In recent years, the development of intelligent measurement and control instruments has been particularly rapid. A variety of intelligent measurement and control instruments have appeared in the domestic market. For example, intelligent throttling flow meters that can automatically perform differential pressure compensation, intelligent multi-stage temperature controllers that can perform program temperature control, can achieve digital pid and various Intelligent regulators with complex control laws, and intelligent chromatographs capable of analyzing and processing various spectra.

There are three major development trends for smart instrumentation in the future.

One is miniaturization. Miniature intelligent instrument refers to the integrated application of microelectronic technology, micromechanical technology, and information technology in the production of the instrument, so that the instrument becomes a small and fully functional intelligent instrument. It can complete signal acquisition, linearization processing, digital signal processing, control signal output, amplification, interface with other instruments, interaction with people and other functions. With the continuous development of microelectronic machinery technology, micro-smart instruments continue to mature and their prices continue to decrease, so their application areas will continue to expand. It not only has the functions of traditional instruments, but also plays a unique role in automation technology, aerospace, military, biotechnology, and medical fields. For example, it is currently necessary to measure several different parameters of a patient at the same time, and to control certain parameters. Usually, several tubes are inserted into the patient’s body, which increases the chance of infection of the patient. The miniature intelligent instrument can measure multiple parameters at the same time. , And small size, can be implanted in the human body, so that these problems can be solved.

The second is that multi-functionality is a feature of intelligent instrumentation, and therefore it is also a major trend in the future development of the intelligent instrumentation industry.

The third is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is a brand-new field of computer applications. The further development of intelligent instruments will include a certain amount of artificial intelligence, which replaces part of human brain work. The application of artificial intelligence in modern instruments and meters enables us not only to solve a type of problem that is difficult to solve with traditional methods, but also to solve problems that cannot be solved with traditional methods.

According to the “2013-2017 China Networked Intelligent Instruments Market Analysis and Investment Strategy Research Report” released by Shangpu Consulting, smart instruments will be more widely used with the development of related technologies such as application-specific integrated circuits and personal instruments. . As the core component of smart instruments, single-chip computer technology is the driving force for the development of smart instruments in the direction of miniaturization, multi-function, and more flexibility. It can be expected that intelligent instruments with various functions will be widely used in various fields of society in the near future.

My country’s instrumentation industry has developed rapidly, and China’s instrumentation industry has gradually occupied most of the domestic market and entered a period of prosperity. An analyst from Shangpu Consulting’s electronics industry pointed out: In recent years, my country’s instrumentation industry has developed rapidly. With the development, market competition has intensified, and it has entered a relatively saturated stage.
China’s high-end instrumentation market is heavily dependent on imports: on the one hand, the domestic market is becoming saturated; on the other hand, because the overall technical level of the industry is not strong compared with foreign developed countries, the domestic instrumentation industry lacks scientific and technological content and lacks innovation capabilities. The reliability and stability of the automation system is far from that of foreign products, which has caused many imported high-end measuring instruments to rely on imports for 100%.
According to statistics, the value of advanced instruments and equipment imported from abroad is nearly 600 billion yuan every year, of which the total amount of high-end scientific instruments and medical equipment is about 100 billion yuan, with an annual growth rate of about 30%. This has further triggered the overall overcapacity of the instrumentation industry and huge profits. micro.
In the context of relatively saturated markets and fierce competition, instrumentation companies should take measures to improve their industry competitiveness. First, enterprises should step up their adjustments to production methods, formulate strict production standards, improve the current chaotic pattern, and create a good market environment; second, enterprises should take the road of innovation, learn advanced foreign technologies, strengthen technical support, and shorten the cost as soon as possible. The gap between foreign high-end products is competing for the domestic high-end market; third, attention should be paid to talents, high-end technical talents should be introduced, and the leading role of high-end talents should be used to improve the technology research and development level of the whole industry.
