The China (Shanghai) International Sensor Technology and Application Exhibition, organized by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission and organized by the China Sensors and Internet of Things Industry Alliance, was held in Shanghai on the 12th. Industry experts participating in this exhibition forum believe that after NB-IoT (referred to as “narrowband Internet of Thingsâ€) broke through the bottleneck of the slow development of the Internet of Things, with the expansion of downstream demand, the sensor will soon become the fastest growing semiconductor industry. One of the sub-fields. In terms of support policies, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus on promoting the narrow-band Internet of Things, and will support the development of the sensor field from five aspects.
Narrowband Internet of Things will welcome commercial first year
“Hanwei Electronics ships more than 10 million environmental sensors per year, but the data return rate is only 5%. The reason is that traditional WiFi or Bluetooth technology cannot meet the data communication requirements.†Ren Hongjun, Chairman of Hanwei Electronics, gave a speech. Said: "I hope that the narrowband Internet of Things can solve this problem."
At present, the traditional Internet of Things wireless technology has caused geographical fragmentation, and its free model has made it impossible for the entire industry chain to find a profitable business model, making the Internet of Things develop very slowly. According to Chu Qing, vice president of Huawei, as the world's first wide-area Internet of Things standard, narrow-band Internet of Things is expected to change the above-mentioned dilemma, truly opening the door for the Internet of Things and breaking through the bottleneck of its slow development.
As an emerging technology in the Internet of Things field, narrow-band IoT supports low-power devices in the WAN's cellular data connection, so it is also called low-power WAN. In Chu Qing's view, the narrow-band Internet of Things can make every corner of the Internet of Things gain a profit model. "The three advantages of narrow-band Internet of Things are: massive connectivity, deep coverage, and ultra-low power consumption." Chu Qing said: "The number of connection points of narrow-band Internet of Things is more than 100 times that of 4G, enough to meet the needs of a large number of devices in the Internet of Things in the future. Requirements; signal coverage is 100 times higher than LTE, and coverage is difficult to reach in areas such as underground pipelines; its power consumption is as low as two dry batteries for ten years, which also brings low cost advantages. It is reported that Huawei is committed to building a new Internet of Things ecosystem, which will change the way the world exists and the way people live.
In terms of policy, according to the Shanghai Securities Journal reporter, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus on promoting the implementation of the narrow-band Internet of Things. Local governments are also actively responding. Before the end of this year, the narrow-band IoT field scale network test and business in seven cities including Beijing and Shanghai will be launched. demonstration. Industry insiders expect that next year will be the first year of narrow-band IoT commercial use.
Chu Qing emphasized that the two key factors that promote the innovation and development of the Internet of Things industry are standards and ecology. “Standards are decisive for catalyzing an industry. Without standards, industry chaos and product costs are high; ecology allows sensors to penetrate into market segments and bring huge business opportunities. The world's most valuable companies in the future. It may come from the Internet of Things industry.†It is reported that Sanchuan Intelligent, a listed company, has cooperated with Huawei to develop an Internet of Things water meter based on the narrowband Internet of Things standard.
Sensor downstream market is fully open
"In the context of the rapid development of technologies such as smart manufacturing, industrial Internet, and Internet of Things, the global sensor industry will also present a new development trend, and will have a market size of nearly 300 billion US dollars by 2020." Director of Electronic Information Department, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Shi Shijing said in the opening speech of the exhibition. And some brokers believe that Chinese companies will account for one-third of the 100 billion sensor market, and there is huge room for development.
Many experts at the conference stressed that after the bottleneck of the development of the Internet of Things, sensors will become the fastest growing field in the semiconductor industry and have greater growth potential in the field of intelligent manufacturing. In the eyes of experts, smart manufacturing will drive the application and development of sensors across the industry and in the whole field, thus becoming a huge driving force for new economic growth. Unlike traditional intelligent factories, smart factories will realize the whole process of engineering, manufacturing, production supply and sales, and will also drive smart grid, intelligent logistics, intelligent buildings, smart mobile devices and smart products. Rapid development. Based on this, Zhang Dake, vice president and chief technology officer of Honeywell Greater China, believes that advanced manufacturing and advanced logistics transportation will be the focus of investment in the next five years, and the market size will reach 250 billion US dollars.
Earlier, Zhao Yang, chairman of Meixin Semiconductor, said in an exclusive interview with Shanghai Securities News that Meixin is optimistic about the application of sensors in the field of Internet of Things and intelligent manufacturing. It is reported that the sensor products used by Meixin in automobiles have already entered the European manufacturers and are used in the products of BMW, Ford and other companies. The company's magnetic sensors are also used in intelligent transportation and precision agriculture solutions. In the next step, the company will focus on the development of single-chip sensor SoC chips, with the goal of adopting new technologies to reduce the price of high-end manufacturing sensors to a level acceptable to the public, thus enabling large-scale application in the field of civil manufacturing. It is reported that the new navigation chip-module has been applied to the control system of related products of AVIC.
In the field of industrial control, as the gas sensor leader, Hanwei Electronics' IoT system solutions have covered smart cities, smart security, smart environmental protection, smart home, and great health. In addition, the shield environment was invested by the National Development Fund in March this year, and it is planned to implement an “annual production of 10 million MEMS smart sensors and IoT sensor industrialization construction projectsâ€.
Policy continues to help industry development
At this exhibition, Yan Shijing said that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will support the development of the sensor industry from five aspects. Earlier, Xin Guobin, deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also stressed that the next step will be to focus on the "short board" of smart manufacturing development such as sensors.
The five major aspects of Shishijing's breakdown include: promoting core technology research and industrialization, promoting the development of MEMS processing and integration technologies, and gradually building a high-level technological innovation system; strengthening the upstream and downstream cooperation of the industry chain, supporting downstream manufacturers through commercial cooperation and integration of mergers and acquisitions. Participate in upstream sensor R&D and manufacturing, improve sensor intelligence and integration level; promote the establishment of semiconductor sensor innovation center, integrate the intellectual resources of university research institutes, connect manufacturing and application enterprises, and make full use of public technology research and development Platform to support industry development; build industry chain standard system, vertically integrate industry chain resources, shorten development time of technology products and other industries, promote rapid and orderly development of industries; support industrial organizations such as industry alliances, encourage them to participate in the formulation of relevant government plans, Public policy, industry standards and industry data statistics, etc., and establish an information resource sharing mechanism to provide technical support, policy guidance and other service support for industrial development.
Xu Honghai, Dean of Shanghai Industrial Automation Instrumentation Research Institute, revealed at the exhibition that the "13th Five-Year Plan for Intelligent Manufacturing" will be promulgated, and the plan will make major breakthroughs in five core technologies: robots - high-end CNC machine tools, sensors, and intelligence. Inspection, additive manufacturing (3D printing) and warehousing logistics. As the foundation of smart manufacturing, the development of the sensor industry has risen to the core of planning.
According to Yang Wei, secretary general of China's Sensors and Internet of Things Industry Alliance (SIA), the alliance will then cooperate with all parts of the country to promote the development of international and domestic application standards and build an international industrial cooperation platform. Yang Wei revealed that the alliance will release a narrow-band Internet of Things standard in the near future; its temperature sensor related standards developed in cooperation with China Electronics Standardization Research Institute will start drafting work in the fourth quarter of this year; meanwhile, the alliance will also cooperate with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to issue a series of industrial white papers. .
