Foreign instruments made in China with the quality of the trap, the technology is kept secret

In recent years, with the continuous growth of domestic equipment market demand, due to the backwardness of domestic analytical instrument research and technological innovation, high-end precision analytical instruments still rely on imports for a long time. In order to open up the market, at the same time, by greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the instrument, in order to be more competitive with the domestic instrument manufacturers in terms of price, many foreign instrument manufacturers have chosen with their advanced technology, abundant capital and top brand effects. To invest in factories in China, however, things are counterproductive!

Localization of the instrument is of course a good thing. On the one hand, we can get close contact with advanced technology, cultivate a group of local talents, fill the domestic high-end equipment market, and increase employment. However, there are also many problems that accompany it. Once high-end instruments of foreign top brands are affixed with Chinese-made labels, they have an advantage in terms of price, but their quality is not satisfactory. The Shimadzu of Japan went to Suzhou, and the quality was far inferior to the original one. Therefore, some people said that “No matter how good the brand is, if it comes to domestic production, the brand will have to succeed.” This argument is of course extreme, but it is also directly reflected. The phenomenon of decadence after "localization" of foreign instruments.

How did the quality of foreign instrument brands turn out to be so big?

First of all, from a technical point of view, technology is a key factor in determining the quality of products, but foreign companies are not concerned with the confidentiality of technology. Some key technologies that affect reliability, such as precision machining technology, sealing technology, and welding technology, are not easy to leak. This is also the most important reason for the deficit. Domestically produced foreign instruments may not be the same as the original product technology, resulting in product performance that is not stable enough and reliable. At the same time, the cycle of product technology renewal is slow. Domestic manufacturers lack research on key technologies of products and cannot upgrade products independently. Often, the introduction of foreign technologies is used to achieve the renewal of a generation of products, which cannot be well absorbed after introduction.

Secondly, the lack of attention to production details is also an aspect. For example, the length, material, and even the length of the outlet holes of the bulkheads must be consistent. A valve with 14 holes and 28 outlets must be uniform and uniform. Uniform. It is difficult for a technician in the domestic assembly line to have such a technology. The lack of attention to details directly leads to the roughness of precision instruments.

In terms of training and qualifications of technical personnel, training and assessment will generally be conducted by a unified society. However, there are too many departments for personnel training and accreditation in China. They are too fragmented, there is no complete standard system, and many companies have employees on the production line. No systematic training has been done. Foreign workers may not have been educated by the university, but they have received vocational education. The prescribed procedures will be meticulous, and our workers will not be able to achieve it.

Finally, the decline in localization quality is related to cost control. Domestically produced instruments are mainly sold to underdeveloped and developing countries. In the target market, there must be some localization of non-core components, which will greatly reduce production costs. The pursuit of the maximization of profits is the first goal of the manufacturer, and the past and the past have not paid enough attention to quality to lead to a decline in product quality.

Although foreign instruments made in China have advantages in terms of price, the faults in many aspects such as technology have also brought bad influence to their own brands. Many foreign brands have declined in quality when they enter China, and they also include after-sales services.
