Measuring Instruments, China, Optics_The Market of Optical Image Measuring Instruments in China

China's optical image measuring instrument is currently in the second development opportunity since the founding of New China. The first development opportunity occurred in the 1950s and 1960s. Of the 156 major projects identified in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, 12 were optical image measuring instrument projects, accounting for 7.7% of the total projects, and in just a few years In time, 11 electronic measuring instrument factories and 1 electronic measuring instrument research institute were built, which basically met the needs of the national defense equipment and defense industry for electronic measuring instruments at that time. The emergence of the second development opportunity mainly comes from the development of China's economy. After nearly 30 years of reform and opening up, China's economy has undergone two changes: one is that the industry needs to be upgraded, and the other is that the industry needs to innovate independently. An industry needs electronic measuring instruments to complete the selection of raw materials, monitoring of the production process, product testing, and industry operations. Therefore, electronic measuring instruments shoulder the historical mission of upgrading and independent innovation of other industries. Electronic measuring instrument has a unique related strategic industry. Its own development has a very obvious impact on the development of the entire national economy, especially the development of the electronic information industry. Therefore, independent development of high-end electronic measuring instruments is the right choice for the country and enterprises. . Although my country's electronic measuring instrument industry has made great progress, there is still a big gap compared with foreign manufacturers, which is mainly reflected in the following aspects: 1. The penetration rate of digital electronic measuring instruments has yet to be improved. The 'digital age' has arrived. The 'digital age' is the latest sign of social and economic modernization. It is related to the level of a country's 'core competitiveness' in the field of science and technology. If this is not paid enough attention to, a country will lose its technological leadership. status. 2. There is a big gap in bus technology. VXI, PXI, LXI, USB interface and bus technology have developed to a very high level in electronic measuring instruments. At present, there are three trends that promote the development of the test and measurement industry: First, there must be system-ready hardware, that is, modular products, which can quickly build a system. Second, there must be standards-based input and output interfaces compatible with PCs, as well as input and output drivers, which can be based on a local area network or the Internet. Third, there must be a flexible software solution. Whether the customer needs an Excel interface or a text interface, it can give customers flexible choices. The international LXI (LANeXtensionforInstrument) alliance was created to cater to this change. Foreign companies have developed LXI bus products, and some domestic universities have begun to research. Domestic electronic measuring instruments have not been involved. If it is too late, it will once again widen the gap between my country's electronic measuring instruments and the international technology level. Therefore, my country's electronic measuring instruments Enterprises should start the application of LXI bus technology in electronic measuring instruments as soon as possible. 3. Software technology. There is no software technology for electronic measuring instruments, just like our electronic measuring instruments are still in the era of 'cold weaponIt is not a modern electronic measuring instrument. 4. Modularization. This is the direction of the development of international electronic measuring instruments. In fact, modularity, bus technology and software technology are trinity. It is not a 'mechanical' modularity. Its difficulty is no less than that of bus technology and software technology. In our electronic measurement The instrument company has not yet started well. 5. Integrated technology. Electronic measuring instrument hardware, that is, the integration technology of electronic circuit technology, coaxial device component technology, and waveguide device component technology, is an important core technology in electronic measuring instruments. It forms modernization with bus technology, software technology, and modular technology. The electronic measuring instrument, this is a difficult problem that our electronic measuring instrument company has yet to overcome. China is a big country with broad development space. The electronic measurement technology it needs is all-round and world-class. Since 2000, the world's electronic measurement instruments have made tremendous technological progress. It is expected that the electronic measurement instrument industry will continue to grow in the next few years. Driven strongly by synthetic instruments, SDR (software-defined radio) measurement instruments and multi-field instrument interoperability expansion are the hot spots. In the space where LXI and USB are used as link buses, more technological innovations will be made, and electronic devices and electronics will be actively promoted. The development of the application forms a benign interaction. How big is the Chinese electronic measuring instrument market? In fact, it is a difficult problem to explain. It is bigger than we thought. The domestic electronic measuring instrument market is around 10 billion yuan, and the sales volume is more than 7 million units. The growth rate is all over 20%. It should be said that the demand for electronic measuring instruments is strong. In a comprehensive analysis, the total market of electronic instruments in China is around tens of billions of dollars, which should be among the best in the world. In any case, optical image measuring instrument is a related strategic industry. How to develop an electronic measuring instrument industry that is not scale economies, people’s understanding and actions are not unified, but history will eventually prove that there is no independent core technology of electronic measuring instrument industry, it is difficult Smoothly promote the industrial upgrading of developed countries, the independent innovation of science and technology, and the modernization of national defense equipment. Therefore, the country should support the electronic measuring instrument industry, which has the most obvious related strategic industries.
