With the rapid development of e-commerce, the development of China's instrument industry has never been prosperous. According to relevant data, China's instrument industry broke through the 500 billion mark for the first time last year. Under the condition of weak global economy, the instrument industry will develop towards automation in the future and have a broader prospect.

The future development of automatic instrument and control system should focus on:

1. Functional safety. In recent years, the important development of functional safety is that a large number of functional safety certified instruments are introduced to the market. In order to gain a favorable position in the competition, almost all instrument manufacturers will carry out functional safety research.

2. Automation Instrument and enterprise informatization. Automatic instrument technology includes information collection, processing and application. Enterprise informatization is actually the integration and integration of enterprise information. To this end, automation and systematic information models must be used to simplify, rule and abstract information in order to make the most effective use of information. This is not only a basic work in the field of automation instruments, but also an important means of unified information expression.

3. Wireless communication. The rapid development of industrial wireless communication technology is a significant bright spot in the field of automation instruments. It is characterized by the diversification of technical schemes, the rapid increase of participants and the establishment of professional organizations. Launching a variety of wireless demonstration systems and measuring instrument prototypes will become the focus of major automation instrument exhibitions in the world.

4. Integration of global information and life cycle information of automation instrument engineering project. This is to realize the comprehensive interoperability of automatic instrument systems. Interoperability is hierarchical, and its implementation requires a long process. In recent years, the publication of iec62424 standard, the expansion of INtools tool software function and the introduction of various interoperable standards between control system and field instrument layer are important marks in the development.

5. System maintenance and instrument diagnosis. System maintenance and instrument diagnosis have attracted more and more attention from users, manufacturers and researchers. It is divided into four levels: diagnosis of production process, diagnosis of production equipment, diagnosis of automatic control system and diagnosis of field instruments.

With the continuous expansion of market demand, the instrument industry closely related to people's life has also developed rapidly. However, due to technical and innovation reasons, there is still a huge gap between the domestic instrument industry and foreign countries, the lack of key core technologies, low-level repetition, and the stability and reliability of products can not be fundamentally solved, It still relies heavily on imports for high-end precision instruments, and a large number of imports have an adverse impact on industrial development.

Internet e-commerce can help domestic instrument and meter enterprises to participate in domestic and foreign competition and have a direct dialogue with the international market, which can help enterprises quickly break through the technical bottleneck and realize technological innovation and upgrading. Use this emerging trading tool of e-commerce to broaden the current sales channels of enterprises, improve the business environment, optimize and activate the whole industrial chain, actively integrate into the trading mode of the Internet, and make use of the Internet and e-commerce to make the business bigger.
