Entering the thoughtfully arranged exhibit, four star products took center stage, each drawing the gaze of the audience. Leading the lineup was the AI Intelligent Nesting System (ITS3-3012), which uses cutting-edge algorithms and precise layout capabilities to usher in a new era of leather processing. Following closely was the Intelligent Genuine Leather Digital Cutting System (KC1630TT-RT-3P), showcasing superior cutting precision and efficiency, exemplifying modern industrial aesthetics with a motto of “Precision and Efficiency.” The Smart Industrial Bee MAX (VC9-3010TT-2SCCD), with its unique branding of “Making Industry Sweeter,” seamlessly combined automation and user-friendliness, adding a touch of warmth to leather production. Meanwhile, the AI Vision-Scan Digital Cutting Machine (VC9-1670T/N-4SCCD), equipped with advanced AI vision technology, made a significant leap forward in intelligent cutting processes, becoming one of the brightest stars of the exhibition.

In addition, the booth presented the IoT Bridge Digital Management System, acting as the smart hub of the manufacturing process. It enabled real-time monitoring, comprehensive TPM maintenance management, and equipment status tracking. IoT Bridge broke down traditional data silos, creating a seamless flow of information while making production management more efficient and effortless. This smart-driven environment offered users a streamlined and worry-free manufacturing experience.

2. Success in Sight: Impressive On-Site Contract Signings

GBOS’s booth not only attracted domestic visitors but also garnered international interest.

One such example was a delegation from Iran, who expressed strong interest in GBOS’s products and services. After in-depth discussions, both parties swiftly reached a cooperation agreement, resulting in the successful on-site signing of multiple VC9-1660T units. This model, the sibling of the showcased VC9-1670T/N-4SCCD, specializes in the cutting and perforation of multi-layer footwear materials. By leveraging CAD software, it provides a more digitized and efficient production solution, significantly enhancing the precision and efficiency of footwear material processing.

This order from Iran not only highlights the high level of recognition for GBOS’s products and technology but also marks a key milestone in the company’s continued global expansion. Through such international collaborations, GBOS has reaffirmed its competitiveness and influence in the global leather and footwear industries.
