On October 19, the first phase of the 140th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) came to a successful close at the Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou. Over five days, Plutools' booth, 20.1G40-41 in Area D, remained busy with visitors, from initial introductions on opening day to follow-up discussions and cooperation commitments on the final day.
For Plutools, this five-day international exhibition marked a major milestone in the company's exhibition history, bringing new opportunities to connect with global customers and advance cooperation in the mobile robotics industry.
Five Days in Numbers: A Look Back at Canton Fair 2026
As the exhibition concludes, here are some key figures that capture Plutools' experience at the 140th Canton Fair.
Over 1,000 visitors welcomed in five days.
Buyers, system integrators, and equipment manufacturers from five continents visited our booth in Area D, 20.1G40-41. They explored our drive wheels, integrated servo drive wheels, servo drives, low-voltage servo motors, and AGV mobility solutions, engaging in discussions about their specific application requirements.
Nearly 40 prospective customers entered in-depth cooperation discussions.
These conversations went beyond initial introductions. Many focused on specific vehicle platforms and projects, covering product selection, technical specifications, and delivery schedules. Several discussions have progressed to the solution-planning stage, laying the groundwork for future cooperation.
Multiple customers scheduled factory visits after the exhibition.
The end of the exhibition marks the beginning of the next stage of cooperation. Several customers have arranged to visit our manufacturing facility in Nantong, Jiangsu, to learn more about our production processes, manufacturing capabilities, and quality management systems firsthand.
Vertical Drive Wheels and Integrated Servo Drive Wheels Take Center Stage
At this year's Canton Fair, Plutools showcased its core products, led by vertical drive wheels and the PLT Series integrated servo drive wheels.
With their compact structure and flexible steering capabilities, our vertical drive wheels attracted considerable interest from customers in warehousing and material handling. Meanwhile, the integrated servo drive wheels stood out for their high level of integration and ease of installation, offering a practical modular solution for mobile robot manufacturers.
Throughout the five-day event, our technical team held detailed discussions with customers from Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, South America, and other markets. Topics ranged from chassis compatibility and gear ratios to communication protocols and ingress protection ratings.
Behind every technical discussion was a clear market demand: global manufacturers are increasingly looking for reliable, well-integrated core components for AGVs and AMRs.
Our Third Canton Fair-and Our Best Results Yet
This was Plutools' third appearance at the Canton Fair and, to date, our most successful participation.
From our initial introduction at the first exhibition to growing customer engagement at the second, and now the strong visitor interest and deeper project discussions at this year's event, our journey reflects the continued development of our products, brand, and international market presence.
We are seeing firsthand how Chinese manufacturing is becoming an increasingly important part of the global industrial supply chain. More overseas customers are exploring Chinese alternatives to established European brands, bringing technical drawings to our booth, discussing project requirements in detail, and arranging factory visits.
These interactions reflect the growing competitiveness of China's mobile robotics component industry-not simply in terms of cost, but also in engineering capabilities, product integration, and manufacturing support.
For Plutools, every meaningful conversation is an opportunity to understand customer needs better and develop solutions that deliver practical value.
Looking Ahead: Chinese Manufacturing Takes a Greater Role in the Future of Smart Logistics
Looking back on the exhibition, we are even more confident that smart logistics and mobile robotics are entering a new phase of growth. Demand for warehouse automation and intelligent manufacturing continues to expand, while China's industrial supply chain offers increasingly comprehensive capabilities, from core components to integrated vehicle solutions.
For Plutools, the five days at the Canton Fair were just a window into a much larger journey. Beyond the exhibition hall, our work continues across production lines, ongoing customer projects, and new technical solutions being developed with our partners.
As Shanghai Plutools Automation Co., Ltd., with our manufacturing facility in Nantong, Jiangsu, we are committed to providing reliable motion solutions for AGVs, AMRs, and industrial automation applications. We look forward to working with partners worldwide to bring more efficient, reliable, and intelligent motion control technologies to factories and warehouses around the globe.
The 140th Canton Fair has come to a successful close, but Plutools' global journey is only getting started.
Next Stop: CeMAT ASIA 2026 in Shanghai
Our next exhibition is already on the calendar. From November 3 to 6, 2026, Plutools will exhibit at CeMAT ASIA 2026, the Asian International Logistics Technology and Transportation Systems Exhibition, at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.
We will showcase our drive wheels, PLT Series integrated servo drive wheels, and other core products, connecting with more industry partners and exploring new opportunities in smart logistics and mobile robotics.
