The gap between China's instrumentation products and imported products

Experts participating in the survey introduced that instrumentation belongs to the high-tech industry, and China's industrial development depends on the advantage of low labor costs, and this advantage is difficult to play in the instrumentation industry.

They believe that there are several reasons for the gap between China's instrumentation products and foreign countries. The operating mechanism of China's enterprises still cannot fully meet the requirements of the development of the market economy. In the process of development, a number of key enterprises invested by the state are faced with a grim situation of product aging and the loss of technicians. After restructuring, although there is improvement in production and operations, the capacity for scientific and technological innovation is still not enough; a group of mechanisms are innovating and operating. Flexible private enterprises are gradually becoming new bright spots. However, the vast majority of companies are small and medium-sized enterprises. They are small in size, and most of them have not yet mastered advanced core technologies. They have few innovation results and cannot compete with foreign large companies.

China's scientific research institutions involved in measurement and control technology and related instruments have many scientific research achievements, but their practicality is poor. The depth and intensity of research on related manufacturing and manufacturing technologies, especially core technology, are insufficient. The amount of work for secondary development is large, and the conversion rate of results is low. High and mid-range instrument products and systems involve application technologies with a certain depth in different fields. Foreign companies have specialized departments and have experienced application talents. China’s instrument and meter companies are often unfamiliar with large-scale engineering processes and lack the integration capabilities of application technologies. . Therefore, it is difficult to produce high-end products.

Second, there is a lack of a strong national research support system. The instrumentation industry has many varieties and small batches, and it requires long-term, unremitting investment. However, at present, the country’s investment channels are scattered and it is difficult to focus on the focus. Businesses can neither compete in accordance with the rules of market economy like foreign companies, but also lack strategic investment in research resources. At the same time, the market environment needed for the marketization of new technologies has not yet been perfected.

Experts said that “because the institutional mechanisms are not straightened out, naturally the instrument and meter industry in our country lacks high-level composite talents, and lacks comprehensive talents who are familiar with and master the intercrossing of various disciplines. Instrumental science and technology not only involve a wide range of disciplines, but also only People who can discover, utilize and integrate various new scientific and technological achievements such as new principles, new concepts, new technologies, new materials, and new technologies as soon as possible can design and manufacture world-class measurement and control and instrumentation products. The development of the industry is undoubtedly an important reason for the gap between domestic instrumentation and imported products.
