Research on the impact of China's RTU industry development in 2012

Advantages and disadvantages affecting the development of the industry

1、 Favorable factors

(1) National industrial policy support

In October 2010, the State Council issued the decision on accelerating the cultivation and development of strategic emerging industries, which listed seven industries such as energy conservation and environmental protection and new generation information technology as new national strategic industries. It is planned that by 2015, China's strategic emerging industries will form a basic pattern of healthy development and coordinated promotion, and play a significant role in promoting the upgrading of industrial structure, The added value of strategic emerging industries will account for about 8% of GDP; By 2020, the added value of strategic emerging industries will account for about 15% of GDP, forming a group of large enterprises with international influence and a group of small and medium-sized enterprises with strong innovation vitality. RTU itself, as the intelligent terminal equipment of the Internet of things, belongs to the new generation of information technology industry; Special products for the oil and gas industry have played a good role in power saving in the production process of oil and gas fields. Online environmental monitoring products can effectively improve the level of pollution prevention and control. From the application field and effect of the company's products, they also belong to energy conservation and environmental protection industry, which is in line with the national industrial development policy.

(2) Technical driving force of communication, computer, network and control technology development on RTU

In recent years, communication technology, computer technology, network technology and control technology have made rapid progress. New technologies are widely used in various automatic control system devices. New automatic control products continue to appear, mature automatic control products continue to upgrade, and the emergence of new technologies drives the industrial upgrading of the industry.

The early RTU can only carry out simple data acquisition and control of some switching values, and the communication ability is weak. Most products adopt customized non-standard protocols. The rapid development of semiconductor technology provides RTU with a more powerful microprocessor, and the data processing ability and control ability have been greatly improved; The rapid development of network and communication technology provides RTU with powerful communication capability and open protocol platform; With the development of control technology, RTU is developing towards intelligence. Intelligent RTU has the functions of PID control, automatic detection, automatic storage, encrypted transmission, rejecting illegal IP address access and so on.

(3) The existing market demand continues to grow rapidly

Due to its strong anti-interference ability, safe and stable data transmission and strong timeliness of the transmitted data, RTU products are widely used in the oil and gas industry, coalbed methane industry, municipal pipe network field, environmental online monitoring field, wide area monitoring field and other industries that need to monitor and control the work site in the open environment. The increase of investment in applicable fields and the strengthening of information construction requirements are bound to drive the rapid growth of RTU related applications.

2、 Adverse factors

(1) Insufficient technology accumulation and R & D investment lead to the lack of international general technical standards and product core technologies

Generally speaking, the scale of China's local automatic control system device manufacturers is generally small, the production history is relatively short, the technology accumulation and R & D investment are relatively small, the international general technical standards and product core technologies are generally in the hands of international automation giants, and the overall technical level of domestic enterprises still lags far behind that of foreign counterparts, The market of medium and high-end products is mainly occupied by foreign brand products. Domestic end customers lack recognition of domestic brand products. There will be a long-term process for the great development of domestic independent brand automatic control system products. At present, only the products of Juying electronics company account for a strong proportion.

(2) Loss of professional and technical talents to multinational corporations

Since the late 1980s, multinational automation enterprises have established R & D and production bases in China, and successively merged and acquired a number of domestic automation enterprises. A large number of automation system application talents trained by local enterprises with deep engineering practice ability and on-site service ability will face more career choices with the development of international famous automation companies in China, making domestic automation enterprises face the challenge of further brain drain.
