    [ Focus on Chemical Machinery Equipment Network ] In recent years, the development of digital technology is increasingly profoundly changing the production methods and management modes of the manufacturing industry.
    Enterprises have adopted a large number of automated equipment and digital management to promote China’s manufacturing industry to become intelligent.
    road.

     
    Chemical machinery and equipment network hotspots pay attention to chemical machinery and equipment
    Under the wave of Industry 4.
    0, manufacturing companies have accelerated their steps towards digitalization and intelligence.
    Emerging technologies represented by cloud computing, big data, 5G, artificial intelligence, etc.
    are deeply penetrating the field of industrial production.
    While promoting the upgrading of industrial production systems and operating models, cyber security incidents continue to appear.

     

    Recently, a network security company Trend Micro* released a report that manufacturing companies have become the prime targets of cybercriminals, ransomware, and national hackers.
    Among them, 61% of enterprise factories have experienced cyber security incidents, and 3/4 of them have caused the shutdown of production lines.

     

    In the era of intelligent manufacturing, as an important branch and foundation of the manufacturing industry, the informatization and intelligence of the instrumentation industry are also constantly deepening.
    On this road of transformation and upgrading, the instrumentation industry has made many remarkable achievements and breakthroughs, and there are also many problems and confusions that need to be solved urgently.

     
    Instrumentation
      After decades of development, my country's instrumentation industry has formed an industrial system with a relatively complete product range, a certain production scale and development capabilities, and has a certain competitive advantage in the fields of electrical instrumentation, industrial measurement and scientific testing instrumentation.
    A number of enterprises with *competitive capabilities were born.

     

      But on the whole, my country's instrumentation industry still lags behind the * level.
    Outstanding performance is the lack of core technology, and high-precision products rely heavily on imports.
    In addition, problems such as single type, backward production technology, weak research and development capabilities, poor product stability, insufficient reliability, low precision, and low degree of intelligence also restrict the development of the industry.

     

      With the development of science and technology and intelligence, as well as the rapid development of my country's energy, chemical industry, energy conservation and environmental protection, equipment manufacturing and other fields, higher requirements are put forward for instrumentation products-smarter, more sensitive, more stable, and more convenient.
    .
    .
    Therefore In the era of intelligence, instrumentation products will also develop in the direction of miniaturization, multi-function, and intelligence.

     

      Judging from these trends, companies will invest huge amounts of money in research and development, adopting more advanced production processes and automated or even intelligent production equipment.
    The production of these automated equipment and product development processes will generate a large amount of data.
    These data are enterprises The core assets and sources of competitiveness must be protected by data security for these core data.

     

      At present, the *network security situation is severe, and data leakage crises are spreading everywhere.
    According to the "2020 Data Breach Investigation Report" released by Verizon, 75% of attacks targeting the manufacturing industry are for economic purposes, and 27% are stolen by spies.
    Therefore, instrument manufacturers need to pay attention.

     

      Driven by digitization, the boundary between corporate networks and the outside world has basically disappeared, traditional security methods have gradually failed, and the manufacturing industry is facing more and more complex attacks and risks.
    As the main body of network security, instrument and meter companies need to actively build network security defense capabilities for all aspects of business operation, production management, process monitoring, and on-site control.
