Shanghai Electric Showcases Cutting-Edge Solutions at CIIF 2026

From October 12 to 16, 2026, the China International Industry Fair (CIIF) took place at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai. This year, Shanghai Electric featured 19 integrated solutions aimed at enhancing industrial innovation. Solutions included smart robotics, industrial AI, advanced computational infrastructure, high-capacity gas turbines, and equipment for nuclear power generation.

Showcasing Industrial Innovations

During the opening of CIIF, Shanghai Electric unveiled its integrated components solution for embodied intelligence robotics. This solution encompasses five categories: bearings, mounts, screws, joint modules, and dexterous robotic hands. Each product was designed to seamlessly integrate precise drive components with fully integrated robotic hands suitable for humanoid, industrial, and collaborative robots.

Among the highlighted products were miniature bearings with an internal diameter of just 0.6 mm, corrosion-resistant mounts branded “Xuanwu,” inverted planetary roller screws, and robotic hands featuring 22 degrees of freedom.

AI in Wind Energy and Battery Production

Shanghai Electric's digital solution for wind energy showcased the application of AI across all stages of wind equipment design, manufacturing, operation, and maintenance. Utilizing data-driven processes in a closed-loop manner enhances R&D efficiency, ensures product quality, and optimizes operation and maintenance decisions.

Their integrated solution for the production line of lithium batteries covers the entire battery manufacturing process. This comprehensive offering includes planning and design, implementation of processes, auxiliary infrastructure systems, and environmental condition monitoring, all tailored to meet automation, digitalization, and intelligent production requirements.

Computational Infrastructure and Energy Management

The company also unveiled a computational cabinet designed for data centers that employs two-phase liquid cooling technology. This innovative approach offers precise temperature control at the chip level, exceeding 200 kW of cooling power per cabinet and achieving a fivefold increase in computing density. Additionally, it allows for the upgrade of existing data centers, linking to IoT platforms to reduce energy consumption and implement predictive maintenance.

Shanghai Electric's energy management and control system, based on cloud-edge collaboration architecture, employs AI algorithms to forecast energy generation and load while optimizing the distribution of various energy sources. This system ensures continuous resilience in microgrids, even under extreme operating conditions, confirming the reliability of power supply and flexibility of adjustment.

High-capacity Gas Turbines Solutions

Also showcased at CIIF was a comprehensive smart solution for high-capacity gas turbines, utilizing AI throughout the entire lifecycle – from development to operation and maintenance. This solution covers design simulation, flexible smart production, AI quality control, supply chain coordination, and intelligent operation and maintenance.

Moreover, Shanghai Electric introduced its newly developed gas turbine control system in June 2026 during the Ganlu project by Shenzhen Energy. The systems accommodate gas power solutions operating in simple and combined cycles, ranging from 75 MW to 800 MW. Shanghai Electric also conducted China’s first hydrogen co-firing demonstration in an operational high-capacity gas turbine.

Nuclear Energy Solutions

As a supplier with exceptional capabilities for delivering complete sets of essential nuclear island equipment, Shanghai Electric presented interactive exhibitions illustrating its end-to-end solutions for the nuclear energy value chain. This includes technologies such as Hualong One, Guohe One, high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, and nuclear fusion equipment.

In the field of nuclear fusion, the company has achieved 36 groundbreaking advancements in key manufacturing technologies, built four core manufacturing competencies, and secured 15 patents.

Overall, Shanghai Electric's participation in CIIF 2026 highlighted the company's commitment to driving innovation across various industrial domains while leveraging cutting-edge technology and capitalizing on AI applications to boost efficiency and performance in modern industrial processes.
