Bad imitation products hinder the healthy development of instrumentation industry

Automation instrumentation is an important auxiliary equipment widely used in various industries of the national economy, and it is also one of the important equipments for enterprises to realize production informatization and automation. The rapid development of China’s economic construction has brought strong demand to the instrument industry. Relevant data show that the growth of automation instrument demand is generally 2 to 2.5 times higher than the GDP of the year. In the past ten years, China's GDP has increased by nearly three times. It is estimated that the automation instrument industry has increased nearly 10 times. At the same time, most of the instrumentation companies are still at the stage of reference and imitation of foreign products, or between domestic counterparts.

As we all know, the rise of China's modern instrumentation industry began with the introduction of foreign technology to imitate innovation, and imitation has greatly promoted the development of China's instrumentation manufacturing industry. Taking the flow meter as the line, most of China's flow technologies are imported from foreign countries to imitate, thus forming a certain scale. This innovative imitation not only broke the monopoly of foreign technology, but also improved the level of instrument manufacturing in China. However, in contrast, a vicious imitation also grows quietly, hurting the healthy growth of the instrumentation industry.

In recent years, China's industrial safety accidents have occurred frequently, and the instrumentation industry, which plays an important role in these fields, has received unprecedented attention. The confidence of users in domestic instrumentation products is still in the training period. Illegal and poor imitation products flood the market. The user’s scene is like burying a time bomb in these areas. It is very likely that ethnic enterprises will suffer a loss. Instruments and meters companies should strengthen self-discipline in the industry. Relevant units and industry associations should pay more attention and improve their alertness.
