The 2015 International Instrumentation Exhibition came to an end in Chongqing. As someone working in the instrumentation industry, will you attend such exhibitions?
This time, as the end-user of the instruments, I went to take a look and had some deep insights. I felt that sometimes, before signing the contract, the samples shown were extremely high-quality; but once the products arrived, they didn’t seem as good. When you raise concerns, the manufacturer will simply tell you that the price specified in the contract corresponds to that quality of product. How can we be confident then? Domestic manufacturers, after all, try to maximize their profits by adjusting the quality according to the contract terms. As a result, the quality of some manufacturers’ products keeps getting worse over time!
If there's a chance to attend an exhibition like this, I will definitely go; it allows one to broaden their horizons and gain a lot of knowledge.
This exhibition is the first of its kind on such a large scale in the southwestern region. Although there are not many foreign brands participating, a large number of domestic brands, especially some major instrument manufacturing groups, are involved, providing many users with an excellent opportunity to get to know domestic instrument manufacturers. Some other domestic instrument manufacturers have begun to move beyond mere imitation; they have carried out substantial research and development in terms of the sensing components, electrical processing, and applications of their instruments, which is undoubtedly a significant advancement. Even among the domestic leading instrument groups, there is a trend toward integrating industry, academia, and research; by collaborating with various domestic universities and research institutions, they develop instruments suitable for use in China. Furthermore, there has been a significant improvement in manufacturing standards as well; great progress has been made in terms of design, operational functions, display interfaces, and built-in software. Don’t assume that domestic instruments have too many shortcomings; it should be understood that there is a process required to move from imitation to independent design and manufacturing, and this process can be quite lengthy.
