industrial automation control is to control various processes according to various parameters in the production process. Industrial control automation products are divided into control layer, drive layer and execution layer. From the driver level, the market size of programmable controllers in China in 2016 was 7.3 billion, with a year-on-year increase of 1.4%, and the growth of small and medium-sized PLCs was significant. In 2016, the HMI market grew slightly. It is expected that in 2017, with the recovery of more downstream industries, the growth momentum is expected to continue and the localization substitution process is accelerated. (original reading)

on the surface, China is a big manufacturing country. To outsiders, it seems that there is nothing China can't make, and the manufacturing industry is prosperous. But looking at the essence through the surface, it can be said that most areas of China's manufacturing industry, as long as they involve difficult core technologies, are almost monopolized by foreign technologies, which is an industry crisis behind the surface prosperity. Walking into the leading factories in China that we are proud of, we can see that all the equipment used are brand-name equipment from Japan, Germany, Switzerland and other countries, ranging from machine tool equipment to software, materials, cutters, tools and so on. How many are not foreign brands? As a large manufacturing country, the situation of so relying on foreign technology is indeed chilling. (original reading)

of the more than 100 enterprises surveyed, nearly 30% of the enterprises surveyed are worried about the sluggish market demand.

This year, Siemens proposed to reduce the price by 20%, while Alstom and general electric proposed to reduce the price by 18% and 20%. Although the sales in the first quarter of this year increased by 15% year-on-year, which is the best start in recent years, the size of metallographic samples is easy to hold and grind. It can be predicted that the business situation faced by enterprises in the next three to five years will be very severe. (original reading)
