On May 23, the 5th Intelligent Manufacturing Summit was grandly held in Shanghai. Centered around the theme “Intelligent Manufacturing Going Global, Domestic Demand Advancing in Parallel,” the summit brought together over 20 leading enterprises from sectors including industrial robotics, intelligent warehousing, and humanoid robotics. Industry experts and guests engaged in in-depth discussions on cutting-edge topics such as smart manufacturing upgrades, innovative applications in intelligent warehousing, and embodied intelligence. These dialogues aimed to explore both the opportunities and challenges facing the industry, and to chart a new blueprint for its future development. As a benchmark enterprise in the field of industrial vision, Vizum not only unveiled a groundbreaking new product at the summit, but also earned a major award in recognition of its outstanding technological strength.
At the Pinnacle of Vision: CEO Dr. Dong Unveils a New Era of Welding
Dr. Dong began by systematically outlining the core advantages of Vizum’s industrial 3D cameras. In terms of measurement precision, the camera delivers millimeter-level accuracy, meeting the demanding requirements of various industrial inspection scenarios. Its innovative image processing algorithms enable ultra-high frame rate acquisition, ensuring precise capture of moving objects. To address the challenges of complex industrial environments, the camera is specially designed with multiple anti-interference capabilities—effectively handling strong light, reflective, absorptive, and arc light conditions. It also features professional-grade arc light resistance, maintaining exceptional performance even in high-intensity operations such as welding.
The camera adopts a large depth-of-field optical system combined with a wide-angle, large field-of-view lens, allowing it to cover a broader working area in a single capture and significantly enhance inspection efficiency. The integrated strengths of these technologies enable Vizum’s industrial 3D cameras to adapt to a wide range of demanding industrial applications.
Vizum has also independently developed “MH Platform,” an intelligent 3D vision welding application platform that offers customers an all-in-one smart welding system solution. The platform innovatively integrates weld seam extraction, guidance, and quality inspection, and comes equipped with automated hand-eye calibration. The newly upgraded Tiger 2.0 version further enhances system performance with advanced features such as 3D weld seam editing, multi-view image fusion, and intelligent adjustment of welding torch posture. It also achieves seamless integration with welding process databases.
The highlight of the presentation was the global debut of the ViEye PLUS. This next-generation 3D camera, purpose-built for intelligent welding, directly addresses three major industry pain points: it introduces the industry’s first dynamic molten pool tracking technology for real-time monitoring of the welding process; it is equipped with an AI-powered weld seam recognition algorithm that dramatically improves recognition accuracy; and it supports complex 3D path planning, significantly boosting the success rate of identifying inflection points.
“Vizum is on the verge of breaking through the boundaries of L2 intelligent welding systems,” Dr. Dong noted. “‘ViEye PLUS’ will drive smart welding technology into a new era of higher-level autonomy.”
In closing, Dr. Dong emphasized that Vizum delivers more than just products—it is committed to building a complete intelligent welding ecosystem. Through user-friendly solutions, a customizable SDK toolkit, and comprehensive end-to-end technical support, Vizum enables system integrators to significantly reduce development time and labor costs, achieving a true win-win in both efficiency and quality.
Breaking Barriers and Shaping the Future: New Opportunities for Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing to Go Global
At the roundtable forum titled “Breaking Through Tariff Barriers: New Opportunities for Chinese Robots to Go Global and Tap into Domestic Demand”, Dr. Dong engaged in a compelling dialogue with fellow industry leaders. The participating experts unanimously agreed that in the face of shifting international trade dynamics, technological innovation is the key to breaking through external constraints. Emerging markets in Southeast Asia and Central and Eastern Europe are becoming new blue oceans, while the rapid growth of domestic industries such as new energy vehicles and photovoltaics is also creating vast opportunities for intelligent manufacturing enterprises within China.
Well-Deserved Recognition: Vizum Wins the “Craftsman Cup” Award
At the grand finale of the summit, the prestigious 2025 “Craftsman Cup” Awards were officially announced. Vizum stood out among numerous contenders with its revolutionary intelligent vision system, earning the “Outstanding Brand in Industrial Robot Application Equipment” award. This industry recognition highlights Vizum’s strong technical foundation and continuous innovation in the field of industrial vision, while also underscoring the remarkable achievements of Chinese intelligent manufacturing enterprises in breaking through core technological barriers.
Vision for the Future: Empowering Smart Manufacturing Through Vision Technology
Amid the rising tide of intelligent manufacturing, Vizum is charting a bold new future for smart welding through the power of innovation. What this summit has showcased is not only a breakthrough in technology, but also a firm step forward in the upward journey of Chinese intelligent manufacturing.
As industrial vision technology deeply integrates with intelligent welding, this convergence signifies more than just a leap in craftsmanship—it marks a transformative shift toward the intelligent evolution of the entire manufacturing sector.
Vizum is committed to working hand in hand with industry peers, driving continuous technological advancement through innovation, and fostering an open, collaborative ecosystem. Together, we aim to write a new chapter in the story of China’s intelligent manufacturing.
