October 23, 2025, the "2025 Sino-German Intelligent Manufacturing Technology Innovation Cooperation Summit and Alliance Annual Meeting –PROFINET and IO-Link Technology Seminar," hosted by the Fieldbus Professional Committee of the China Electromechanical Integration Technology Application Association (PI-China), was held in Chongqing.This conference brought together experts from research institutes, equipment manufacturers, industry users, and industry organizations to discuss the core value of industrial communication in digital transformation and explore paths and opportunities for enterprises to deepen their digital transformation processes.

As a leading enterprise with over a decade of experience in the field of industrial intelligent control, Huamao Auto was invited to attend the conference. Li Yawen, the company's Product Promotion Manager, delivered a speech on the theme of "Multi-Type IO-Link Products & Solutions," systematically sharing with the attendees the core advantages of Huamao Auto's IO-Link products—combining four key characteristics: "flexible adaptation, compact size, ease of operation, and full-scenario coverage," making them a "highly efficient and powerful assistant" for industrial intelligent control scenarios

In her speech, Manager Li analyzed the industrial value of IO-Link technology in light of the actual needs of current intelligent manufacturing upgrades. She pointed out: "With the in-depth advancement of the Industry 4.0 strategy, traditional control systems are facing industry pain points such as lagging data transmission, weak equipment compatibility, and high operation and maintenance costs; while IO-Link technology, as a 'universal USB interface' in the field of industrial automation, is becoming a key solution to solve these pain points due to its flexible interconnection and efficient transmission characteristics."

Currently, Huamao Auto's IO-Link product matrix has achieved full-link technology coverage from "control layer to field layer to execution layer": from core mid-sized controllers, industrial switches, and communication gateways to terminal high-protection IO modules and bus valve islands, the IO-Link series products are the core hub connecting the field layer and the execution layer. This series not only achieves seamless compatibility with all-link products but also builds a complete closed-loop control system—meaning that customers choosing IO-Link are not simply purchasing a single device, but obtaining a complete intelligent control solution that is "plug-and-play and fully adaptable."In practical applications, this solution has helped customers in industries such as automotive manufacturing and electronics processing to shorten the commissioning cycle by an average of 40% and reduce maintenance costs by 30%, which is highly consistent with the theme of this seminar, "IO-Link Connects the Future, Intelligence is Limitless."

During the on-site exchange session, Huamao Auto simultaneously set up a product display area, showcasing multiple IO-Link core products: includingthe industry's smallest M8 slave station(reduced in size by nearly 1/4 compared to traditional slave stations, suitable for compact installation scenarios),the IO-Link valve island adopting the "whole unit delivery" model(with IP65 high protection level and support for 4-level expansion functions), andHuamao Auto's pioneering "star + serial" integrated architecture high-protection IO product(expandable to a maximum of 56 modules, with a total branch length of 780 meters).

This seminar provided Huamao Auto with a valuable platform for technical exchange. Moving forward, the company will steadfastly continue its IO-Link technology research and development, focusing on technological breakthroughs and fully promoting its deep integration with 5G and edge computing to empower and enhance the high-quality upgrading of intelligent manufacturing in industry!
