Development requirements of instrumentation

In 2006, the State Council issued a plan to revitalize the equipment manufacturing industry. During the 11th Five-Year Plan period, the domestic enterprise equipment manufacturing industry continuously updated world records in terms of 'heavy', 'large', 'long', and 'thick' aspects. For large-scale equipment in many industries, For example, large-scale oilfield equipment, large-scale construction machinery, large-scale metallurgical equipment, large-scale chemical equipment, etc. all have high manufacturing capabilities, but the manufacturing capacity of domestic high-end complete sets of specialized control systems or optimization systems is almost zero.

Compared with aviation, rail transit and marine engineering equipment, the positioning of high-end smart equipment manufacturing as stated in the documents of the State Council is "basis support." Recently, a “12th Five-Year Development Roadmap” for the “Intelligent Manufacturing Equipment Industry” drafted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s Equipment Industry Division was announced.

According to the content of this roadmap, intelligent manufacturing equipment is the collective name for various types of manufacturing equipment with sensing, decision-making, and executive functions. During the “12th Five-Year Plan” period, it will break through nine key intelligent basic common technologies and advance eight intelligent measurement and control devices. The R&D and industrialization of components, the upgrading of eight major smart manufacturing equipment integration innovation capabilities and the promotion of demonstration applications in the six key areas of the national economy.

The biggest difference between the documents drafted by this government department and those previously released is that it has completely overturned the “big to small” representation of the previous system, from the equipment system to the tool components. Instruments are placed in front of the document sequence.

For example, among the nine key intelligent basic generic technologies, the top three include “sensing technology with high sensitivity, accuracy, reliability, and adaptability to the environment”, “microkernel operating system”, “implementing unified data formats, and unified "Engineering software platform technology for programming environment" and "Modeling technology based on massive data." The order of the eight core intelligent measurement and control devices and components is also from the sensor to the control system and the instrument to the instrument.

Shao Xinyi, chief editor of the "equipment manufacturing" executive who has long paid attention to the domestic equipment manufacturing industry, said in an interview with a reporter from the "China Sankei Shimbun": "With the State Council's plans for rejuvenating the equipment manufacturing industry in 2006, during the 11th five-year period, domestic enterprises will be equipped. Manufacturing has continuously updated world records in terms of 'heavy', 'large', 'long', and 'thick', and it is also available for large-scale equipment in many industries, such as large-scale oilfield equipment, large-scale construction machinery, large-scale metallurgical equipment, and large-scale chemical equipment. The manufacturing capacity is very high, but the manufacturing capacity of domestic high-end complete control systems or optimization systems is almost zero. Although China has become Asia's largest instrument and meter producer except Japan, it has the strongest comprehensive instrument production in developing countries. China, but the vast majority of domestic instrumentation products are at the international level in the early to middle 1990s. The middle and low-end product varieties are basically complete, can be mass-produced, and have stable quality, but they are high-tech automated instrumentation and systems, and science. Test instruments, sensors, components and other products compete on the domestic instrumentation The industry is basically in a very passive situation.The role of the sensor is similar to human perception, the computer is equivalent to the human brain, and the actuator is equivalent to the human body.If the human's five functions are wrong, the brain can not be correct. Judgment, behavior will be caught in blindness, manifested in the equipment will appear the problem of performance failure.The domestic equipment manufacturing industry also exists as the information industry industry's lack of heart, short-soul, less facet' style, instrumentation is already equipped There are many industries in the manufacturing industry that are heavily imported and have the largest foreign trade deficits."

A report by the Institute of Computer Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the "Information Roadmap for China's Information Technology Development by 2050" provided by the Strategic Research Group of the Chinese Academy of Sciences indicates that "according to the historical experience of the United States, industrial software based on physics has triggered high-tech manufacturing products. The revolution is the competitiveness of high-tech manufacturing products in the United States.As far as the operating system and general software are concerned, China's industrial software technology is still lagging behind.The primary task of developing industrial software is not programming, but mathematical modeling and Algorithm design, construction and promotion of an industrial software product requires approximately 20 or more interdisciplinary teams to focus on their work for 5-10 years to achieve a mature level of productive use."

The report also pointed out that industrial software is a fusion agent of “two chemicals”. China’s industrial informatization aims at the informatization of transforming the manufacturing industry, advancing design and R&D informatization, digitizing production equipment, and intelligentizing the production process and operating management network. In terms of medium and long-term development, industrial software will promote the transition from traditional information technology to integration and intelligence.

However, some insiders in the IT field pointed out that the technology roadmap is sufficient for the "intelligence" of sensing and computing, but the neglect of the information security problem after the network is a defect. The artificial computer virus of the Iranian nuclear power plant in 2010 The incident has shown that in the cyber era, safety production such as power and chemical industries has already faced great challenges.
