systems, which are gaining popularity in food, fertilizer, and mining sectors. These instruments provide operators with live data, enabling quick adjustments and reducing raw material waste significantly.

Gong Jintao, General Manager of Shanghai Zhenyue Technology Co., Ltd., discussed the deployment of Magnetic Drive Pumps and Anti-jamming Flowmeters in highly corrosive and viscous fluid environments. He presented case studies from coal chemical and pharmaceutical industries, where traditional equipment often fails due to clogging and leakage.

Zhou Yang, Process Engineer at Autoware, led a session titled "Smart Driving, Green Future – Autoware's VOCs Environmental Equipment Empowering Industrial Transformation." He demonstrated how Autoware's modular VOCs recovery units are helping clients meet national emission standards while significantly lowering operational costs and carbon footprints.

Guan Jiancheng, Executive Vice President of Autoware, delivered a keynote titled "From Manual to Smart – The Evolution of Autoware's Intelligent Loading and Drumming Solutions." He traced the development from early semi-automatic systems to today's fully automated platforms driven by AI-based flow prediction, machine vision alignment, and IoT-powered remote monitoring.

Factory Tours: Experience the Technology in Action

In the late afternoon, attendees were transported to visit Autoware Smart Energy Technology (Hubei) and Hubei Hongyi Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd., where they explored real-world applications of the technologies discussed.

During the guided tours, guests observed:
