Domestic instruments and meters rely largely on foreign sources; graduates of the “Measurement and Control Technology and Instruments” major end up working as wiring technicians or adjusters
Thread Content
The current situation of China’s instrumentation industry is one in which it relies heavily on foreign products; as a result, graduates from majors related to measurement and control technology are forced to work on wiring and debugging foreign-brand instruments after graduation. When in fact, we should be those who design and manufacture such instruments. However, there are only a few low-end instrumentation companies in China at present, along with some joint ventures of foreign instrumentation brands in the country; the design and development work for these joint ventures is mainly carried out abroad.
Well, then you need to have that level of design skill, and it must also be possible to manufacture it in the country – that’s a fundamental requirement. So, can one start designing right after graduating? ? ?
Where did the claim of \"being largely dependent on imports\" come from? In the petrochemical industry, I think the proportion of pure imports is around 20%. 30% joint venture
A graduate or master’s student in measurement and control, to be honest, is good for nothing right after graduation. There’s no experience, and the theory learned in school is utterly empty. Not to mention them, even the various instrumentation research institutes are unable to develop any independent products at the moment. Either import it or create a knockoff. The situation in the domestic instrumentation industry is concerning. Except for the military industry.
In fact, I hope that the United States will impose stricter restrictions on the export of mid-to-high-end instruments and meters, thereby forcing us in China to develop and manufacture such instruments domestically; after all, instruments and meters are the eyes of industry.
That’s why men should be careful about choosing the right career field – the position is very important. It is recommended that the original poster look up some information to see if there are any suitable positions available at well-known domestic manufacturers in the instrumentation industry.
Few people are willing to work in factories for manufacturing. Also, this guy who broke the bed is definitely a master at forcing things.

Instrument development involves countless aspects – physical principles, mathematical modeling, analog and digital electronics as well as microcomputers, chemical materials, packaging equipment, manufacturing processes, and so on. Even if a prototype is developed successfully, there are still further challenges: is it possible to scale up production for industrial use? Is it feasible to invest in market promotion? Many instrument manufacturers in China lack the capability for research and development; they merely engage in assembly and calibration work. Those rough-handed folks who raise pigs and farm in Jinhu and Tianchang – what on earth do they develop? :lol. State-owned enterprises with plenty of funding often have weak R&D capabilities, almost on par with those without much resources. Research and development is a niche role in instrument factories; without any guidance or mentorship, it’s very difficult for newcomers to get the hang of it.... There are many types of instruments, but their usage is limited, resulting in low overall production values. As a result, domestic instrument factories earn meager profits, and employees receive low salaries. Those who are skilled in research and development, after working there for a few years and seeing the limitations of this field, often switch to other occupations. It can be said that there aren’t many high-level talents in this industry. :lol
In the domestic field of instrument research and development, there are often limits in various aspects, making it difficult to achieve success. For example, when it comes to voltage transformers, and the need for high precision and stability, Honeywell is a major competitor – with top-tier scientists overseeing everything from chips to signal processing. For those in China who are engaged in research and development, it’s extremely difficult to improve the performance of voltage transformers beyond that of Honeywell’s products. :Lol, when it comes to durability, there are things like screws and other protective elements in place. It’s a group of big capitalists and importers who started their operations early, have extensive connections, and ensure high quality. Those involved in research and development in China often lack control over the manufacturing process of instruments. Moreover, the business environment in China isn’t favorable, with a lot of low-quality materials and refurbished chips available; it’s difficult to tell whether products are genuine or not just by looking at them. For instrument manufacturers, maintaining good quality control is no easy task – it might be 5 to 10 times harder than in Japan or the United States. :lol
There are profitable businesses, and there’s money to be made; identifying the right market position is essential if a company is to survive – it’s not easy at all........ :lol
