Why can we build spaceships and satellites, but not pressure transmitters?

Domestic high-tech: spacecraft, satellites, airplanes, quantum technology, aircraft carriers, high-speed railways, drilling. Those are the products for which efforts are invested in research and development, while transmitters and similar items are manufactured by companies. In order to pursue profits or certain value concepts, these companies allocate little or no resources to research and development, making it difficult for them to compete with high-quality products.

Why **not invest in resources to develop instruments? ? Are instruments not important? ? Planes, satellites, spacecraft, aircraft carriers. . . Aren’t they all about the detection and control of instruments and devices? Moreover, any high-tech technology relies on industrial base materials, and the advancement of such materials depends on high-performance instruments. Why not allocate some of that money for high-tech research and development in industrial instruments? Aren’t they important? ?

The problem is that too little is invested in research, while there is a rush for returns.

You can’t expect everything to be developed by **. Yes, ** can allocate some of its funds for high-tech research and development related to industrial instruments, as well as for other areas, but whatever is developed is the result of choices and trade-offs. Specifically, consider what to choose and what to sacrifice from their perspective. You can’t expect **to do everything; the domestic industry has developed well enough these days, and many products can now replace imported ones. You need to give the domestic industry space and time to develop – this isn’t something that can be achieved overnight. With more support for domestic products, development naturally accelerates.

It should be pressure transducers or differential pressure transmitters used in chemical plants; they are mainly from foreign brands. In the broader field of measurement and control related to hydraulics, pneumatics, etc., domestic brands account for a significant proportion of pressure transducers; some companies even export large quantities of these products, hundreds of thousands per year. There are also many foreign brands, including some well-known ones, that use domestic brands as a cover. :lol.

Is chip design difficult? I think it’s difficult to compete with foreign countries, but our people have independently developed their own set of chips. Instrumentation is the foundation for automation; it is inappropriate for us to refrain from investing in research on it and instead push it onto the market, expecting companies to develop their own solutions to compete. This is, in my opinion, a wrong approach – at least it represents a strategic failure. Now we shout about developing artificial intelligence, but the foundation of AI remains instrumentation. We won’t buy a bunch of instrumentation devices and components from outside, put them together, and then claim that this is artificial intelligence that we have developed on our own. According to our country’s system and the national framework, if efforts are made in good faith, I believe it is always possible to succeed. Therefore, I think the reason for the decline of this industrial instrumentation industry is **lack of attention**. **They don’t take the research and development of instruments and equipment seriously at all; they still think in terms of the feudal mindset, believing that such things are just toys, trivial items that aren’t worth investing effort in developing. This can be seen from the salary status of those working with instruments and meters in my country – such positions are not considered technical roles at all. The attitude one has determines the outcome that will result. Although there are many domestic instruments in use nowadays, only a few of them were developed independently; they are not products resulting from joint ventures. Just like our joint-venture automobile factories, although they are called domestic products, they do not utilize our own technology.

Thank you for your concern, senior! ! ! In the oil refining industry, the refineries owned by China’s three major oil companies account for the vast majority of those in the country; together with most of the local refineries, there are numerous field instruments, especially those of the pressure transducer type, and many of these are made by American or Japanese companies. This is quite displeasing. Moreover, some of these Japanese-made instruments are sold in China, and some domestic experts mistake them for those made by China’s own companies, which is also very annoying.
