As an important component of the manufacturing industry, instruments and meters are the key to solving the "invisible" quality problems in products and manufacturing processes. With the arrival of the fourth industrial revolution, the new generation of Internet technology has developed rapidly, especially the application projects integrating 5G, artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, and Internet of Things technology are accelerating. Inevitably, the instrument industry has also been affected in this regard.
On the morning of May 29th, Shanghai Institute of Metrology and Testing Technology, National Technology Transfer Eastern Center Blockchain Industry Center, and Shanghai Kuearn Intelligent Technology Service Company jointly signed a cooperation framework agreement for the development of a smart metrology traceability and certification management system. Smart measurement traceability certificate management system is a new generation of Internet smart measurement traceability certificate management system, which comprehensively uses artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, big data, cloud computing and blockchain technologies. The breakthrough point of the project lies in measuring instruments such as blockchain electronic scales.
According to industry insiders, the four basic links of smart metering are intelligent measurement equipment, intelligent measurement data transmission, intelligent measurement data analysis, and intelligent measurement data application. These four links form the entire chain of data acquisition, data transmission, data analysis, and data application, and intelligent instruments and meters are an important part of data acquisition.
Compared with traditional measuring instruments, the chips installed in intelligent electronic traceability scales are not easily tampered with, and by adding seals, the risk of unauthorized modifications is greatly reduced, thereby ensuring the accuracy of measurement data. The development of traceability systems also facilitates the data usage and certification management of measuring instruments throughout their entire lifecycle. Regular mandatory calibration of electronic traceability scales is carried out to ensure accurate measurement. At present, the Jiangning District Supervision Bureau of Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province has successfully used intelligent electronic traceability scales, opening up new prospects for innovative agricultural measurement models, improving quantity transmission traceability systems, and establishing a fair and orderly competitive environment.
At the World Metrology Day event, a metrology institute showcased representative electricity meters from different periods in the early 20th century to the present, from imported electricity meters to the "Guangzhou brand" electricity meters made by Guangzhou Power Supply Company, from the older generation of induction electricity meters to electronic cost control smart electricity meters that can achieve remote data collection today. This fully demonstrates the forward-looking nature of instrumentation products driven by technological development and demand.
At a power supply bureau in a certain city of Southern Power Grid, the electric energy data platform can collect 70 million pieces of electricity consumption data from users through smart meters, covering daily total electricity consumption, industrial total electricity consumption, residential total electricity consumption, and other information for each district. Through dynamic classification analysis, it greatly improves the efficiency of data release, reduces labor costs, and enhances reliability.
In addition to smart electronic traceability scales and smart meters, the instrumentation industry has also begun to move towards intelligent development in many segmented fields. At Xintian Technology, the intelligent metering comprehensive management solution manages various entities involved in the water supply management process through intelligent water meters, achieving comprehensive management of the metering work of water supply enterprises; Chuangwei Technology'spressure gaugeThe measuring robot can be used for fully automatic measurement of 2-250MPapressure gaugePressuretransmitter、sensorWaiting for high-precision measurement of pressure equipment; The online automatic analyzer of Broadway Instrument can quickly analyze the ammonia nitrogen content in Rivers and Lakes, tap water, discharged wastewater, high concentration sewage and various solutions online in the laboratory or on site.
With the development of technology, the phenomenon of relying on manual labor in the past will no longer exist. Water meters, electricity metersweighing apparatusWaiting for instruments and meters is no longer just a single billing instrument, but is developing towards intelligence, systematization, modularity, and diversification, which not only meets the needs but also conforms to the trend of the times. For instrument and meter companies, this is both an opportunity and a challenge.
