Intelligent Instrumentation Needs to Strengthen Innovation

As a major producer of electrical instrumentation and meters, although the export volume of China's instrumentation products has increased year by year, the export area has continued to expand. However, on the whole, there is still a certain distance from the advanced level in foreign countries, which is mainly manifested in: lack of scientific research investment and low capacity for independent innovation; manufacturing technology, material quality, chip core technology, intensification and concentration of production, and installation size standards Other aspects need to be improved.

According to Luo Baihui, chief information officer of Jinmo Industrial Control Network, most of the electrical instrument manufacturers in China currently only pay attention to product R&D and neglect the development of production line technology. Some companies' investment is more inclined to product technology than to production line technology, leading to investment in hardware equipment. insufficient. In this way, the company's automated production level is not high, resulting in product consistency is difficult to guarantee.

Luo Baihui found that the quality of raw materials used in the production of electrical instrumentation products in China is far from the advanced countries. For example, inductive power meter magnetic bearings, damping magnets and so on. The quality of these original devices determines the service life of electrical instrumentation. Its insulation performance, heat resistance and flame retardancy of the housing are the key factors for ensuring the quality of instrumentation.

In addition, China's core technology for electrical instrumentation, which is the lack of independent development capabilities for measurement chips, lacks innovation with independent intellectual property rights, which is also an important factor hindering the development of the instrumentation industry in China.

On how to increase the market share and competitiveness of domestic smart electrical instrumentation, Luo Baihui suggested that domestic instrumentation manufacturers should strengthen technical investment and innovation, and develop and improve production technology based on the introduction, digestion, and absorption of foreign technologies. Production quality, development and production of more integrated chips with independent intellectual property rights, this is an urgent task for electrical instrumentation companies.
