This page is a short English teaser. The approved news digest is published in Traditional Chinese.

Hong Kong (event 24 Oct 2026): IET Hong Kong and PolyU ISE host Manufacturing Forum “AI: Brace & Embrace” (registration closes 16 Oct). Topics include embodied AI, manufacturing cyber risk, and agentic AI. Funding approval is not guaranteed.
Mainland China (21 Sep 2026): Reporting on Hubei Sanning Chemical described an AI-run “unattended” million-ton sulfuric-acid line, with large cuts in manual interventions and claimed safety/efficiency gains.
Worldwide (11 Sep 2026): FANUC announced an AI Welding Agent with Google Gemini Enterprise that reads drawings and generates weld parameters and robot programs; demo mid-September, shipments targeted end-December 2026.
For mid-size traders the practical question is quote speed, spec versions, and explainable lead times — not which robot brand to repeat. A light pilot is enough to start.
