ICMIMT

Mechanical and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies, the core pillar of advanced industrialization, are undergoing a profound paradigm shift from isolated automation to fully autonomous, human-centric, sustainable industrial ecosystems. Driven by industrial large models, digital twin, human-robot collaboration, industrial IoT and low-carbon policies, the sector is moving beyond pilot Industry 4.0 projects toward systematic, scalable Industry 5.0 deployment in 2026. Global manufacturers prioritize production resilience, flexible mass customization, full-lifecycle digital management and carbon neutrality, reshaping machinery design, processing equipment, factory operation and industrial supply chains comprehensively.

The 18th International Conference on Mechanical and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies (ICMIMT) will be held on May 13-15, 2027 in Cape Town, South Africa. The conference is co-sponsored by India International Congress on Computational Intelligence (IICCI), hosted by the University of Cape Town (South Africa), with patrons from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University (South Africa), University of Johannesburg (South Africa), Tshwane University of Technology (South Africa), and other institutions.

The primary objective of ICMIMT 2027 is to provide a platform for researchers, engineers, academicians, and industrial professionals from all over the world to present their research results and development activities in Mechanical and Intelligent Manufacturing Technologies. This conference offers a unique opportunity for delegates to exchange new ideas and experiences, establish business or research relationships, and find global partners for future collaboration.
