Insight into the latest trends in instrumentation

The coexistence of crisis reveals new trends in instrumentation

In the first half of the year, in order to ensure that the “ Eleventh Five-Year ” energy saving target was perfected, the state increased energy conservation and consumption reduction, changed the equipment policies for some industries, and reduced high energy consumption such as thermal power, steel, cement, and petrochemicals. Investment in the industry, and the implementation of an iron fist policy to eliminate backward production capacity. In the second half of the year, energy conservation and emission reduction will be an important task for the country. Elimination of outdated production capacity will be more stringent, and the application of instrumentation in these traditional high-energy-consuming industries will be reduced. .

Along with energy saving and consumption reduction, low-carbon economy, civilian production, strategic emerging industries, adjustment of structure and transformation have become the country's long-term national policy, led the wind power, nuclear power, Internet of things, smart grid , high-speed rail and rail transit and a number of new industries High-speed development. The development of these industries not only brings new opportunities and markets for instrumentation, but also puts forward higher requirements.

For example, in terms of rail transport demand in the first half, the national railway investment of 271.374 billion yuan, accounting for only annual task of 823.5 billion yuan investment plan of 33%. This shows that the second half of this year, the construction of the railway will invest 552.13 billion yuan, an average To complete more than 92 billion yuan per month, this will drive the demand for instrumentation.

In terms of energy saving and environmental protection demand, the total value of China's environmental protection industry will reach 880 billion yuan this year, accounting for approximately 3.4% of the annual GDP of the same period, and the output value of environmental protection equipment will reach 120 billion yuan, accounting for 13.6% . "Environmental protection equipment encouraged by the current state ( products ) The catalog clearly defined the coal-fired power plant denitrification equipment, industrial furnace flue gas desulphurization equipment, and electric bag composite dust removal equipment into the encouraged area, and added a group of equipment with independent intellectual property rights and high technological content as the focus of encouraging development. If the enterprise technological transformation project uses domestically-made equipment in the catalogue, it will enjoy the preferential policy of investment credit for corporate income tax ; the depreciation policy will be applied to the domestic equipment in the enterprise use catalogue.

As the nation’s concern for people’s livelihood has greatly increased, some needs related to the people’s livelihood have also been mentioned on the agenda. For example, the demand for instruments and meters related to food safety, drug safety, accident detection, environmental and climate monitoring, etc. It also presents new challenges for instruments and meters. In Xinjiang alone, 10 million yuan is invested each year to ensure the construction of a food safety system.

Low-carbon economy and instrumentation industry are closely related to the leading role, and its development will inevitably lead to increased demand for instruments and meters. According to the research group of the State Council Development Research Center “ key industries adjustment and upgrading ” , the output value of the new energy industry is expected to reach in the next three years. 400 billion yuan ; in 2015 the output value of the environmental protection industry can reach 2 trillion yuan ; the scale of the information network and application market can reach at least several trillion yuan ; digital TV terminals and services can bring nearly 2 trillion yuan in output value in the next six years.

Demand drives instrumentation transformation and upgrade

Li Dong, deputy director of the Department of Equipment, said that at present the major technological equipment independent innovation, we must not only grasp major equipment, but also focus on key components, components , large-scale castings and forgings, etc., we must focus on the long-term, both main and auxiliary, collaborative development, and completely solve Restrict the bottleneck problem of the development of major technical equipment.

Instruments are important for ensuring product quality and standardizing production. Problems in one part of the production process can cause major disasters if not detected. Although the total output value of the instrumentation industry only accounts for 4% of the total industrial output value, it does The impact of the national economy reached 66% . Instruments and meters are so important, but China's instrumentation industry is still in a relatively weak overall stage, far from meeting market diversification requirements, which leads to despise domestic instruments and believes that the phenomenon of foreign instruments exists.

      Experts pointed out that the current instrumentation industry is small in scale, and the total output value of the measurement control and instrumentation industry is low. Not only is the absolute amount small, but the proportion in the economic aggregate is also very small. The vast majority of enterprises in the instrumentation industry are small and medium-sized enterprises. the whole industry has 1887 enterprises above designated size, annual sales of more than 15 less than 10 billion, the lack of strong comprehensive strength "flagship" enterprise. Moreover, since the low-cost expansion of the road leading to take the abnormal development of the industry, severely affected the instrumentation Industry development.

We are experiencing changes in the industrial structure through technological innovation and a new path of industrialization with Chinese characteristics. The progress of science and technology and the development of emerging industries have constantly put forward higher and newer requirements for instrumentation. The instrumentation industry must start from now. Develop the most advanced modern instrumentation, constantly use new working principles and adopt new materials and new components to develop new instruments.

For example, automated instrumentation focuses on the development of main control system devices and intelligent instrumentation based on fieldbus technology, special and dedicated automation instruments ; comprehensively expands the service area, promotes the digitization, intelligence, and networking of instrumentation systems, and completes automation instrumentation from analog technologies. The transformation of digital technology.

Aim at the future to occupy the highest point of the " heart "

With the development of national economy and high-tech industries, modern instrumentation technology has become China's strategic needs, especially China's deep space exploration, deep sea and deep earth exploration, manned space, large aircraft, aircraft carrier, nuclear power, high-speed railway, large-scale petrochemical As well as the development of national major projects such as medical and health care and the people’s livelihood of the country, more pressing requirements are placed on the development of modern instrumentation technology.

Looking back at the development of instrumentation in the past 10 years, it is not difficult to see that with the rapid development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of automation, the instrumentation industry is undergoing new changes and new developments — with computers and microprocessors. The technology is the core technology, with computer, network, system, communication, image display, automatic control theory as a common key technical foundation, which promotes the upgrading of instrumentation products to intelligent instrumentation, and develops into a large product group in the information industry.

Looking forward to the next 10 years, a higher degree of intelligence should include a series of functions such as understanding, reasoning, judgment and analysis. It is a combination of numerical, logical, and knowledge analysis results. The sign of intelligence is the expression and application of knowledge. Learn new effects and high technologies and their achievements Develop new high sensitivity, high stability, strong anti-interference ability sensor technology and test instrumentation. With sensor technology, system integration technology, intelligent control technology, human-machine interface technology, virtual With the further introduction and penetration of technology and reliability technology, instrumentation products will quickly move toward intelligence, miniaturization, networking and virtualization.

Due to the full recognition of the urgency and development trend of future instrumentation, the country has formulated the strategic objective of instrumentation development: In the next 10 to 15 years, fully utilize China's rapid economic development and huge market advantages, and vigorously promote new technologies and new processes. Application research in instrumentation, mastering various key technologies such as design of instruments and meters, production processes, etc., has reduced the gap between the overall level of China's instrumentation industry and the international level to 3 to 5 years, and about 30% of the products have reached the international advanced level in the same period. The supporting capacity of domestic instruments and meters in large projects has reached more than 85% , and they have occupied more than 75% of the domestic market demand. Therefore, it is hoped that the " builders " of instrumentation will grasp the development opportunities and jointly welcome the spring of Chinese instrumentation !
