Scale is an important measuring instrument in people's production and life, and almost all industries cannot do without its application. Therefore, it occupies a significant position in both modern production and life. With the development of history, China's weighing instrument industry has gone through a long process of development. However, for a long time, it was mainly mechanical weighing instruments. It was not until the 1980s that the research and development of electronic weighing instruments began due to their gradual expansion and application. After entering the new century, China's weighing instrument industry has entered a rapid development channel, and weighing instrument products have also begun to undergo qualitative changes. Both in terms of product structure and manufacturing level, there has been a leapfrog development, and various electronic weighing instruments with high precision, fast operation, and accurate measurement have been independently designed and manufactured.


From a horizontal comparison, due to China's relatively late entry into the field of modern weighing equipment research and development, there is a significant gap in both quality and quantity compared to advanced weighing equipment enterprises abroad. In terms of weighing quality, the current technological content of domestic weighing instruments is relatively low, and a considerable number of high, precision, and pointed weighing instruments are still relying on imports to meet the demand, indicating that our domestic weighing instruments still need to catch up quickly in terms of high-tech intelligence; In terms of weighing capacity, although the total amount is large, production is extremely scattered. Among more than 800 production enterprises, there are only about 100 weighing scale manufacturing enterprises that are truly relatively large. It is difficult for a single enterprise to achieve scale operation efficiency, especially in new product research and development, which hinders the progress of technological improvement due to the dispersion of power.

The existence of the gap not only clarifies the direction of the development of China's weighing instrument industry, but also provides space for the subsequent development of China's weighing instrument industry. In today's global economic integration, it has created excellent development opportunities for China's weighing instrument manufacturing enterprises. Chinese weighing instrument manufacturing enterprises should seize this great opportunity and actively promote the development of the weighing instrument industry towards modernization and internationalization through international technology exchange and transfer.

In terms of the development of the weighing instrument industry structure, the development space for high-tech weighing instrument products is quite huge. With the continuous development of industrial and agricultural production technology and the transformation of consumer consumption tendencies, pre packaging of goods has become a trend, which requires automatic sorting scales as a modern measurement method for online measurement of packaging products. However, currently, 90% of these scales rely on imports to solve the demand; For example, in terms of improving weighing efficiency, traditional automatic loading scales only have one weighing hopper. However, with the continuous improvement of packaging speed and accuracy requirements of weighing users, single bucket weighing can no longer meet the needs of users. Therefore, diversified and intelligent automatic loading scale combination scales appeared in the international market at the end of the 20th century. However, the high-tech advanced scales currently used in China, We are still in the stage of relying entirely on imports to solve the supply. It can be seen that in the field of high-tech weighing products, China's weighing equipment manufacturing enterprises have huge development space.


In terms of the development of the weighing instrument product market, due to the constraints of existing technological levels, the current product technology content is relatively low in both domestic and international markets, mainly occupying It is a low-end market, which to a large extent restricts the expansion of China's weighing product market. Therefore, in order to occupy the domestic high-end market and participate in international market competition, the weighing instrument industry ultimately needs weighing instrument manufacturing enterprises to take technology as the guide, improve the level of new product research and manufacturing technology as the breakthrough point, gradually bring the technical content of products closer to the international high-end technology level, thereby effectively expanding the domestic market and enhancing competitiveness in the international market.
