About this fair
CeMAT ASIA 2026 is confirmed for 3–6 November at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre and focuses on intralogistics, material handling, warehouse automation and supply chain. It brings together conveyors, sorting systems, AS/RS, mobile robots, AGV/AMR, forklifts, racking, WMS/WCS software, identification and components. For importers and integrators it is a high-value fair because complete solutions and subsystem suppliers can be assessed in the same visit. A logistics installation should not be purchased on the basis of an isolated demo: it requires real data on throughput, SKUs, peaks, dimensions, layout, redundancy, software, maintenance and safety. Integration engineering and after-sales support are essential parts of the true project cost.
Most in-demand products
Warehouse automation, AS/RS, sorters, conveyors, AGV and AMR, forklifts, racking, WMS/WCS, identification, picking, packaging and intralogistics integration.

Is this trade fair worth visiting?
✓ Yes
Yes, especially if you source E-commerce & Retail, Industrial Machinery, want to compare samples in person or negotiate with several manufacturers in a few days.
— Not necessarily
Probably not if your product belongs to a different sector than E-commerce & Retail, Industrial Machinery, you already have verified suppliers and only need repeat orders, or the potential volume does not justify the trip.
Tips for visitors
Before requesting a quotation, prepare actual order data, lines per hour, SKUs, dimensions, weights, peak volumes, target error rates and layout. Require simulation, acceptance criteria, spare parts, software support and an integration protocol.

Getting around
Shanghai has one of the world's largest metro networks. SNIEC is mainly served via Longyang Road/Huamu Road and NECC via East Xujing/National Exhibition and Convention Center, depending on the entrance. The Maglev links Pudong Airport with Longyang Road in about eight minutes; continue from there by metro or taxi.
On local networks in mainland China, some international services may be restricted or unavailable. If you rely on them for work, prepare a connectivity solution that complies with current rules before travelling and do not depend on a single app. Hong Kong operates under a different internet regime.
