Instrumentation towards automation

With the rapid development of e-commerce, the development of China's instrumentation industry also has unprecedented prosperity. According to relevant data, China's instrumentation industry broke through the 500 billion mark for the first time last year, in the case of a weak global economy, instrumentation The future of the industry will develop towards automation and the prospects will be even broader.

The future development of automated instrumentation and control systems should focus on:

1, functional safety. The important development of functional safety in recent years is that a large number of functional safety-certified instruments have been introduced to the market. In order to gain a favorable position in the competition, almost all instrument manufacturers will conduct functional safety research.

2, automated instrumentation and enterprise information. Automation instrumentation technology includes information acquisition, processing, and applications. "Enterprise informatization" is actually the integration and integration of enterprise information. To do this, it is necessary to "simplify", "rule" and "abstract" information with automated and systematic information models in order to make the most effective use of information. This is a basic work in the field of automation instrumentation, and it is also an important means to unify information expression.

3, wireless communication. The rapid development of industrial wireless communication technology is a prominent highlight in the field of automated instrumentation. Its characteristics are: diversification of technical solutions, rapid increase in participants, and establishment of a professional organization. The introduction of a variety of wireless demonstration systems and measurement instrument prototypes will become the focus of major automation instrument exhibitions around the world.

4. Integration of global information and life cycle information of automated instrument engineering projects. This is the full interoperability of an automated instrumentation system. Interoperability is hierarchical, and implementation requires a long process. In recent years, the publication of the IEC62424 standard, the expansion of the InTools tool software functions, and the introduction of interoperable standards for the control system and field instrumentation layer are an important landmark in the development.

5, system maintenance and instrument diagnosis. System maintenance and instrument diagnostics are increasingly concerned by users, manufacturers, and researchers. It is divided into four levels: diagnosis of production processes, diagnosis of production equipment, diagnosis of automated control systems, and diagnosis of field instruments.

With the continuous expansion of market demand, the instrumentation industry that is closely related to people’s lives has also experienced rapid development. However, due to technological and innovation reasons, there is still a huge gap between the domestic instrumentation industry and foreign countries, and the lack of key core technologies. Repeatedly at low levels, the stability and reliability of products cannot be fundamentally solved, and imports are still heavily dependent on high-end precision instruments. A large number of imports have adversely affected the development of the industry.

Internet e-commerce can help domestic instrument and meter companies participate in domestic and international competitions, and have direct dialogue with international markets, helping enterprises to quickly break through technological bottlenecks and achieve technological innovation and upgrading. Utilize this new e-commerce trading tool to broaden the company’s current sales channels, improve the business environment, optimize and activate the entire industry chain, actively integrate into the Internet trading model, use the Internet, and use e-commerce to expand the business. .
