On September 19, the 2018 (17th) International Chemical Industry Fair opened at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Li Shousheng, President of China Petroleum and Chemical Industry Federation, and Fan Xiaosen, Deputy General Manager of ChemChina, attended the exhibition and visited ChemChina’s booth.
The core products and business of ChemChina’s three major business sections, including materials science, life science, and environmental science, were displayed at the Fair. At the same time, the exhibition area of the digital chemical industry displayed the ChemChina Cloud Platform, digital agriculture, digital tires, and digital equipment. Syngenta, the world's largest plant protection company under ChemChina, made its debut in ChemChina’s display area.
Modern industrial development relies on new ideas and development models to create a smart chemical industry. ChemChina Cloud Platform, built and run by ChemChina's e-commerce subsidiary, is data-based and service-oriented, and centering on resource integration and sharing. It is a national comprehensive e-commerce platform in the chemical industry capable of providing “one-stop whole-process trading services.” In the past two years since the launch of the Cloud Platform, it has provided chemical trading services to tens of thousands of customers, with the cumulative trading volume exceeding 12 million tons.
In the exhibition area of digital tires, smart digital tires are introduced. In the field of high-end tires, Pirelli has worked to make the digital transformation, develop the core concept of asset interconnection, big data and analysis, and digitization-driven culture. Pirelli brought coated tires with cool colors to this exhibition. Aeolus Tyre has striven to combine the tire industry with smart information sensors, achieved dynamic wheel position management, established a data collection system for remote tire pressure and pattern temperature so as to help users analyze tire usage habits and provide tire selection and service solutions.
In the field of digital agriculture, a series of smart agricultural programs launched by Syngenta and ADAMA at home and abroad were displayed. By forecasting the weather, analyzing soil information, monitoring crops with sensors, and utilizing “swarm” robots, people could grasp that digital solutions lead smart agriculture. The development of digital equipment is guided by the “Plastics 4.0” strategy. KraussMaffei has united domestic enterprises to bring new production changes to customers.
Three major business sections. In the life science section, people could taste Syngenta's latest varieties of corn and tomatoes. While satisfying the taste, people could see Syngenta’s broadest product line in the industry, the industry’s most innovative and productive R&D strength, and the green growth plan for the sustainable development of agriculture. In the materials science section, fascinating solid tree for materials shows the high performance of new materials such as aramid fiber, silicone materials, organic fluorine materials, PBT resin, and carbon fiber. By creating a dynamic environment for water treatment by means of sound, light, and electricity in the environmental science section, people can experience ChemChina’s water treatment and seawater desalination capabilities, so as to promote the development of eco-environmental industry and the ecological concept of green hills and clear waters.
At the exhibition site, visitors from China, Central Asia, Europe, and other places stopped at ChemChina’s exhibition area to take photos and make consultation, expressing full recognition and appreciation for the innovation and intelligence displayed by ChemChina.
