On August 23, 2025, the 2nd Forum on "High-Quality Development of Process Industry Digital Intelligence, Specialized Automation Technology, and Operation & Maintenance Capability Enhancement" coupled with the Working Meeting of Instrument Circle (Inner Mongolia) Technology Workstation successfully concluded at Crowne Plaza Ordos. As an enterprise deeply rooted in the industrial automation instrument sector, Xiamen Zoner Instrument Co., Ltd. was invited to participate in the exhibition, joining industry peers at this three-dimensional empowerment event integrating "resources + capabilities + opportunities". Amid the wave of digital intelligence transformation, Zoner showcased its technological strength and unlocked new possibilities for industry cooperation.

Focusing on Industry Pain Points: Zoner Breaks Through Digital Transformation with Technological Strength​

The exhibition coincided with the crucial concluding year of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The in-depth integration of artificial intelligence, big data, IoT, and the process industry has not only brought new opportunities for production efficiency upgrading but also made transformation toward "high-endization, greenization, integration, and intelligence" an urgent industry need. Addressing core topics highlighted at the forum—such as "instrument professional quality and efficiency improvement", "difficulties in advancing localization", and "digital intelligence technology implementation"—Zoner focused on displaying its high-precision industrial instrument product line at the venue. From intelligent sensors adapting to complex working conditions to automated monitoring solutions enabling efficient operation and maintenance, every product closely aligns with industry demands of "solving practical O&M challenges, reducing enterprise costs, and enhancing safe operation levels".

On-site, many participating guests from energy and chemical enterprises such as Inner Mongolia Shenhua, Yitai Group, and Junzheng Group stopped by Zoner's booth, conducting in-depth exchanges on practical issues including "liquid level measurement of liquefied gas spherical tanks" and "pressure measurement of liquid ammonia recovery tanks/ammonia cooling tanks". Through physical demonstrations and case analysis, Zoner's technical team detailed product application scenarios in the process industry: for instance, a coal chemical enterprise reduced equipment failure rate by 30% and annual O&M costs by over RMB 200,000 by adopting Zoner's customized liquid level monitoring solution. Such "implementation-oriented" cases gained high recognition from the guests.

Linking Industry Ecosystem: Capturing New Cooperation Opportunities Through Exchanges​

The exhibition served not only as a platform for technological display but also as a bridge for industry resource connection. This time, Zoner participated alongside 10 high-quality domestic suppliers. During the "New Technology and Product Exhibition" segment, we witnessed the collective breakthrough of China's domestic instrument industry in "import substitution and independent technology". Meanwhile, through exchanges with peers, we absorbed cutting-edge technical experience in areas such as liquid level measurement and valve operation & maintenance.

Additionally, during the "special seminar" session, Zoner's team fully participated in discussions on topics including "difficulties in implementing the new GB17681 standard" and "2025 safety inspection hotspots". Addressing enterprise concerns such as "how to adjust instrument calibration cycles under the new standard" and "compatibility between digital intelligence systems and traditional instruments", Zoner proposed a "dual-track service model of customized solutions + full-lifecycle operation & maintenance" based on its experience serving over 200 process industry enterprises nationwide. This proposal was affirmed by Mr. Ren Sanduo, initiator of the Instrument Circle, and on-site experts. Furthermore, 3 local chemical enterprises in Inner Mongolia expressed intentions for subsequent cooperation on the spot.

Deepening Regional Market: Zoner and Instrument Circle Jointly Embrace the Industry's New Future​

During the exhibition, the official licensing of the Instrument Circle (Inner Mongolia) Technology Workstation marked the further improvement of the regionalized technical service system. As an instrument enterprise long focusing on regional industrial development, Zoner deeply understands that the digital intelligence transformation of the process industry is not a "single-point breakthrough" but a systematic project of "regional collaboration and resource sharing".​

In the future, Zoner will closely follow the Instrument Circle's dual-drive strategy of "industry deep cultivation + regional intensive cultivation", actively participate in subsequent technical exchange activities in cities such as Xinxiang and Yinchuan. We will continue to focus on the needs of key industries including energy, chemical engineering, and metallurgy in Inner Mongolia and surrounding regions. With more on-site-oriented services and working condition-adapted products, Zoner will help regional enterprises break through automation O&M bottlenecks and accelerate the implementation and application of domestic instrument technology.

Just as the book donation ceremony of Instrument Q&A 360 conveys the spirit of "gathering the strength of instrument professionals", Zoner Instruments looks forward to collaborating with more industry partners—taking technology as the foundation and service as the core—to jointly promote the high-quality development of process industry digital intelligence!
