Enterprises to break international monopoly
Sensors as a variety of machine perception components, equivalent to human senses, so that the original rigid objects become more intelligent, not only for cars, mobile phones, monitoring, Internet fields, but also extended to the field of national defense, its importance comparable to chips.
However, such important components are currently mainly imported. According to Guo Meng, secretary general of the Sensitive Components and Sensors Branch of the China Electronic Components Industry Association, there are more than 3,000 domestic sensor manufacturers and research institutions, but 80% to 90% of high-end sensor chips are still dependent on imports. Fortunately, in recent years, the industry has paid more and more attention to sensors, the industry is developing very fast, the domestic sensor industry growth rate has reached 20% to 30%, and low-end sensors can achieve research and development, production.
The development of any industry cannot be separated from the unremitting struggle of every enterprise. Shandong Dongrun Instrument Technology Co., Ltd. is a company in Laishan District, mainly engaged in the research and development, production and sales of water environment monitoring and analysis instruments and physical (liquid) level instruments, sensor is one of its main business. “The position of our company is to be an expert in testing water.” “If the water quality can meet the needs of domestic life, industry and national defense, it must be accurately tested, which requires very advanced sensors.” Ma is the chairman of Donggrun instrument said in an interview that in the process of research and development, it is indeed facing the “jam neck” problem of imported sensor key devices, but Donggrun did not admit defeat, in order to break the monopoly of imported products on the Chinese market, Donggrun independently developed a variety of water quality sensors, the quality is not inferior to foreign products.
The holding of the 2023 Sensor Industry conference provided an opportunity for Dongrun Instrument and many industry enterprises to communicate with each other and learn from each other. “By participating in this conference, we understand each other’s pain points and difficulties, master the direction of industry development, more conducive to the development of future goals, for our domestic enterprises to break through the technical bottleneck, catch up with the world’s advanced level has laid a solid foundation.” We are very confident about the future of our domestic sensor industry.” Ma Zheng said.
Strong foundation to win the development opportunities
As a grand event of the domestic sensor industry, the “Sensor Industry Conference” was held in Laishan District for the first time this year. “Choosing to hold this conference in Laishan District, we see that Laishan District has a strong industrial base and attaches importance to the sensor industry.” Guo Meng said.
In recent years, with the rapid development of the Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence, the importance of sensors as sensing front-end devices has become more prominent, and the application market has shown explosive growth, and the sensor industry is ushering in a rare historical development opportunity. Laishan focuses on the field of electronic information and artificial intelligence, Orange Cloud, Jierui Digital, East Weston, durable watches and other enterprises focus on the digital economy, industrial Internet continue to make efforts, is accelerating the construction of high-end, knowledge, radiation in one of the industrial gathering place. Electronic information and artificial intelligence is not only the leading industry in Laishan District, but also the direction of key attraction and development. In recent years, by increasing the efforts to attract, it has further promoted the development of industrial agglomeration and continued to promote the industrial chain group to become bigger and stronger.
Guo Meng said that in the development of the sensor industry, Laishan has Donggrun Instrument, Jinzheng environmental protection and other enterprises, the government has created an excellent business environment, and attaches great importance to the development of the industry. Taking this conference as an opportunity, I believe that the sensor industry in Laishan District will develop better and better in the future, attracting upstream and downstream sensor enterprises at home and abroad to settle down, and the prospect is promising.
Policy, market, environment, platform, Laishan District has both, sensor industry development prospects are very broad. At the meeting, the relevant person in charge of the People’s Government of Laishan District issued an invitation to domestic and foreign sensor industry enterprises and institutions, welcome to visit and exchange in Laishan District, and jointly write the “Laishan story” of openness, cooperation, innovation and win-win.
