Industry supervision exerts force to promote the development of domestic instruments

In recent days, the four departments have made efforts in two major areas of environmental and food safety monitoring. The former issued the "Interpretation of Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Handling Criminal Cases of Environmental Pollution," and the latter initiated "Some Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Handling Criminal Cases Which Endanger Food Safety." Explained, industry sources pointed out that this is a good time for the development of domestic instruments.

At the same time, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued the regulations for the Implementation of the Second Phase Monitoring of New Air Quality Standards. The regions responsible for the implementation of the second phase of the new air quality monitoring task should, according to the requirements, prioritize cost-effective monitoring under the same conditions. Equipment and equipment, according to the requirements of government procurement procurement of domestic equipment. The implementation of urban air quality monitoring, including its equipment bidding, procurement, installation, commissioning and information release, is organized by the provincial (district, city) environmental protection authorities.

The China Environmental Monitoring Center is responsible for formulating corresponding technical requirements and providing technical guidance. In addition, the “Implementation Plan” requires specific implementation arrangements. By the end of July 2013, the provincial (district, city) environmental protection authorities will be responsible for completing the public bidding for the equipment and equipment for all monitoring points in cities in the second phase of the implementation of the new air quality standards.

Before the end of August, the completion of the second phase of the implementation of all bidding sites for equipment monitoring equipment in cities. The "Implementation Plan" also requires that the second phase of implementation of the new urban air quality monitoring data networking equipment should be simultaneously tendered, simultaneously purchased, and installed and operated simultaneously with the monitoring equipment.

The tilt of the policy promotes the development of the industry. China's domestic air testing instruments and equipment: The automatic monitoring equipment for six indicators such as PM2.5, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide will give priority to selecting cost-effective equipment under the same conditions. , Purchasing domestic equipment according to relevant requirements of government procurement. Faced with such a huge market, it will inevitably attract relevant industry players.

Domestic government agencies, research institutes, and instrument manufacturers are all vigorously supporting and investing in R&D, and have begun to enter the high-end market. The capital markets, including equity investments and mergers and acquisitions, are also accelerating. In the face of market-oriented and changes in domestic-funded corporate strategies, foreign-funded enterprises are also vigorously promoting the process of localization.

While the industry is developing rapidly, the industry's competitive landscape is quietly changing. In this fierce market competition, the only certainty is that more and more high-end PM2.5 instruments and equipment will contribute to China's environmental protection.

Research and development of food testing equipment to ensure safety Recently, the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate issued the "Interpretation of Several Issues Concerning the Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases of Food Safety" (hereinafter referred to as "interpretation"). The "Interpretation" clearly defines the conviction and sentencing standards for the crime of producing and selling food that does not meet the safety standards and the crime of producing and selling toxic and harmful foods.

Since the Ministry of Public Security deployed and launched the "Operation against Food Crimes to Safeguard Table Safety" in January this year, public security agencies have detected more than 4,500 food safety crime cases so far, arrested more than 8,200 criminal suspects, and destroyed black factories. There are more than 6,300 "black markets" in the "black dens" workshop. A few days ago, Shanghai announced the first "black list" of food safety: 13 responsible persons and Shanghai Yunchuan Tianyue Restaurant Management Co., Ltd. (the store's famous "Fushu Hotpot") and Shanghai Zhenjiang Sichuan Restaurant. "They are not only subjected to severe administrative or criminal penalties, but they will also face the most stringent industry access.

There are bound to be demands for heavy blows, and domestic food safety testing instruments have also ushered in a good period of development. "At present, the country has strong demand for scientific instruments and favorable policy environment. The domestic equipment industry is facing rare opportunities for development. However, foreign equipment has a long-term monopoly on middle and high-end markets, and there is a large gap between the industry's overall level and the disadvantaged status. The industrial optimization and promotion pressure is huge.

Li Yueguang, vice chairman of the China Instrument and Meter Industry Association, used a professional eye to reveal the current status of the industry. On May 28th, the National Large-scale Testing Instruments and Equipment Innovation Technology Alliance (referred to as the Large-scale Instrument Alliance) was established in Beijing. With the approval of the General Administration of Supervision, the Beijing Inspection and Quarantine Bureau will take the lead, and the alliance will strive to strengthen the functional development and collaborative sharing of large-scale detection equipment of quality inspection systems to ensure the safety of imported and exported food and the quality and safety of products.

The establishment of the alliance aims to integrate key technology innovation requirements of inspection and quarantine technologies, integrate the innovation elements of the whole system, develop the potential of large-scale detection equipment and equipment technologies, and continuously improve technical capabilities, while simultaneously verifying the technical verification of domestic equipment. Comprehensive evaluation work. The alliance will aim to build a large-scale inspection equipment and equipment technology verification center, function development center, innovation demonstration center and results sharing center with international advanced level, and help promote the realization of the "Chinese Dream" of the capacity of the inspection and quarantine laboratory.

The market demand for domestic equipment is met with the problem of technical talents. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, the R&D and production levels of scientific instruments and equipment have been continuously improved, and new products have been automated and informatized, but they have not yet been able to satisfy China's scientific research and economic development. Needs. With the introduction of a large number of high-level international instruments and meters, the number of imports has increased year by year.

This not only has a great impact on the design and development of domestic measurement instruments, components, and production processes, but it is also a great shock to the design theory and manufacturing methods of China's instrumentation. In fact, at present, some domestic instrument manufacturers have already made great efforts to invest in and complete many prototypes of new and innovative technical instruments that achieve performance. The performance, quality, and specifications can even be comparable to international advanced levels, but once they are mass-produced, Quality is greatly reduced.

The reason is that the manufacturer has a backward production process, and there are many problems in converting the R&D results into actual products. On the one hand, there is insufficient investment in R&D. On the other hand, some good technical achievements have no obvious market benefit.

Many instrument manufacturers are faced with the bottleneck of development that is both survival and innovation. In order to survive, they often choose the mode of development that is eager for quick success. In addition to the deficiencies in the conversion of physical products, the development of related subsidiary functions has also been stagnant.

Compared with imported instruments, domestic instruments have another deficiencies in application method development. Domestic instrument manufacturers used to focus only on manufacturing, not on application.

Foreign products are often launched at the same time the application method is also introduced accordingly, with their instruments can be directly applied, no need to explore methods, and domestic instruments in some applications still need to find ways. Obviously, users will choose imported products for convenience.

Therefore, application method development is also one of the important issues facing the development of domestic instruments. In addition, there is a clear gap between China's current number of talents in instrument manufacturing and foreign countries, especially the shortage of high-end talent has become a bottleneck that hinders industrial development.

In fact, there are very few high-end talents in scientific instrument companies, and this gap should exceed 30%. In addition to the shortage of high-end talents, the shortage of comprehensive applied talents and the serious loss of talents, it has also become a problem that China's scientific equipment industry “problem of talents” needs to be solved.
