In recent years, with the advancement of science and technology, the instrumentation industry has seen an unprecedented development trend. Experts believe that the development of instrumentation industry presents four major trends.

First, the high-tech product will become the mainstream of instrumentation technology and industry development in the future

In the past 20 years, in the world, microelectronics, computer technology, precision machinery technology, sealing technology, special processing technology, integration technology, film High-tech technologies such as technology, network technology, nanotechnology, laser technology, superconducting technology, and biotechnology have developed rapidly. They have also raised higher, newer and more requirements for the instrumentation industry, such as requiring more product response speed. Faster, more sensitive, better stability, detection of micro-loss or even lossless, remote sensing telemetry remote control distance is farther, more convenient to use, lower cost, no pollution, etc., but also provides a powerful development for instrumentation technology and industry Promote and become the material, knowledge and technical basis for the further development of instrumentation.

In the past ten years, including nano-scale research results of compact precision machinery, modern chemical research results at the molecular level, biological research results at the genetic level, new types A large number of modern and latest scientific and technological achievements, including the research results of sensor technology and intelligent technology, as well as the research results of high-precision and ultra-performance special functional materials and the promotion and application of global network technology, have brought about fundamental changes in the field of instrumentation. These achievements have not only become the soil, foundation, support and power for the survival and development of modern instrumentation technology and its industry, but also rapidly changing the working principle and essential characteristics of instrumentation, and enabling it to possess and possess traditional instruments. Numerous, new, and super-high-level functions that cannot be involved and realized at all. It can be said that modern instrumentation products have become the most typical high-tech products. At present, it has not only completely broken through the traditional framework of light, machine and electricity, but has developed rapidly in the direction of computerization, networking, intelligence and multi-functionality, and due to the extensive use of high-tech science and technology research results, interdisciplinary Comprehensive design, sophisticated manufacturing technology and rigorous scientific application are moving towards higher speed, more sensitive, more reliable and simpler access to all aspects of information analyzed, detected and controlled.

The above analysis shows that high-tech is not only the main feature of modern instrumentation, but also the only way to revitalize the instrumentation industry, and also the instrumentation technology of the new century. The mainstream of its industry development.

Second, with the advent of fieldbus technology, the development of process measurement and control instrument has experienced a major turning point and a rare opportunity

Fieldbus technology has become a hot topic in global automation technology. The fieldbus is an open, all-digital, two-way, multi-station communication system between the field intelligent instrumentation and the control room. The emergence of fieldbus, for the upgrading of instrumentation, product upgrades, and to achieve further high precision, high performance (especially multi-parameter online real-time measurement and control and automatic measurement and control), high stability, high reliability, high adaptability, and more The function, low consumption, etc. provide great power and development space.

Third, the further expansion of the application field has injected new vitality and motivation for the sustainable development of the instrumentation industry

Today, instrumentation has been widely used and is being analyzed from chemical composition, physical quantity measurement, mechanical measurement, astronomical geography, industrial production. Traditional application fields such as process automation control and product quality measurement and control have been further expanded to non-traditional applications such as biomedicine, bioengineering, and ecological environment. At the same time, with the development of high-tech technologies and industries such as polymer chemistry, molecular biology, life sciences, clinical medicine, pharmacy, materials science, environmental monitoring and control in the new century, the application fields of instrumentation will be more rapid. expand. The advancement of modern science and technology has made the application field of instrumentation more and more extensive and deeper. All of this has undoubtedly provided a powerful driving force for the further development of instrumentation and demonstrated the bright future.

Fourth, the overall development trend of instrumentation products is "six highs and one long" and "twenty"

In the future, traditional instrumentation will remain toward high performance, high precision, high sensitivity, high stability, high feasibility, high environment and long life." The development of the six high and one long. New instrumentation and components will be miniaturized (miniature), integrated, complete, electronic, digital, multi-functional, intelligent, computerized, integrated automation, optical and mechanical integration, specialized in service , simple, family, personal, non-maintenance, and assembly production automation, dust-free (or ultra-clean), specialization, scale and other "twenty" direction. In this "twenty", the dominant, core or key role is miniaturization, intelligence and networking.
