The 2025 Foshan Station came to a successful conclusion, with industry giants looking forward to the new journey in Shanghai. As the last batch of exhibitors left with full cooperation intentions and the lights of Foshan Tanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center slowly dimmed, the three-day 2025 IPFM International Plant Fiber Molding Industry Exhibition officially concluded on November 1. This grand event gathering elites from the global paper-plastic industry not only witnessed the vigorous vitality of the green packaging industry but also laid new expectations for the industry with the warm promise of "See you again in 2026".

I. 2025 Successfully Concluded, Green Exhibition Demonstrates Industrial Strength

As an exclusive international event for the plant fiber molding industry, it settled in Foshan Tanzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center, known as "China's No.1 Industrial Convention and Exhibition Hall". Centering on the three core themes of "intelligent lean manufacturing, innovation of raw and auxiliary materials, and innovative application of products", the exhibition focused on displaying the whole industrial chain achievements such as pulp molding, green packaging, pulping equipment, and recycling technology. It covered diversified process products including dry pressing, wet pressing, semi-dry pressing, as well as ten major application scenarios such as food delivery, electronic home appliances, and medical health.

II. Full-Process Unmanned Production + Intelligent Energy-Carbon Management, Solving the Industry's Dilemma of Cost Reduction and Carbon Emission Reduction

As a leading enterprise in integrated solutions for pulp molding equipment, Guangdong Zhongchuang Intelligent Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. made a stunning appearance with the industry's pioneering "dark factory" solution. It not only attracted buyer groups from more than 40 countries around the world to stop and negotiate with its full-process automation technology but also achieved impressive results of "on-site sales of displayed prototypes and immediate procurement of the sampling line by Huilin Packaging Group". It brought not only a dynamic demonstration model of the dark factory but also displayed multiple core production equipment. One of the prototypes was booked by a customer on the first day of the exhibition, and the customized sampling line was immediately confirmed and purchased by Huilin Packaging Group, a well-known enterprise in the industry, realizing the efficient transformation of "display = transaction".

III. In-Depth Decoding of Dark Factory: Three-Layer Architecture + Eight Major Systems, Reconstructing Production Logic

The core highlight of this exhibition —— Zhongchuang Intelligent's "dark factory" solution is a breakthrough innovation targeting the pain points of the pulp molding industry such as "high labor ratio, high energy consumption, and difficult control of defective product rate". With "full-process automation + data-driven decision-making" as the core, the solution builds a three-layer technical architecture and integrates eight major intelligent systems to realize the unmanned closed-loop production from "raw material warehousing to finished product outbound": 
The top-level decision-making system integrates management systems such as ERP and MES to realize global production capacity scheduling and carbon emission monitoring; 
The intelligent production layer applies technologies such as AI visual quality inspection and ultrasonic low-temperature molding to replace 90% of manual operations; 
The bottom-level execution layer collects data in real-time through IoT sensors, and 5G network synchronously adjusts equipment parameters. 

IV. Dual-Technology Driven: Material Innovation + AI Algorithms, Expanding Industry Boundaries

In addition to automated production, Zhongchuang Intelligent has also achieved breakthroughs in materials and algorithms, injecting new momentum into the pulp molding industry: 
Material end: Bamboo fiber reinforcement technology increases product strength by 40% and reduces costs by 30% compared with wood pulp; Sugarcane bagasse recycling technology creates microwaveable tableware, which has provided green packaging solutions for brands such as Starbucks, reducing carbon emissions by 350,000 tons per year; 
Algorithm end: AI process simulation optimizes packaging structure, reducing material usage by 20%; The predictive maintenance system predicts equipment failures through machine learning, reducing downtime by 60%, and a customer's annual production capacity increased by 32% after application.

V. Looking to the Future: Anchoring the Global Market, Assisting Green Intelligent Manufacturing

With the upgrading of global plastic ban orders and the advancement of China's "dual carbon" strategy, the scale of the pulp molding market continues to expand. Zhongchuang Intelligent stated that in the future, it will take "distributed intelligent manufacturing + circular economy" as the direction, layout low-end production capacity bases in Southeast Asia, focus on high-value-added products such as medical-grade sterile packaging in Europe and the United States, and build a "recycling - regeneration" alliance with catering and e-commerce giants, aiming to achieve a material recycling rate of over 80%. 
At present, Zhongchuang Intelligent has launched the 2026 IPFM exhibition plan and welcomes industry enterprises to visit the factory on-site. In the track of green packaging, this Chinese enterprise has not only provided a practical path of "cost reduction and carbon emission reduction" for the industry but also let the world see the environmental protection strength of Chinese intelligent manufacturing.
