If there’s one area that’s getting the most support from the top in 2024, it’s new quality productivity. Since last year, new quality productivity has become a high-frequency word in China’s economy.

What is new quality productivity?

From the literal meaning, the new quality productivity is different from the traditional productivity of new productivity, based on scientific and technological innovation of productivity, is rid of the traditional growth path, in line with the requirements of high-quality development of new productivity.

PXIe-6361 The development of new quality productivity has been a consensus from various places to various fields. From the work reports of local governments to the government work reports of the Prime Minister, from the reports of state media and foreign media to the proposals put forward on behalf of the committee members, the term “new quality productivity” frequently appears. In the government work report of the Prime Minister on March 5, it was emphasized to vigorously promote the construction of a modern industrial system, accelerate the development of new quality productivity, and listed it as the first of the ten work tasks in 2024.

In the information age, new technologies such as the Internet, big data, cloud computing and blockchain are booming. Everything is interconnected and intelligent, and human production and life have entered a stage of informatization, intelligence and wisdom.

Entering the new era, a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation form a historic intersection with the accelerated transformation of China’s economic development model. Only by fully, accurately and comprehensively implementing the new development concept and breaking the dependence on traditional factors to drive economic growth can we truly form a new quality of productive forces and find a new path of high-quality development.

PXIe-6361 For China’s manufacturing industry, the formation of new quality productivity is to further stimulate the vitality of technological innovation, continue to invest in scientific research and personnel training, give full play to the value of new talents, and use digital and intelligent technologies and platforms to realize the transformation of the manufacturing industry from traditional manufacturing to intelligent manufacturing and to high-quality sustainable development.

At present, China is changing from a manufacturing power to a manufacturing power, in order to achieve this goal, the level of scientific research is rapidly improving, instrumentation as an important auxiliary equipment, its demand continues to grow. According to incomplete statistics, the investment in fixed assets of scientific research in China accounts for about 60% of the equipment procurement costs, and the investment in scientific research funds accounts for about 25% of the equipment procurement costs.

PXIe-6361

In recent years, domestic high-end instrumentation technology research and product development has achieved results, and some high-end instrumentation has achieved localization. However, due to the relatively weak research and development foundation, relatively insufficient technology accumulation, independent research and development of high-end new products is not strong, key components “hollowing” and other reasons, the problem of high dependence on high-end instrumentation imports has not been effectively resolved, domestic instrumentation research and development and manufacturing compared with the international advanced level there is still a certain gap.

PXIe-6361 High-end instrumentation manufacturing industry is an important part of strategic emerging industries, the development of high-end instrumentation manufacturing industry is to cultivate new quality productivity, accelerate the construction of manufacturing power is an inevitable requirement.

First, we need to increase investment in technological innovation and research and development. Instrumentation industry is a high-tech industry, technological innovation is the key to improve efficiency. The government and enterprises should increase the investment in technological research and development of the instrumentation industry, train and introduce high-level scientific and technological talents, strengthen cooperation with scientific research institutions and universities, and promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into products. At the same time, we should encourage enterprises to strengthen independent innovation, improve independent research and development capabilities, and promote technological progress and industrial upgrading.

Second, strengthen standardization and quality control. Instrumentation is an indispensable tool in industrial production, scientific research and daily life, and the quality requirements of products are very high. Therefore, the establishment of a sound standard system and quality control system is an important means to improve product quality. The government should strengthen the standardization of the instrumentation industry, formulate unified product standards and testing methods, strengthen product quality supervision, and improve the pass rate and stability of products. At the same time, enterprises should also strengthen their own quality management, establish a perfect quality control system, and improve the quality and reliability of products.

Third, we need to promote IT application and intelligence. The development of information technology and artificial intelligence has provided new development opportunities for the instrumentation industry. By promoting information and intelligence, the automation and intelligence of instrumentation equipment can be realized, and the production efficiency and product quality can be improved. The government and enterprises should increase the research and development and application of information technology and artificial intelligence, promote the transformation of the instrumentation industry to intelligent manufacturing, and improve production efficiency and product competitiveness.

In short, the new quality of productivity is a new driving force for economic and social development, but also the key to achieving high-quality development. As an important support for scientific and technological innovation and industrial development, the instrumentation industry needs to accelerate the cultivation and development of new quality productivity to promote the high-quality development of the industry through science and technology.
