In China's current instrument pipe and valve market, in addition to the low-pressure instrument pipe and valve has reached the level acceptable in the international market, the high-pressure regulating instrument pipe and valve still depends on import. Under the situation of sustained optimistic macro-economy, most of the production and sales indicators of the instrument pipe and valve industry have maintained a rapid growth. However, due to the impact of the price war, the sales revenue and profit of the industry have decreased significantly compared with last year.
At present, although China's instrument pipe and valve industry is developing rapidly, there are many problems, such as low industry development level and low product technology content. As the domestic instrument pipe and valve industry started late and is still in the development stage, the design, manufacturing, production and test capacity of instrument pipe and valve is lower than the advanced level of foreign countries, many key instrument pipe and valve parts still rely on imports, many instrument pipe and valve parts have no core technology, coupled with the limitation of automatic control level, Compared with developed countries, there is a certain gap in the technology of high-end instrument pipe and valve parts.
At present, the gap between China's instrument pipe and valve industry and foreign instrument pipe and valve industry is obvious, and there are mainly four comprehensive gaps: first, the gap in the ability of technological innovation; Second, the gap in processing technology; Third, the gap in quality management and equipment; Fourth, the gap in process management. This also allows us to see their own shortcomings, in order to find the gap and the essence of the problem, so as to improve and improve.
The gap in technological innovation ability and insufficient technological innovation ability are the stumbling blocks hindering the development of our instrument pipe and valve industry. At present, the design level of China's instrument pipe and valve industry is not high. Although the domestic backbone enterprises have certain R & D conditions, the R & D centers of most instrument pipe and valve enterprises are limited by personnel and facilities, lack of sufficient capital investment, and the R & D and technical service capabilities are relatively closed. They mainly provide services to enterprises according to the needs of enterprises, and design according to sales orders The function of process planning is simple; Such as on-site technical treatment in the production process of instrument pipe valves, or engaged in a small number of new product development.
There is a big gap between the design level of domestic instrument pipe and valve parts and that of developed countries. At present, the advanced technology introduced by many domestic instrument pipe and valve enterprises is rarely innovated. When overseas customers visit China's heavy industry projects, such as papermaking and petrochemicals, they find that the instrument pipe and valve products of many projects are only changed on the basis of western design prototypes. The processing technology is also relatively backward, although some domestic instrument pipe and valve manufacturing enterprises have modern equipment, which can realize automatic operation, and even make some western enterprises dwarfed. But most of the enterprises are old equipment, poor working environment.
There is a big gap between our business philosophy and the pursuit of goals and foreign-funded enterprises, especially in the processing technology of product blanks, which is also our reflection. The practice of foreign enterprises is different from that of Chinese enterprises. Chinese enterprises first engage in infrastructure construction, expand production plants and add production equipment. The plants are also expanded again and again. They pursue large and comprehensive, modern style, and only want to expand the production scale, ignoring the R & D and investment of new products. As a result, the products have a serious lack of stamina, and most of the products are imitations, only producing ordinary and low-grade products, Too much energy into the market balance valve market operation, the use of improper means to engage in product marketing competition, resulting in the lack of core competitiveness. Many domestic enterprises refer to the design of other manufacturers when they are engaged in R & D, thus ignoring the importance of the original experimental data. In this way, the products developed only have the shape and no real soul.
As the whole industrial system, there are also some problems. Our R & D system is quite weak, but our innovation ability is relatively weak. Now some enterprises have many branches and joint ventures. Some enterprises have little investment in R & D ability, the construction of scientific and technological team, and the establishment of R & D means and facilities. In fact, the R & D investment is very large, At present, the R & D team, R & D means, R & D product testing measures and type test equipment of the whole industry are not enough to support the R & D and new product development of our instrument pipe valve industry, let alone the development of high-end products.
