Small Talk about Sensor While Travelling (127)

       Yesterday and today (November 9th and 10th), from Saturday to Sunday, taking advantage of the rest days, more than ten people from the special class of the sensor and Internet of Things industrial chain in Shaanxi Province, led by Director Kang Jian of the Information Industry Division of the Shaanxi Provincial Department of Industry and Information Technology, visited enterprises in Wuxi and Changzhou. At the same time, they are preparing to attend the World Internet of Things Conference in Wuxi tomorrow and are staying at the Junlai Lakeside Hotel by Taihu Lake in Wuxi.

       Looking out from the hotel room window, and taking a leisurely stroll by Taihu Lake after a meal, the vast expanse of Taihu Lake is in full view. Inspired by the scenery, I composed a poem:

                                 Looking right at Liyuan by the lakeside, and left at children playing in the water.
                                 Strolling along the shore of Taihu Lake in early winter, occasionally seeing kapok in full bloom.

        On Saturday, we visited "Xuelang Town and Wuxi Bewis Sensing Technology Co., Ltd.". Under the guidance of several academicians, Xuelangyun Company's deep cooperation with Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China on the industrial Internet left a deep impression. The industrial Internet must study the specific basic knowledge and various technological processes in different industrial fields on the basis of being familiar with the basic theories of the Internet. Only by truly softwareizing and digitizing industrial knowledge and processes can it truly serve manufacturing enterprises.
       This requires going deep into different factories, studying both the commonalities of factories and the individualities of processes, while also respecting the confidentiality of enterprises.

      The cooperation between Xuelangyun☁️ and Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China is truly a key they have opened in the field of industrial applications. At the same time, it can be seen that the road for China's industrial Internet and then to the industrial Internet of Things is still very long. 

        Only when white-collar employees in the Internet industry truly step into the blue area of the manufacturing industry can they truly develop industrial Internet software and systems suitable for the manufacturing industry.

      Wuxi Bewis Sensing Technology Co., Ltd. is a company integrating R&D, production and sales of inertial attitude sensors. Its main products are inertial products such as acceleration sensors, gyroscopes, and the combination of acceleration and gyroscopes (IMU). As the main product of the company, the fiber optic gyroscope sensor also has inclinations, including dynamic and static ones; electronic compasses and attitudes calculated by adding attitudes; and there are also combination products involving inertial autonomous navigation and satellite navigation. The products involve low-precision and medium-level precision, and are very well applied.

       General Manager Wang Chunbo, who is also a friend of Gu Ge for many years, introduced that 50% of their products are exported overseas. The product applications involve construction machinery including construction machinery, cranes, aerial work equipment, mine inclination measurement and navigation of tunneling drilling rig equipment. Unmanned ship navigation, offshore drilling platforms, and shipborne satellite communication on the move. Passenger cars, intelligent driving, AGV logistics vehicles, and unmanned agricultural machinery. Wind turbine online detection and other industrial scene applications. 

       In the future, with the investment support of Hikvision, the enterprise will enter a period of rapid growth.

      The sensor market is broad. How to become stronger and bigger in a niche areas is a question that every manager of a sensor company should think about.

       Thanks to the support of the Jiangsu Internet of Things Industry Association, they arranged two visiting enterprises for us, providing us with an opportunity for mutual learning and cooperation.

       Today, Sunday, we drove for more than an hour early in the morning from Wuxi to Changzhou and first visited Changzhou Research Institute Co., Ltd. of China Coal Research Institute. This is a national team company focused on coal mine sensing, communication and safety monitoring, undertaking the work of intelligent monitoring products and their systems for partial and all coal mines.

       In order to meet the national requirements for the localization of basic products, they have also begun to independently research and develop mems sensor chips related to coal and UWB wireless communication chips suitable for underground safety detection in coal mines, truly solving the problem of 100% localization.

       Not only researching and developing basic component sensors but also meeting customer needs and providing solutions, while also taking into account visualization and operability, the company has developed a series of products and systems spanning data acquisition, data transmission and various applications in coal.
       Both doing basic research and providing solutions is a difficult problem for many Internet of Things companies, as it will consume a lot of R&D resources and marketing expenses. How to achieve a breakthrough at one point and blossom in multiple areas is what everyone hopes for, but it is very difficult.

       Changzhou Boshine Sensor Co., Ltd. is a company that Gu Ge was not familiar with before. It is a company focused on the research and development, production and promotion of piezoelectric materials and related sensors.
      Mastering the key piezoelectric material technology, piezoelectric sensors will emerge naturally. In addition to the piezoelectric ultrasonic sensors that everyone agrees on in different fields or the application that we commonly use in car reversing radars, piezoelectric sensors have very wide applications. In addition, piezoelectric materials and their innovative applications are also constantly emerging.

      This is a piezoelectric matrix series solution developed by Boshine Company. It can limit the sound decibels in a certain area according to different application scenarios, while the sound outside the area is not affected. For example, in square dancing, the sound decibel in a certain area is very high, while it is very low outside the area and will not interfere with others. Other usage scenarios are still being explored.

       In our concept, speakers are all relatively thick. This is developed by Boshine Company. By pasting piezoelectric materials on a relatively thin screen, the screen vibrates through the piezoelectric principle to generate sound, thereby forming a screen-type speaker. Such application scenarios are also being explored.

       Changzhou Boshine Company gives Gu the impression that after researching and breaking through a key technology of piezoelectric sensors, it continuously extends backward, and various applications suitable for automobiles, home appliances and new fields continuously expand its product application market and industry. The product exhibition hall is large and the cost is high, which also shows their degree of attention to the market.

       The sensor industrial chain is a short and long industrial chain. It is short because it is short from materials to sensors, but it requires core technologies. It is long because its application surface is very long. Each application surface is neither too large nor too small, and it all requires a lot of human resources.
        I am very grateful to Secretary-General Yang Xiuhe of the Changzhou Internet of Things Industry Association. Not only did he contact us for visiting enterprises, but today he also led us to visit two enterprises. At the same time, he also provided our Shaanxi visiting delegation with a lot of valuable investment promotion experience. Here, I praise Secretary-General Yang's work enthusiasm and attitude.
