2020-12-31
The sensor industry is a fundamental and strategic sector of the national economy. It provides essential core technologies and equipment indispensable for defense facilities, major engineering projects, and critical industrial equipment. Yet, China finds itself in a vulnerable position—“choked” by Western countries—in many fields, especially in high-end industrial sensors. The degree of dependency on foreign suppliers in this area is even more severe than that for chips: in the realm of precision instruments and meters, nearly 100% of sensors are imported! In today’s era, marked by the vigorous development of information technology and the digital economy, as well as the burgeoning growth of the Internet of Things, the importance of sensors—situated at the forefront of intelligent sensing and serving as the very source of data collection—is self-evident. We are currently witnessing a once-in-a-century shift toward “deglobalization.” Under the country’s 14th Five-Year Plan, the primary and critical task is to overcome bottlenecks in core technologies, integrate both domestic and international resources, and enhance the security, stability, and high-end sophistication of industrial and supply chains—thereby breaking through foreign “chokeholds” and unblocking the “internal circulation”!
Sensor Nobleman Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2018 and is dedicated to the research, development, production, and sales of high-performance nanofilm pressure sensors, transmitters, and precision instruments. Its technological platform and team both originated from Beijing Zhonghang Xingsheng Company, making Sensor Nobleman Technology the industrialization flagship enterprise resulting from the technology transfer of Zhonghang Xingsheng to the national-level Liuyang Economic Development Zone. Sensor Nobleman Technology has invested nearly 100 million yuan to establish a pre-industrial base and completed commissioning and mass production in March 2020. Over the next five years, the company plans to invest 5 billion yuan to build a comprehensive R&D and production base for high-performance nanofilm sensors, transmitters, and precision instruments with dual-use military and civilian applications in China. Positioned as a high-end sensor manufacturer, Sensor Nobleman Technology regards “promoting the localization of China’s sensor industry” as its mission and is a pioneer in the localization of high-end sensors.
1. Set high standards, adopt a high starting point for planning, and promote with high quality.
1. High-standard positioning
Sensor Nobleman Technology is positioned at the high end of the market, with a corporate mission to promote the integration of science and technology with practical applications and contribute to the “domesticization” of China’s sensor industry. This mission has been consistently upheld. In the future, as the country adopts a new development paradigm featuring domestic major circulation as the mainstay and mutual promotion of domestic and international dual circulations, Sensor Nobleman Technology will step up to fulfill its mission of achieving domestic substitution for high-end pressure sensors.
In terms of corporate positioning and strategic choices, the development of Suno-Meng Technology is highly aligned with the relevant goals outlined in the 14th Five-Year Plan and is synchronized with the nation’s overall development. The “Suggestions of the CPC Central Committee on Formulating the 14th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and Long-Term Goals for 2035” emphasize placing the focus of economic development squarely on the real economy, paying close attention to high-end manufacturing and intelligent manufacturing, and accelerating major breakthroughs in critical core technologies. As an upstream enterprise in equipment manufacturing, Suno-Meng Technology has consistently maintained a focused and professional approach in the field of pressure sensors. To break through the technological blockade imposed by Western countries in the high-end pressure sensor sector, Suno-Meng Technology has heeded the nation’s call and followed historical trends by deeply investing in three key areas: core components that represent “choke points,” critical basic materials, and advanced foundational processes. The company primarily serves the high-end equipment manufacturing sector—both military and civilian—with a strong emphasis on dual-use applications. In the field of nanofilm pressure sensors, Suno-Meng Technology has devoted itself wholeheartedly to research and development, overcoming numerous technical challenges. It has successively invested substantial human, material, and financial resources into R&D and the upgrading of production processes. As a result, the company has achieved complete independent control over its core technologies and has broken international monopolies in three key technologies.
The pressure sensor products from Sensor Nobleman Technology boast a combination of outstanding performance characteristics, including high precision, exceptional stability, an ultra-wide measurement range, and an exceptionally broad operating temperature range. Even under harsh environmental conditions, these sensors maintain high performance with an extremely high accuracy of ±0.1%FS and a drift rate of no more than ±0.1%FS per year. It is precisely because of the company’s stringent standards for product positioning that Sensor Nobleman Technology strives to surpass—indeed, even exceed—the performance metrics of advanced foreign products in the R&D and manufacturing of high-end pressure sensors. As a result, Sensor Nobleman Technology consistently manufactures dual-use, high-performance pressure sensors adhering to military-grade quality standards.
Since its establishment more than two years ago, Sensor Nobleman Technology has taken solid steps toward achieving domestic substitution for high-end pressure sensors, becoming a pioneer in the localization of such sensors. Building on the foundation of Beijing Zhonghang Xingsheng Company, Sensor Nobleman Technology has heavily invested in research on key technologies. To date, it has obtained over 60 authorized patents—both domestic and international—including several invention patents. The company has innovatively adopted new sensing material technologies that exhibit exceptional resistance to both high and low temperatures and possess an extremely low temperature coefficient, with a temperature coefficient of less than 2×10⁻⁶/℃. This ensures that the sensors maintain minimal temperature drift even under ultra-high and ultra-low temperature conditions, guaranteeing their long-term operational stability. At the same time, the company employs novel elastomer materials with outstanding resistance to high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosion. These elastomers combine the advantages of metals and glass while overcoming their respective drawbacks, and are made from amorphous alloys that serve as elastomers. As a result, these sensors can operate stably for extended periods at high temperatures up to 400℃ (with a maximum operating temperature reaching 1000℃).
“Completely domestically produced and fully independently controllable”—this is the fundamental requirement for our company’s implementation of domestic substitution. “Globally advanced overall, with certain technical indicators surpassing those of Europe and the U.S.”—this is the goal we relentlessly pursue. As we embark on the new “14th Five-Year Plan” period, we remain steadfast in our efforts, working with unwavering determination and unity from top to bottom, boldly setting sail toward the untapped blue ocean of domestic substitution in high-end sensors.
