Introduction: In the era of rapid technological development, the industrial control industry is undergoing profound changes. The deep integration of AI technology, the subtle shifts in market trends, and the innovative initiatives of major enterprises are all injecting new vitality into this industry. Let’s step into this issue of industrial control news and explore the latest developments in the industry.

I. The Deep Integration of AI and Industrial Automation

• The “Dual AI Brains” Usher in a New Era of Industrial Intelligence: During the open session of the Guangdong Delegation at the Third Session of the Fourteenth National People’s Congress, Chen Zhilie, a National People’s Congress deputy and Chairman of the Guangdong Federation of Industry and Commerce, held the RegemMarr R-6000 intelligent code reader. This showcased the charm of the deep collaboration between intelligent manufacturing and AI. AI technology is evolving from simple data analysis to a deeper integration with industrial equipment, enabling smarter production decisions and process control.

• onsemi Launches Advanced Depth Sensors and Intelligent Image Sensing Solutions: onsemi has launched advanced depth sensors for industrial applications, along with intelligent power modules based on silicon carbide, reducing energy consumption and the overall system cost. Meanwhile, its new intelligent image sensing solution was presented at Vision China (Shanghai) 2025, bringing more powerful technical support to the industrial vision field.

II. Market Trends and Industry Analysis

• The Domestic Industrial Control Industry is Expected to Recover: According to a research report by Cinda Securities, the industrial automation market was in a bottoming-out period in 2024. Some traditional downstream industries of industrial control showed signs of recovery, and the localization of high-end manufacturing continued to progress. With the implementation of domestic macro-stimulus policies and the gradually weakening impact of capital expenditures in the lithium battery and photovoltaic industries, the domestic industrial control industry is expected to recover. The performance of domestic industrial control products and the self-sufficiency rate of components are also expected to gradually improve. The capabilities of customization and cost reduction are obvious, and future performance is expected to return to a relatively high growth level.

• New Opportunities under the Reconfiguration of the Global Industrial Chain: 2025 is the final year of the “14th Five-Year Plan” and a crucial node for the in-depth implementation of the “Made in China 2025” strategy. The reconfiguration of the global industrial chain and the rise of “new quality productive forces” have become the twin engines driving new industrialization. Policy dividends continue to be released, and technological breakthroughs in AI, robotics, and other fields are accelerating the transformation of traditional manufacturing industries towards intelligence and greenness. Enterprises need to find their positioning in the wave of intelligence and greenness and seize the opportunities brought by emerging industries, such as humanoid robots, biological manufacturing, and new energy storage.

III. Enterprise Dynamics and Innovative Products

• Mornsun Breaks Through with Innovation: At the 2025 China Automation + Digital Industry Annual Conference, Mr. Yin Xiangyang, Chairman of Guangzhou Mornsun Science & Technology Co., Ltd., pointed out in his keynote speech that power supply technology can continue to make breakthroughs in five dimensions: electromagnetic compatibility, manufacturability, efficiency, cost, and power density. Mornsun’s KD12T series of ultra-large current POL power supplies won the “New Quality Award” for Annual Power Distribution Products, and Chairman Yin Xiangyang was awarded the “New Quality Leading Figure Strategic Award”, demonstrating its leading position and innovative strength in the field of power supply technology.

• Advantech’s Two New Products Win the iF Design Award: Advantech Co., Ltd., a global industrial IoT manufacturer, had two new products, “WISE-IoT Andon Intelligent AI Andon” and “LEO-L50 Outdoor Asset Management”, win the iF Design Award. This reflects Advantech’s innovation capabilities in the integration of software and hardware and provides more innovative solutions for industrial IoT applications.

IV. Focus on Exhibitions

• Vision China (Shanghai) 2025: Huahan Weiye sincerely invites people from all walks of life to attend this exhibition, which showcases the latest technologies and products in the field of machine vision and provides an important platform for industry exchanges and cooperation. As an important part of industrial automation, machine vision has a wide range of applications in quality inspection, logistics sorting, robot guidance, etc. The exhibition will promote the further popularization and development of machine vision technology in the industrial control industry.
