China's sensor industry analysis: solving four major difficulties into the smart sensor

In recent years, China's robot industry has achieved good development results, whether it is industrial robots, service robots or special robots have been widely used. This aspect is closely related to the continuous release of global automated production demand and the increasing demographic dividend. On the other hand, it is benefited from the continuous improvement and improvement of various intelligent technologies.
Among the several technologies that have the greatest impact on the development of robots, in addition to artificial intelligence, big data, positioning and navigation, sensor technology also plays a vital role. As a main detection device, the sensor is like the medium that the robot knows the world, giving the robot all the ability to perceive the external environment.

In the future, with the acceleration of the Internet of Everything and the era of intelligent sensing, the new era of robots entering information and intelligence will be the trend. To achieve this upgrade, sensors will remain a vital and irreplaceable dependence. one.

The rapid development of China's robot industry is inseparable from the addition of sensor technology. In the future, as long as China solves the four problems of technology and talents, it can promote the maturity of robot sensors.
Forecast and Forecast of China's Sensor Market in 2018

According to the statistics of China Sensor Manufacturing Industry Development Prospects and Investment Forecast Analysis Report released by Prospective Industry Research Institute, the scale of China's sensor market in 2015 was 99.5 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 15%. By 2016, the size of China's sensor market reached 112.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.2%. As of the end of 2017, the size of China's sensor market has grown to approximately 130 billion yuan. It is estimated that the sensor market in China will reach 147.2 billion yuan in 2018, and the average annual compound growth rate in the next five years (2018-2022) is about 12.13%. It is estimated that the size of China's sensor market will reach 232.7 billion yuan by 2022.
Robot development requires sensors to bless

At present, robots can have flexible posture, sensitive intelligence, and fully automated operation. All human body and sensory functions are inseparable from sensor buckling. The sensor is applied to the robot like a variety of sensory organs to humans. The five kinds of perceptions of the robot's vision, force, touch, smell and taste are transmitted by sensors.

What is more powerful than the human sensory organ is that the sensor can not only give the robot the perception function from the outside, but also can detect the internal working state of the robot itself. By detecting and understanding the position, speed, temperature, load, voltage and other information of each joint, feedback information is sent to the controller to form a closed-loop control, which effectively ensures and enhances the operation and sensitivity of the robot itself.

The external detection of the working environment and the object state, the internal detection of the robot's own working conditions, through the integration of internal and external comprehensive information, the sensor truly realizes that the "machine" becomes "human", ensuring the automation and unmanned upgrade of industrial production. At the same time, the sensor is also divided into a variety of sub-categories, smart sensors-based applications, and will promote service robots, special robots, etc. to the future of intelligent, informational new upgrades and new developments.
China's sensor development faces four major difficulties

Nowadays, driven by policies and markets, the industrial ecology of China's sensors is becoming more and more complete, and key enterprises are involved in the design and manufacturing sectors. Some scientific research institutions have also established relevant service platforms to promote industrial innovation and development. However, due to the late start of the industry and the pressure of competition, China's sensor development still faces four major difficulties.

1. Key technologies have not yet broken through

The design technology of the sensor covers a variety of disciplines, theories, materials and process knowledge. It is very difficult to break through. At present, in the absence of talent, high research and development costs, and fierce competition in the enterprise, China has not broken through some common key technologies of sensors.

2. Insufficient industrialization capacity

Due to the backwardness of the technical strength of China's enterprises, the industry development norms have not yet formed, resulting in the failure of domestic sensor products and the lack of series. The phenomenon of repeated production and vicious competition has led to poor product reliability and low-end offset, and industrialization. The degree is not proportional to the variety and the series, and can only rely on foreign imports for a long time.

3. Insufficient resources

At present, there are more than 1,600 sensor companies in China, but most of them are small and micro enterprises, and their profitability is not strong. The lack of technology-led leading enterprises has led to the diversification of capital, technology, enterprise layout, industrial structure and market. The state, the resources are not effectively concentrated, and the industrial development is slow to mature.

4. High-end talents are scarce

As the development of the sensor industry is in its infancy, the capital, technology and industrial base are relatively weak. In addition, there are many disciplines involved, requiring a wide range of knowledge, and new technologies are emerging, which makes it difficult to attract high-end talents to participate in it. In addition, the imperfect and unreasonable talent training mechanism in China has also led to the industry's lack of talent.

Smart sensors will become a battleground for the future

However, although China's sensor development still faces difficulties, but under the trend of global smart life and intelligent production, the sensor industry will also usher in new development opportunities. As long as we can grasp it, China can still achieve the heading of advanced countries. Catch up.

At present, the sensor market has gradually shifted from industrial automation to consumer products, especially sensors for home appliances and automobiles account for nearly 40% of the market. Among them, the scale of the automotive electronics market is growing at an annual rate of 15%-20%, the number of automotive sensors is increasing, coupled with the emergence of new technologies and new products such as driverless cars, and new types of smart sensors in the future. The demand for sensors will only increase.

Under such circumstances, domestic enterprises should effectively use existing policy dividends, actively promote R&D and innovation of technology and core components, build a complete industrial structure system, and continuously enhance the international competitiveness of enterprises, and become the new sensor market highland in the future. Fight for a favorable position!
