With the advent of big data, where will the gauges go?

Big data is a **major strategy even on a global scale. How can instrumentation achieve industrial upgrading in this trend? 1. Some time ago, I attended a lecture by Teacher Zheng Wei from SIL, who mentioned the collection of domestic instrument reliability data in order to have a basis for evaluating SIL. Big data can help with this, but only if the instruments have access to such connected data. 2. Currently, the instruments are isolated from one another; can the critical and valuable instruments be connected to the network? For example, vortex flow meters, mass flow meters, analytical methods, electromagnetic techniques, ultrasonic sensors, valves, and so on, which are used in areas where measurement is difficult, should be mentioned first. 3. It is difficult to connect individual instruments to the network, but detection data can be transmitted through systems such as DCS, which can indirectly reflect the usage status of the instruments; this approach is easier to implement. The key question is whether the users are willing to do so Who will manage this data? 4. Does the instrument maintenance management staff uploading data involve assessing authenticity? Who will pay for the sponsorship? 5. It’s possible that all the above difficulties are too great; perhaps it would be better to improve the approach to developing industrial measuring instruments: those who manage to create instruments whose performance is close to that of imported ones should be given substantial rewards **A reward fund should be set up and distributed directly to individuals. Whoever is unable to develop it – should we consider reducing the deposit amount, in order to avoid... 6. What if the technical staff know how to make improvements, but costs rise suddenly due to factors such as sales volume, and they don’t receive any support?
