CategoryDomestic load cell to speak with innovative strength .
With the continuous expansion of the market and the growing demand, load cell manufacturers are slowly increased up, how to do better in the market, not difficult to analyze, and only in the continuous improvement of the sensor technology and services hard to walk in the forefront of the market demand.
Intelligent life will be living in a variety of items together in series, the growth of the Internet of Things has become an indisputable fact. According to IDC, the market size of the global Internet of things will be given by 2013 $ 5.4 trillion to $ 7.3 trillion US dollars in 2017. The rise of smart home and wearable equipment and a series of new lifestyle for the sensor to bring gold chain opportunities. Including MEMS sensors, as the core of the upstream industry chain technology, originally used in cars, smart phones MEMS sensor system started strong into wearable art equipment.
Farewell to the “price competition”: the load cell to speak with innovative strength
Weighing sensor technology is an important foundation of electronic weighing technology, weighing sensor is a core component of electronic scales and electronic weighing systems. The development of modern weighing technology facilitates load cell technology advances, the development of microelectronics technology, computer technology, network communication technology, modern manufacturing technology, protection sealing technology, but also for the development of new load sensor provides technical and material basis.
Since the 1980s, some companies the United States, Germany, Japan and other industrialized countries, in order to meet the needs of international markets electronic weighing, weighing sensor common key technologies research and technology, styling products on production engineering and new product development have made great progress, so that the load sensor toward miniaturization, integration, multi-functional and intelligent direction. Establishment of the design of virtual reality technology, virtual manufacturing technology, the production process network of modern enterprise information systems.
It includes computer-aided design and simulation of dynamic systems; modeling and simulation systems for the production process of virtual simulation and testing technology and supply chain and logistics design; networked production process supervision, monitoring and control systems. Each country has appeared in more than 200,000 ~ 400,000 load cell known enterprises, internal quality and appearance of products are world-class level.
In short, the successful experience of these enterprises is to strengthen basic research, innovative technology and equipment, strict manufacturing process, total quality management.
Our load cells from the 1980s more than 20 enterprises have introduced the United States, Japan and other countries design and manufacturing technology for small batch production, 1990s design their own mass production, technical and technological level has greatly improved, the quality of products and the number of basically meet domestic market demand.
At that time people’s understanding of the load cell product is: more variety, low-volume, low-cost, high-yield, less investment and quick. Thus resulting in some enterprises and individuals of various systems have entered the industry, so manufacturers rapidly increased more than 160, resulting in crowded markets, intensified competition in the market. Weighing only a few years time a substantial increase in sensor output, and the quality is good and bad, cohabitation, people worried.
Some enterprises in order to sell more products hit the price card, whose low price, who is the big winner, a price war has been to the extent of the deranged. Production conditions, some of them simple enterprises, the lack of the necessary technical equipment and testing instruments, patchwork combination of product; some companies only have a certain production conditions, driven by interests, in order to reduce prices to grab the market, in disregard of the State standards and product quality law, with low-grade raw materials, components to produce finished products, seq charge excellent; although some have the production conditions, but in order to compete on cost, not when you press the stereotypes identified prototype manufacturing process, material change, change element, Save the process, or just barely qualified person “qualified.”
Consequences of price competition, load cell product quality supervision and inspection highlighted manifested: 1997 pass rate was 17% in 2002, the passing rate of only 37.5% from 1998 to 2003, the State Administration of Quality Supervision Electronics pricing scale with quality six national supervision of qualified rate has been hovering around 50%, or most of the load cell temperature substandard performance.
Although some owned, joint ventures has maintained a high level of production and stable product quality have been close to or reach the world advanced level in technology and processes, but by the impact of price competition, the number of domestic product decreasing. Some old domestic backbone enterprises, face a price war, he insisted the main raw materials, components unchanged, the same manufacturing process, under the premise of quality assurance, internal potential, reduce costs, withstand the test of the national supervision and spot checks to obtain all qualified good results, but profits are declining, the survival and development face serious challenges.
Weighing the overall quality level of the sensor, and its essence reflects the overall technical, technological and management level, it has influenced the development of electronic weighing.
If the business blindly cut prices, blindly none other, even non-profit sales, there can be no primitive accumulation of capital, companies do not have the ability to research new technologies, new processes, new product development and, thus, reducing the credibility of enterprises, China’s load cell industry as actually built on sand castles, go on like this is very dangerous, the gap between the sensor and the weighing of industrially developed countries will become increasingly large, even the day never catch up.
Domestic load cell manufacturers and government quality supervision departments at all levels should fully understand the seriousness of this problem, we must take effective measures to improve the overall quality level of the load cell as soon as possible. The most effective way to solve quality problems is tackling the problem from the roots.
Quality supervision departments at all levels should take administrative law, not self-serving, the production enterprises to raise awareness of legal metrology, to ensure the necessary conditions for the load cell production, strict implementation of national standards for production, to ensure the production of quality standards and consistent product.
Only change “price competition” to “quality competition” and “innovation competition” is the right way to improve our overall load cell technology and process level, the overall level of quality, to keep up with the development trend of international technology, integration into the international market.
