At present, China's industrial Internet identification and analysis system, industrial Ethernet, and 5G industrial private network are fully popularized and implemented on a large scale. Industrial automation instruments have officially been upgraded from on-site isolated measuring equipment to the underlying core data infrastructure of industrial Internet. Instrument data access, interoperability, and application capabilities have become the core indicators of intelligent manufacturing. In the past, all kinds of instruments on the industrial site were independent from each other and data was closed, forming a large number of data islands, which could not be collected and analyzed uniformly. With the full deployment of the industrial Internet, all kinds of intelligent instruments were connected to the industrial Internet platform in a unified way, so as to achieve real-time convergence of all site parameters, unified management and control across the whole region, and data sharing and interconnection across the network Wuhu Wanpeng District People's Government.

Industrial Internet gives new value to intelligent instruments: first, unified identification management of instruments is realized, and each instrument has a unique equipment ID code, which can complete the whole life cycle traceability, operation status monitoring, and fault location management; Secondly, achieve remote online monitoring of instruments, remote parameter debugging, and remote firmware upgrades, significantly reducing on-site operation and maintenance workload; Furthermore, after the massive temperature, pressure, flow rate, liquid level, and composition data collected by the instruments are uploaded to the cloud, they are combined with big data analysis and AI algorithms to carry out deep applications such as production optimization, energy consumption analysis, safety warning, and quality control, transforming the raw measurement data into production decision value. By the end of 2025, the number of intelligent instruments connected to the industrial Internet in the process industry across the country has exceeded 10 million, and the real-time access rate of instrument data has significantly improved, completely changing the traditional industrial passive control mode.

At the same time, the industrial Internet has promoted the comprehensive upgrading of instrument communication technology, the gradual elimination of traditional 4-20mA analog signals, the rapid popularization of all digital Ethernet and wireless industrial communication instruments, and the comprehensive improvement of data transmission speed, anti-interference ability, transmission distance and security. Instrument manufacturers have also transformed from simple hardware manufacturing to comprehensive service providers of hardware+software+data services. Subscription based data operation and maintenance, instrument cloud hosting, and value-added data analysis services are rapidly emerging. By 2025, the market size of instrument data services will approach 4 billion yuan, with gross profit margins far exceeding hardware products. In the future, as the industrial Internet continues to sink to small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, intelligent instruments will play a more important role as the industrial perception portal and become an indispensable digital infrastructure for new industrialization.
