Sensors, one of the foundations of information technology, are now integrated into our production and life, from robots to driverless vehicles, from smart phones to smart homes, or smart cities under construction. It's figure.

In recent years, the development and application of sensors in the industrial manufacturing field is particularly hot. Since 2012, the industrial market has increased from more than 80 billion US dollars to more than 200 billion US dollars in 2017. The product types and varieties are close to 30,000 kinds, and the value in industrial production has become prominent, making it the leader of economic development in various countries. One of the sex and strategic industries.

Among them, the application of sensors in the robot industry has attracted the attention of most countries, mainly in the United States and Japan. Under the leading role of these advanced countries, there has been a boom in the development of "smart sensors" around the world. Be active and respond to it.

The combination of robot and sensor can be said to have a very beautiful chemical reaction. The sensor for the robot is like a variety of sensory organs to humans. The sensor provides the robot with five kinds of perceptions such as sight, force, touch, smell and taste, which makes it have a flexible posture, sensitive intelligence, and fully automated. operating. At the same time, the sensor can also detect the working state of the robot from the inside, ensure the stability and sensitivity of the robot operation, and detect the working environment and object state of the robot from the outside to ensure the safety of the human-machine relationship.

The robot provides a good landing scene and higher requirements for the development of the sensor. With the development of the robot industry, on the one hand, the demand for sensor applications is steadily increasing, and the development and production of sensors are further accelerated. On the other hand, robots bring new requirements for functions, types and technologies to the upgrade of sensors, and promote The transformation and upgrading of the sensor industry.

Currently, ¡°smart sensors¡± are new products and new trends in combination with sensors and robots. The United States believes that the information age of the 21st century belongs to the sensor to a certain extent, and after entering the era of intelligence, the front of the sensor naturally needs to add the word "smart".

Compared with traditional sensors, smart sensors have the advantages of high precision, low cost, automation and intelligence because they can collect, process and exchange information with a microprocessor. Taking advantage of this, in recent years, the global and China's smart sensor market has generally ushered in rapid growth.

According to relevant data, the global sensor market in 2015 was 99.5 billion yuan, of which smart sensors reached about 69.8 billion yuan, accounting for more than 70% of the market. In 2016, the global smart sensor market expanded to about 170 billion yuan, with an average annual compound growth. The rate has reached double digits. It is expected that the market size will exceed 300 billion yuan in 2019.

At the same time, in China, the output value of domestic smart sensor enterprises in 2015 is about 1.4 billion US dollars. It is estimated that the country will reach 3.7 billion US dollars in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of more than 30%. In 2019, China's smart sensor market is expected to expand to 13.7 billion US dollars, and the localization rate will increase from 13% in 2015 to 27%. Regardless of whether it is from the international or domestic market, the development of smart sensors is currently in a rapid upward trend, and will be the mainstream of market development for some time to come.

However, due to the relatively early development of China's late development, the intelligent development of domestic sensors may still take a long way to go. At present, many problems facing China's development, such as the scattered industry, small scale, lack of leading enterprises and leading talents, incomplete industrial chain, low industrial integration, serious industrial hollowing, etc., have caused major obstacles to the development of the industry. .

Although the introduction of national policies and the release of dividends have alleviated some of the contradictions to a certain extent, there are still related problems that are more serious, and the joint efforts of industry, academia and research are needed. One of them is the disconnection between R&D and production. This problem is mainly caused by insufficient communication between R&D institutions and production enterprises. It needs to strengthen the integration between schools and enterprises. In the face of large talent flow, low concentration, lack of talents, etc. Due to various factors such as corporate strength and competition, it is also necessary to strengthen cooperation between enterprises and enterprises.

In addition, in the face of the disorder of the market itself, high barriers, and the impact of import shocks on domestic products, the loss of scale effect and pulling effect of domestic enterprises has caused the collapse of the virtuous circle of the market. This requires the joint efforts of enterprises and industries. On the one hand, it is necessary to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises themselves, on the one hand, establish a standardized market order, moderately reduce access conditions and restrictions, promote the rapid development of small and medium-sized enterprises, and create a good development ecology.

All in all, with the infiltration of intelligent concepts into all walks of life, the future smart sensors will occupy half of the market size. As long as we grasp this important opportunity, the development prospects of China's smart sensor industry are worth looking forward to when the policies and markets are accelerating.
