Small Talk about Sensor While Travelling (140)

On the morning of June 13th, after two small meetings at the company, I went home after lunch to prepare my luggage and rush to Xi'an Xianyang Airport. The original plan was to fly from Xi'an to Shenzhen, stay for three hours, then fly from Shenzhen to Germany, and arrive in Frankfurt, Germany on the morning of the 14th. However, after arriving at Xi'an Xianyang Airport, the boarding pass has not been processed. The reason is that due to the impact of typhoon "Rose", the rainstorm along the coast of Hainan and Guangdong caused extensive airport delays. However, Xi'an Airport cannot provide an exact departure time for Air China 3580.


I waited until almost 6 pm and finally received a three hour delay notice. The flight departing from Shenzhen at midnight that night will definitely miss it. What should I do? It has to be said that Air China's service is really poor, and the customer service this time was extremely poor. If a delay decision is given two hours in advance, we can change to another flight to Shenzhen. What should we do in this situation? Only by canceling the original itinerary and rebooking. 19: Fly from Xi'an to Beijing at 30, and then fly from Beijing to Germany at 2:30 am on the 14th.

Life and existence are the same, they often do not follow your predetermined arrangements, and sudden changes often occur. It is important that we have the ability to re plan with sudden changes.


On the afternoon of the 15th, I took the high-speed railway from Strasbourg, France to Paris. I saw the pastoral scenery along the way during the nearly two-hour trip. The farmland is not flat, but undulating. I don't know how their irrigation and watering problems are solved, or if it's because of the vast area, they rely solely on the sky to cultivate and eat.


Yesterday (June 16th) was the first day of the 2025 Paris Air Show in France. After a busy day, I was already very tired when I returned to the hotel. I was going to lie in bed for an hour and then write an article on official account. But after lying down, I woke up at 12:30 in the middle of the night and had no thoughts, so I had to give up.

This year, our Xi'an CHINASTAR M&C limited participated in the Paris Air Show with the Xi'an Aviation Base Exhibition Group, and each company was given a small space.


We will focus on showcasing the company's original MCS pressure sensors and transmitters suitable for aerospace industry applications. I hope that in the future, our high-end products can be applied to high-end devices around the world, changing the current situation where China's pressure sensors can only export low-end or mid-range products, and taking the first step for China's innovative sensor technology to truly go global.

Our booth at Xi'an CHINASTAR M&C limited is located in Hall 4. Not far from our exhibition hall, there are two high-end pressure sensor companies from around the world, Druck from the UK and Kulite from the US.

Kulit Corporation, founded in 1966, has been dedicated to the research, development, and production of small-sized, high-frequency, high-low temperature (minus 196 degrees to over 600 degrees Celsius, and can reach over 1200 degrees Celsius in a short period of time) pressure sensors, which are expensive. But Chinese customers who want to purchase Kulit pressure sensors mostly need to provide an end-user certificate. To some extent, it is a famous enterprise that "blocks our Chinese people's neck in pressure sensors". Its pressure sensors and transmitters are leading in major high-end manufacturing industries in the world.

 Drucker, a well-known pressure sensor company in the UK, not only produces pressure sensors but also pressure sensor controllers. Many pressure sensor manufacturers in China use their controllers as standard measuring instruments. Although the controlling parent company of Drucker Corporation, Baker Hughes, recently sold it to the new holding company, Krei Corporation, their company's corporate philosophy of adhering to high-end products and never making mid to low-end products remains unchanged for decades.

In fact, after writing this, Brother Gu does not want to introduce the product performance customers and applications of these two companies in detail. But from the air show, we can see the gap between our Chinese company and the world's advanced companies compared with the booths of these two companies. The focus here is not on the size of the booth, the exquisiteness of the decoration and the cost.

The important difference is that most of our Chinese companies are in the booth, first introducing the company's history and the various certifications or certificates obtained by the company. And they put their company logo in a prominent position. Brand is quality, guarantee, high-performance symbol, and customer trust.


In a major influential international exhibition, when our Chinese company reception customers are still talking about what the company's development has achieved. They began to introduce their new products and applications, and even started drinking coffee to discuss orders.


Such a simple difference implies a huge gap. Chinese sensor companies must work hard to make progress and make another 20 years of solid progress.

Maybe it was due to the jet lag, and I felt very sleepy and had to accept today's official account article. The central idea of this official account article is that China's pressure sensors still have a long way to go compared to the world's leading level. The gap is not only in the product's performance and product stability, but also in the product's brand and global position. China's photovoltaic industry has risen, and China's new energy and new energy vehicles have risen. Although sensors are a decentralized and subdivided industry, they are a key and deadly industry to some extent.

We Chinese sensors must have an innovative awareness and brand awareness, and do not "collect prices". To create high quality and high brand, that is, to be a position in the world sensor field.
