Kunshan sensor industry will usher in the butterfly

Introduction: Although companies in old industrial countries such as Germany, Japan, the United States, and Russia dominated the sensor market, many manufacturers have achieved large-scale production, but huge markets have provided impetus for the development of domestic companies. Although China's sensor industry started relatively late, some products have now reached the international advanced level, and the industry status may eventually change within 5-10 years.

The original set of imported sensing equipment for measuring highway visibility was sold to nearly 300,000. The latest price is only 80,000. The price of the monopoly brand Vaisala, which has this technology in Finland, is reduced! Hearing this news, Liu Zhilin, general manager of Kunshan Nanyue Mintong Optical Fiber Sensor Technology R&D Center, laughed. “We may know that our new equipment is cost-effective and has an impact on them. Prior to Vaisala’s people, they deliberately came to inspect it. ”

Sensors are a strange and mysterious thing for many people. They don't know that sensors are closely related to our lives. "There are more than 200 sensors in a car. There are many sensors in weather observation, aerospace and even children's toys. It is like a screw, but it is indispensable but indispensable," said Zhu Li, assistant to the director of Kunshan Sensor Industry Base. At present, there are more than 50 companies in the base. The products cover eight series and more than ten types such as infrared, photoelectric, Hall, and thermal, and 4 national “863” projects have been implemented, and 6 national torch projects have been implemented to achieve annual production value. Up to 1.5 billion yuan.

According to the forecast of the Institute of Microelectronics of China Electronic Information Industry Development Institute, the sales volume of China's sensor market will reach 90.5 billion yuan this year. In the next five years, the average sales growth rate of the domestic sensor market will reach 31%. For the entire industry, huge demand provides great opportunities.

However, as the core link in the industry chain of the Internet of Things, the sensor industry is plagued by many factors such as low value-added, talents can not keep up, and the industry is disorganized. Liu Zhilin said, especially talents. At present, there is no university setting up a sensor professional in the country, and most of the talented people rely on the transformation of automation and mechatronics. What is gratifying is that many companies nowadays have begun to seek change in talent introduction and marketing.

In the office building of Nanyin Mintong in Kunshan, Dr. Yong Chi was one of the heads of the project team who had Vasala “forced” to cut prices, but here he does not receive a penny. Liu Zhilin calculated the accounts for the reporter. In the past, companies spent 500,000 yuan to recruit people. High-end talent is not necessarily willing to come. Even if they come, the annual salary burden of three or five people is a pressure on the company. Now, it is signed with high-end talent. In the agreement, the final interest will be retained to retain talent so that a win-win situation can be achieved. “We have a lot of doctors here, and their motivation is very strong. This is the effect.” Liu Zhilin said with a smile when he talked about a new way to recruit troops.

As a company specializing in automotive electronics applications and radio sensor identification applications, Kunshan Noking Sensing Technology Co., Ltd. has handed over the market to R&D personnel. General Manager Shen Aiqun told the reporter that Nogin’s R&D personnel will take the initiative to send to the market to understand the primary situation rather than sitting in the research room waiting for market feedback. In doing so, new products will be more practical and even meet the needs of details, use of crowd characteristics, and so on, thereby improving product quality and sales. “For example, we used pressure sensors on automotive air conditioners. R&D personnel were able to grasp the market and create patented products to ensure sales. Today we are already setting up production lines for mass production.”

In addition, in the plant area of ​​Nogin, the reporter also saw two two-story buildings. Within the building, various sensors were displayed in domestic and foreign areas. Each sensor was neatly placed in a glass cabinet. , indicating the manufacturers, uses, parameters and many other information, here is China's first sensor Expo trading platform. Shen Aiqun said that there are now nearly 100 brands entering the platform. The products contain almost all types of sensors. Domestic manufacturers can not only meet the market from here, but also can see and learn from many new technologies of foreign brands. “We also have a corresponding platform on the Internet. Today, the sales volume of Nockin’s own product network has reached 20%, and the sales amount is around RMB 10 million.”

Zhang Xiaofei, director of the China Sensing Industry Research Center, told reporters that although companies in old industrial countries such as Germany, Japan, the United States, and Russia dominated the sensor market, many manufacturers have achieved large-scale production, but huge markets provide domestic enterprises with development. Power. Although China's sensor industry started relatively late, some products have now reached the international advanced level, and the industry status may eventually change within 5-10 years.
