Do not let the fast-food culture devour the \"craftsmanship spirit\" of those who work with instruments and equipment”

Thread Content

Since the Premier of the State Council mentioned the \"spirit of craftsmanship\" in his work report in 2016, this term has been included among the \"top ten new terms\". Today, the rapidly growing fast-food culture seems to have pushed the \"spirit of craftsmanship\" into obscurity. Recently, \"watching dramas at double speed\" has become a hot topic that media platforms are eager to discuss. Some people point out that the practice of watching dramas at double speed is caused by young people having limited free time, facing high work pressure, and the fact that most TV dramas are dull and lengthy. At the same time, this phenomenon also reflects the impatience and lack of patience that are common among people in China today. http://www.levelmeter.cn/uploads/image/20180924/1537774979.jpg Here, we can use the quality of TV dramas as a starting point to discuss in detail the importance of instrument quality for corporate development. First, setting aside the fast pace of modern life and the limited free time people have, let’s pose this question: why do some TV dramas have inaccurate plotlines and an unnecessarily long runtime? The answer is simple: to shorten the production cycle and increase the show’s exposure and ratings. In other words, it’s about saving time costs and striving to make money. However, the quality of TV dramas produced under such circumstances is not high, so naturally there won’t be many viewers willing to watch them. In contrast, in the instrumentation industry, from research and development, design to production and testing, every stage requires instrument makers to exhibit a meticulous \"craftsman spirit\". It is understandable for an instrumentation company to aim to recover quickly the funds invested at the beginning of its establishment by accelerating the production of instruments and increasing their output. But it should be understood that whether instrument companies can secure long-term, stable customers and profits ultimately depends on the quality of their products. Moreover, product quality can often serve as a \"foot in the door,\" helping instrument manufacturers to introduce their products into broader markets. At the same time, when the goal is to increase a company’s revenue and promote its development by reducing the time costs associated with production using machinery, those in charge of such machinery should also consider whether their own production capabilities are strong enough Is the production technology mature enough? Is there sufficient production experience? In the craft of instrument manufacturing, all three of these points are very important. Secondly, for instrument manufacturers to become stronger and larger, they also need to overcome one thing, namely the long period of time required for research and development. As is well known, a newcomer to the field of instrument work, no matter how thoroughly they have studied theoretical knowledge, will find it difficult to compete with experienced instrument makers who have dedicated decades to this field. Take several currently successful international leading instrument manufacturers as examples – which one of them has not gone through numerous challenges over decades, carrying forward the company’s years of dedication to instrument technology development, and working hard in the field of instruments day after day, year after year? Moreover, through the efforts of generation after generation, the brands of these companies have become synonymous with high product quality and advanced technical standards. It is understood that, overall, China’s instrumentation industry is gradually improving, and its prospects are very promising. However, due to the late start of the domestic instrumentation industry and a shortage of talent in this field, there are still issues such as a lack of core technologies, low innovation rates in instrumentation products, and difficulties in improving the stability and reliability of these products. At this time, it is particularly important to integrate the \"spirit of craftsmanship\" into the instrumentation industry. When every professional in the instrumentation industry is able to base themselves on the current development status of this sector, carry out research and production work with dedication, and strive continuously for innovation in instrumentation technologies, the day when \"Made in China\" becomes renowned around the world will surely not be far off. Perhaps, if you are new to the instrumentation industry, you may feel lost facing such a seemingly endless journey ahead. But what the editor wants to say is that, whatever happens, one should focus on the present, adhere to the \"spirit of craftsmanship,\" and make every effort to do well in every task that comes with being an instrument specialist. In ten years, you will surely be better than you are now.
