Dandong instrumentation industry base innovation and development

Introduction: In the next 10 years, who will be the home of China's instrumentation distribution center? Apart from the “four big families” of the traditional Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, and Hebei, who is the new leader in instrumentation? What role does the Dandong instrumentation industry base play in the wave of "Made in China" to "Created in China"?

From October 18th to October 20th, the 2011 China (Dandong) International Instrument and Meter Expo, which gathered nearly 200 Chinese and foreign manufacturers and more than a thousand kinds of exquisite products, brought together Chinese and foreign eyes. European and American giants such as Siemens, ABB, and GE brought in international frontier technologies and products such as microelectronics and Internet of Things through agents; heavyweight state-owned enterprises such as Jingyi Group, Chuanyi Group, Tianyi Group and Shangqi Miyi displayed the latest products at the exhibition. .

“From the China (Dandong) International Instrument and Meter Expo 2011, we saw Dandong’s ambition to seize the commanding heights of the industry.” Li Jiang, sales manager for Northeastern Chongqing Sichuan Instrument Automation Co., Ltd., said: “China's instrumentation industry is five years ahead of the world’s advanced level.” By the gap of 10 years, whoever is able to take the initiative in a new round of industrial upgrading will be able to handle the ears of Chinese manufacturing in the next 10 years."

It was learned from the Expo that by 2015, the domestic instrumentation industry will reach trillions of scale, which is doubled from 2010. With the launch of the seven strategic emerging industries of the country, such as energy conservation and environmental protection, a new generation of information technology, biology, high-end equipment manufacturing, new energy, new materials, and new energy vehicles, the instrumentation industry has ushered in a new round of high growth. . "Instrumentation is the last short board in China's manufacturing industry." This is the consensus of academicians, experts, and manufacturer representatives. Modern instrumentation technology is widely used in various fields such as national defense, industry, people's livelihood, and medical care, especially deep space exploration, deep sea and deep earth exploration, manned spaceflight, large aircrafts, aircraft carriers, nuclear power, high-speed railways, large-scale petrochemicals, and medical and health care in China. The development of national major projects and the national economy and people's livelihood has put forward more urgent requirements for modern instrumentation technology. “The exhibition is the epitome of the current China instrumentation market, the Three Kingdoms.” The person in charge of the Jingyi Group's exhibition area told reporters that Siemens, ABB and other international The giants are seizing up to seize the Chinese market, especially the current high-end instrumentation almost all rely on imports, domestic manufacturers in the Internet of things, system integration technology and other areas is still blank; Beijing, Sichuan instrument, Tianyi, self-instrument and other "national team" , is closely tracking international advanced technology; and the Dandong instrumentation base companies represented by the emerging forces, the rapid rise. The latter two have begun comprehensive and in-depth cooperation. At the opening ceremony of this year's exhibition, 92 contracted projects were signed, with a total contracted value of 3.7 billion yuan, of which 100 million were foreign capital. A number of representatives from the manufacturers stated that the “herd group effect” brought by the “national team” and Dandong’s joint efforts will be inestimable.

Contrast to many foreign agents at the exhibition, the 34 exhibitors in Dandong, the host, are almost a “Dandong Create” enterprise. “Instrumentation and instrumentation is the integration and crystallization of various high and new technologies in the disciplines of optics, mechanics, electronics, computers, physics, chemistry, biology, etc. It is a typical technology-intensive strategic industry.” Almost every Dandong enterprise booth is not without Proudly display technology and products with independent intellectual property to Chinese and foreign guests. It is no exaggeration to say that in the field of instruments and meters, “Dandong Creation” makes its peers admirable: Dongfa Group has been the largest gas meter manufacturer in China for more than 20 years, and Eastern Measurement and Control has become Asia’s largest nuclear instrument research and development base. , Oron Ray, Huatong Measurement and Control, Baxter Technology, Sikai Electronics and other companies are also the best in the same industry. In the major engineering fields such as the Long March Rocket, Shenzhou Spacecraft, and West-East Gas Pipeline, the non-destructive testing technology provided by Dandong Enterprises plays a “behind the scenes”. The domestic gas meter manufactured by Dandong accounts for 40% of the domestic market share, the industrial X-ray apparatus accounts for 80% of the domestic market share, the nuclear inspection instrument accounts for 90% of the domestic market share, and the intelligent power distribution monitoring instrument, laser particle size analyzer, and IC Card gas meters, IC card meters, IC card water meters and other products occupy the top of the domestic market share. Mine tailings monitoring systems, X-ray real-time imaging, food foreign body detection systems and other new products have great potential.

While filling gaps in the domestic market and replacing imports, Dandong's instrumentation products also entered many developing countries, and conducted technical exchanges and cooperation with the world's top 10 instrumentation giants. There are about 10,000 employees in the instrumentation industry in the city, and more than 40% of engineering and technical personnel have already formed a complete industrial chain composed of professional colleges, research and development centers, and production companies.

The "12th Five-year Development Plan for Instruments and Meter Industry" just released by China Instrument and Meter Industry Association clearly pointed out that in the next five years, the whole industry will vigorously promote the restructuring of enterprises and actively cultivate the three industrial clusters of the Yangtze River Delta, Chongqing, and the Bohai Rim In order to support the establishment of a multi-billion-Yuan group and characteristic enterprises, we will focus on the development of advanced automatic control systems, precision testing equipment, smart instrumentation and new sensors, and establish an industrial system for precision manufacturing, lean management, and modern manufacturing services. Dandong instrumentation industry is also working to solve the industry bottlenecks such as small-scale enterprises, lack of independent research and development capabilities, and low-level competition. “In the past two years, the annual growth rate of Dandong Instruments has almost doubled the industry average.” An exhibitor representative pointed to student volunteers at the Liaoning Institute of Mechanical and Electrical Technology busy inside and outside the exhibition hall. “This is the most precious of Dandong. Human resources wealth."
