2012 instrumentation industry development task prospects

In 2011, China’s entire economic environment was constantly changing, and the development of the instrumentation industry was full of uncertainties. The statistics of Jitongbao show that the output of analytical instruments and meters in the instrumentation industry from January to October increased by 29.56% year-on-year, but the output in the last two months showed a trend of falling month by month, which fell by 10.95 and 6.37 times from August and September respectively. percentage point. The growth rate of the test machine was faster, with a year-on-year increase of 40.66% from January to October. Not only has the growth slowed down in terms of production and sales, but instrumentation has also shown a decline in profits. At the same time, due to the increase in corporate costs, the costs have risen significantly, profit margins have been squeezed out, and instrument and meter companies have difficulties in production and operation. The industry is also facing a tight industrial economic operating environment. The irrationality of the industry structure is serious In recent years, the instrumentation industry has increased the adjustment of the enterprise structure in accordance with the requirements of market economy scale, and enterprises have formed a number of enterprises with strong strength and market competitiveness through joint and merger methods. The Group has significantly increased its production concentration.

However, due to the rapid changes in market demand and the rapid development of technology, instrument and meter companies still have a long way to go to adjust their structures. In particular, China vigorously promotes energy-saving emission reduction and green economy, modern manufacturing, clean energy, large aircrafts, marine engineering, smart grids and other special projects. In the emerging industries such as urban rail transit and the people's livelihood sector, although there are many opportunities for market demand, due to the drastic changes, the task of restructuring the industry is still very arduous.

At present, China's existing automated instruments and systems are still based on analog instruments. There are many general products and high value-added products with high technological content. According to the statistics of the experts of Tong Tong Bao, among the more than 7,000 major varieties, digitalized and intelligent products accounted for only 20.5%. The domestic transmitter level is medium and low grade, small range, less function, and mainly analog and non-intelligent type, the reliability index MTBF is 30,000 hours, while the foreign MTBF is more than 80,000 hours. Actual product reliability of most actuators is 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than in foreign countries. In addition, the accuracy of scientific test instruments is mostly 0.5 to 1 level lower than that of similar foreign products. The reliability index MTBF of most products is within the range of 2000 to 3,000 hours, which is less than half that of similar foreign products. The instrumentation industry presents features such as less application of new technologies, lower level of intelligence, fewer types of application software, and incomplete accessories.

The China Instrument and Meter Industry Association recently released the 12th Five-Year Development Plan for Instruments and Meter Industry. It is clearly stated that in the next five years and the next five years, the entire industry will vigorously promote the restructuring of enterprises and actively cultivate the Yangtze River Delta, Chongqing, and Bohai Rim The three industrial agglomerations constitute 3 to 5 enterprises with over 10 billion yuan in value, and over 100 companies have sales exceeding 1 billion yuan. The development direction of the industry in various fields Although there is an unreasonable phenomenon in the structure of the instrumentation industry, there is no shortage of development highlights in the industry. According to the person in charge of the first price of Treasury, the output value of automated instrumentation in China's instrument industry increased by more than 10% from the average in 2011, and the profit rate of its main business reached 10%. Some high-end products also passed the “export to domestic sales” The method is recognized by domestic customers. Regarding the development direction of the instrumentation industry in various fields in the future, the responsible person also made a brief introduction. Instrumentation has entered the era of networking. In the background of rapid development of the computer and the Internet to the entire world, instrumentation has also begun to advance toward the network, such as instrumentation automation, multiple instrument networking, multi-media, virtual instrumentation and so on.

Combining the latest technology equipment and direct control of instruments and meters through wide area network and local area network, the company's management, business integration and application model analysis, instrument and meter companies can also communicate directly with customers through the network, experts can remotely maintain the instrumentation And analysis. Instrumentation is moving toward intelligence. With the development of microprocessors and artificial intelligence technology, the instrumentation industry is also gradually developing into intelligent, intelligent robotic instrumentation. This intelligent development will achieve rapid development with the digitization of technology and the improvement of the level of intelligence. Instrumentation develops in the micro-direction. In order to make life more convenient, scientists and technicians will develop instruments in a small direction. Just like the development of computers, a small chip can store tens of thousands of commands. This is not only a reduction of the volume, but also increases the accuracy of instrumentation, and the error does not affect the need for production.
