Introduction: In 2011, the sensor was widely used. However, in terms of the development of the Internet of Things, sensor companies have not yet formed an industrial scale, and sensor applications and industrial development are still at an early stage. The domestic sensor industry has developed corresponding new features.

In 2011, sensors were widely used. However, in terms of the development of the Internet of Things, sensor companies have not yet formed an industrial scale, and sensor applications and industrial development are still at an early stage.

With the promulgation of the "Twelfth Five-Year Development Plan for the Internet of Things" of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the applications of the Internet of Things in petrochemicals, intelligent transportation, smart medical care, digital agriculture, safe cities, and digital mines, Sensors based on information acquisition for the Internet of Things ushered in the spring of development. Domestic sensor industry development shows the following characteristics:

New investment in new enterprises

In 2011, Siemens invested 200 million yuan in the establishment of Siemens Sensors and Communications Co., Ltd. in Dalian to localize sensors; Sony Electronics, a manufacturer of consumer electronics, invested a huge amount of 100 billion yen to increase the output value of image sensors; DARPA’s defense The Department of Advanced Research Agency invests GE$6.3 million in the development of biosensors. The local company Suzhou Gujing invested 600 million yuan to increase the mass production of MEMS sensors. Hong Kong China Fiber Optic Network System Group Co., Ltd. invested 5.1 billion yuan to set up China's optical fiber industrial park to produce optical fiber sensors.

Widespread use of traditional sensor applications

In 2011, many new technology sensor products were born: "hypersensitivity" sensors that can recognize any substance, CNT sensors that can detect human motion, palmprint recognition sensors, self-generating nanowireless sensors, and ring laser sensors to detect nanoparticles. Head, transparent biosensors, etc.

When it comes to the Internet of Things, it must talk about automatic identification technology, and RFID is the only choice for large-scale identification technology in the Internet of Things. With the expansion of the application of the Internet of Things, RFID-based sensors will be more widely used on the basis of existing applications.

With the rapid advancement of industrialization and the promotion and implementation of local Internet of Things demonstration projects, traditional sensors such as temperature, pressure, gas, humidity, flow, pyroelectricity, and other sensors have shown good application effects, digital mining, digital agriculture, industrial safety monitoring Internet profiles, etc., all show significant economic and social benefits. The domestic gas and carbon monoxide monitoring internet of things project conducted by Hanwei Electronics, a gas sensor listed company in Beijing, has played an important role in monitoring and preventing gas poisoning in the capital’s people’s livelihood gas.

The company has not yet formed an industrial scale

In 2011, sensors were widely used. However, in terms of the development of the Internet of Things, sensor companies have not yet formed an industrial scale, and sensor applications and industrial development are still at an early stage.

Looking forward to 2012, supported by national policies, especially the introduction of national standards such as the standardization of sensor networks, the planning of sensor network standards will be conducive to the unified network interface of different types of sensors for data transmission, facilitating the integration of platforms and helping The integration, multi-functionalization and intelligence of the sensor IoT. In 2012, emerging investment is expected to achieve large-scale output, and the increase in new companies will accelerate the localization of R&D, production and sales of the sensor industry. Domestic brands will gradually penetrate the high-end market through increasing investment, joint ventures, etc. The export of low-end products will become the choice of domestic brand manufacturers. The import and application of new technologies from abroad will drive the sensor market to a more personalized and decentralized direction. M&A and integration between domestic manufacturers will soon form a trend. With the further implementation and promotion of the Internet of Things demonstration project, based on the maturity of the industry application of IoT solutions and the reduction of hardware costs, as the basis of the IoT pyramid, sensor products will be more widely used, and the sensor industry will develop rapidly.
