The planning system of "Made in China 2025": the instrument industry meets new challenges

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the "1+X" planning system of Made in China 2025 has been released. "1" in the planning system refers to "Made in China 2025", and "X" refers to five major project implementation guidelines, two special action guidelines and four development planning guidelines.

　　The implementation guidelines for the five major projects include national manufacturing innovation * construction, industrial foundation strengthening, intelligent manufacturing, green manufacturing, and high-end equipment innovation projects. Among them, the intelligent manufacturing engineering focuses on the popularization of digital manufacturing and the demonstration of intelligent manufacturing, promoting the intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry and advancing the industry towards the mid to high end; The high-end equipment innovation project aims to break through the industrial application of a batch of major equipment and provide advanced production tools for upgrading various industries.

　　The release of the planning system is not only a signal to accelerate the promotion of Made in China 2025. For the instrument and meter industry, it is also a booster for accelerating intelligent manufacturing and moving towards high-end.

　　The intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry has become a future development trend, not only guided by policies, but also continuously promoted by the market to upgrade instruments and meters to intelligent transformation. Taking power instruments as an example, with the continuous development of electricity in China, the construction of smart grids and ultra-high voltage has brought severe challenges to the instrument and meter industry, and there is an urgent need for their increasing intelligence. Not only in China, but also worldwide, smart grids have become the necessary path for the development of modern power grid technology. The implementation of smart grids not only involves the intelligence of the transmission process, but also involves the intelligent implementation of a complete set of links in the terminal and intermediate operation of the power grid. To meet the construction of smart grids, power instruments must continuously introduce and absorb technological achievements, and continuously improve their research and development capabilities.
 

　　Since 2011, China's intelligent power instruments have entered a stage of rapid development, with market sales continuously expanding. The average annual compound growth rate in the past three years has reached 29.62%. China's power instruments have initially formed an industrial system with a relatively complete range of product categories and a certain production scale and development capacity. Currently, many enterprises are also focused on the research and development, production, and sales of high-end intelligent power instruments, occupying a considerable proportion in the market. However, some well-known foreign enterprises still hold a certain share in the domestic market, especially in the mid to high end field, relying on their strong financial strength and high brand awareness.

With the development of technology, the advantages of high precision and cutting-edge fields will be amplified, and enterprises that master high-end core technologies will occupy a dominant position in the fierce market. Although China's power instrument enterprises have a large market share, a large number of dispersed small and medium-sized enterprises are at risk in the future technological wave.

Miao Wei, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, once pointed out that: Taking intelligent manufacturing as the starting point and using the Internet to drive the transformation and upgrading of the entire industry has become a top priority. The traditional advantages of China's equipment manufacturing industry are weakening, and the era of rapid growth of 25% per year in the equipment manufacturing industry has come to an end. Currently, it is necessary to use high-end equipment manufacturing, mainly intelligent manufacturing, to drive the transformation and upgrading of the entire industry. In response to this situation, China will accelerate the development of industrial robots, sensors, and intelligence Implement a special project for the development of intelligent manufacturing equipment for key components and devices such as instruments and meters

Taking advantage of the policy trend, Chinese instrument companies should increase their investment in scientific research, strengthen independent research and development of core technologies, improve product quality, and layout high-end manufacturing fields to adapt to the future trend of high automation and intelligence, and welcome more opportunities and challenges.
