New technologies to assist second CIIE
By Tian
Hong from People's Daily
The second China International Import
Expo (CIIE) is scheduled to kick off soon, and a batch of new technologies,
such as 5G, interpreting machines, and patrol robots are about to join the
event for better experiences of the visitors.
Ø Full coverage of 5G network
5G tried it out at last year’s CIIE,
and this time, the technology will be applied to every aspect of the grand
event.
According to the Shanghai Municipal
Commission of Economy and Informatization, the venue of the second
CIIE - National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), as well as its perimeter,
have all been covered by 5G network. The commission said 4 major 5G scenarios
and 17 projects of 5G application will be built for the event and the
technology will contribute to all aspects of the CIIE.
Ø Interpreting machines to offer translation service in 12 languages
The communication between business
people coming from different parts of the world is a tricky problem. According
to China International Import Expo Bureau, a total of 1,061 appointments for
interpreters have been made by participating merchants this year, up nearly 20
percent from a year ago.
To cope with such a huge demand, the
second CIIE has placed interpreting machines at 83 consulting stations. All the
merchants have to do is to follow the instruction and make a call, and consecutive
interpreting in 12 languages will be available. Volunteers will also guide the
merchants to use the service. It is a guarantee for multilingual consulting,
guidance and business negotiation.
Ø “Jinbao” robots
These big-eyed passionate robots can
not only answer your questions, but also crack a joke. The 20 newly deployed “Jinbao”
robots will definitely become a highlight at the CIIE venue this year. They are
stationed at the four entrances of the venue, VIP lounge, and highly crowded
places, broadcasting information and providing searching service. Besides, they
can also recognize the users and greet them, and answer the latter’s questions
about floor plan, activities, and transportation.
Ø Video meetings
facilitating deals
Deals are the final goals
of the expo. This year, three-day supply-demand matchmaking conferences have
been scheduled. So far, it has attracted thousands of Chinese and foreign
enterprises in all seven exhibition sectors from nearly 90 countries and
regions.
The second CIIE for
the first time introduces self-service terminals to the supply-demand
matchmaking conferences where participating enterprises can check schedules and
desired cooperation partners, and sign deals of intent.
To facilitate those
domestic enterprises that cannot make it to the venue, the organizers of the
second CIIE has specifically built a special zone for remote video meetings. The
video calls will enable the foreign merchants to get in touch and negotiate
with their potential Chinese partners in 8 cities.
