The future of instrumentation engineers

2016-02-22View Original

Thread Content

I have been working as an instrumentation engineer for over 20 years, dealing with the instrumentation design, selection, installation, and commissioning for various projects – ranging from large fertilizer plants to coal chemical plants (such as those for producing methanol, oil, and olefins) – as well as related systems like demineralized water treatment systems, large-scale air separation units, and coal powder and fluidized bed boilers. Have accumulated considerable engineering experience. Looking back now, I realize that nothing has been left behind; I was merely a passerby in a hurry. How to respond to the call for innovation and create something unique in a situation of declining economic conditions. After thinking it over, I can think of no good ideas. Do any of my colleagues have any good ideas or methods to address the current challenges? I’d like to hear the thoughts of my colleagues.

This is a very broad topic; as an assistant engineer with less than three years of experience in this field, I will share my preliminary thoughts. Working is simply about making money; as for working for the noble ideal of the \"Chinese Dream,\" I don’t have such thoughts at all. The strength of experienced engineers lies in their experience, such as experience with PID parameters? Such as experience with on-site instruments? For example... wait, anyway, I think experienced engineers are great... As for the economic situation, it’s not very good in the chemical industry; one should just work hard to make a living and not worry about innovation, after all, innovation requires money. Moreover, various institutional regulations are very strict, making it extremely difficult to introduce any kind of innovation. To ensure stable production, factories use relatively basic control systems and control theories, which facilitates maintenance and modification. There’s nothing in the field of instruments that engineers can develop at the moment, but I think there are quite a few aspects of instruments that are worth developing – auto-purge, maybe? Self-cleaning? Maintenance-free, etc. It’s the level that shows itself when communicating with the manufacturer; the manufacturer ; Based on production computing, instrument engineers rely on practical production experiences; the innovation in instruments today lies in using the knowledge gained from such practices to develop more advanced instruments.

Aren’t engineers like that? If you are not willing to do installation and debugging, you can focus on design.

In fact, with the decline of the chemical industry economy! Moreover, the degree of automation of instruments is increasing! The path for those working in the instrument maintenance industry is becoming increasingly narrow! But it will become more and more precise! The skills required for professionals need to become increasingly advanced in order to meet job demands and be able to make a living in the field of instrumentation

Why use punctuation randomly? So many spelling mistakes; for those who work in technology, such things must be strictly prohibited! ;P

I laughed at the two people upstairs: lol:L

This is how I see it: You have been working with instruments for over 20 years, and you also have experience in design and selection; Have you noticed which company manufactures the instruments you have chosen? Have you noticed creative products available in China that large foreign companies do not offer – instruments that are actually very useful in practice – but why aren’t they promoted? How many of the online analytical instruments are domestically produced? Was your idea when you designed it consistent with what you’re saying now?

First time seeing such a funny comment: L:L:L

Compared to the instrument engineers in our company, hey

If you’re stuck for ideas, read more books and industry journals and papers. Forums contain a mix of information, but there are always issues worth considering. Gain more engineering experience – since design comes first, there’s a lot to learn about design as well as about practical application. The path of learning is endless

Actually, there are plenty of high-end instruments available these days. Aren’t we working on smart factories these days? It can be developed in this direction
