In recent years, Zhejiang Institute of Metrology (hereinafter referred to as "Zhejiang Institute of Metrology"), with the theme of cultivating and strengthening new quality productivity, is committed to rapidly transforming scientific research achievements into practical applications and injecting strong impetus into economic and social development. Up to now, the Institute has presided over more than 60 national, provincial and ministerial science and technology projects, authorized 84 invention patents, won 47 provincial and ministerial science and technology awards, and made remarkable achievements in the formulation and revision of national measurement technology specifications, ranking the forefront of national provincial measurement technology institutions.

Key drivers for upgrading traditional industries

In traditional industries such as textile, manufacturing and agriculture, with advanced measurement technology, enterprises can accurately control the production process and occupy a favorable position in the fierce market competition by reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

In 2021, in response to the demand of a company in Hangzhou for digital measurement and transformation of chain pitch, Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Metrology independently developed an automatic chain pitch measurement device based on multi camera global calibration. The successful application of the device not only improves the measurement efficiency and accuracy, but also reduces the annual personnel cost of more than 150000 yuan for enterprises, further improves the quality level of the factory escalator chain of enterprises, and helps to enhance the brand image of Zhejiang Manufacturing.

Since this year, focusing on the electrical industry, one of the hundreds of billion level characteristic industrial clusters in Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Metrology, together with the marketing service center of State Grid Zhejiang Electric Power Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Zhengtai Instrument Co., Ltd., has established the Zhejiang Modern Advanced Power Measurement Technology Innovation Alliance, taking the lead in creating a provincial model of modern advanced measurement system in the power field, It will help the traditional electrical industry to transform into an intelligent electrical industry with deep integration of electrical, electronic, information and communication industries.

The power source of cultivating and strengthening emerging industries

In biotechnology, new energy, information technology and other fields, accurate and reliable measurement technology is an indispensable support in the process of R&D and commercialization.

In recent years, the quality reliability index of electrical equipment in China has been continuously improved, and the service life of electric power products has been extended from 5 years to 8 years and 10 years. Now, a 16 year high standard requirement is put forward, which challenges the high reliability verification of Zhejiang electrical equipment manufacturers. Zhejiang Institute of Metrology, based on the existing technology and testing platform, has developed design verification schemes with enterprises, and ultimately helped many enterprises get on the through train to enter the national grid market, helping Zhejiang enterprises to occupy a place in the development of high reliability electrical products.

At the same time, for the new generation of dual-mode communication and IP68 high-level protection intelligent interconnected energy meters launched by the State Grid, Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Metrology actively carried out the power measurement test verification work under the conditions of carrier based, micro power infinite dual-mode communication mode, helping Zhejiang smart electrical enterprises to pass the test in a relatively short time, Help the electricity meter enterprises to obtain a super large order of 7 billion yuan in the bidding of Guonan Power Grid.

Layout and build the core competence of the future industry

With the development of artificial intelligence, quantum information and other frontier fields, advanced measurement technology will provide a solid foundation for its exploration and development. Quantum gravimeter is a new generation of high-precision absolute gravity measurement instrument based on the principle of quantum precision measurement. It has broad application prospects in national defense construction, seismic monitoring, resource exploration and other fields.

Zhejiang Institute of Metrology laid out the construction of quantum laboratory and promoted the "quantum measurement" plan. Jointly carried out with Zhejiang University of Technology the research on "high-precision absolute gravity acceleration quantum measurement system based on cold atomic matter wave interference", which has the advantages of strong stability, long life, convenient adjustment and preset, mobile measurement, etc., and can realize the precise measurement of gravity acceleration. At the same time, Zhejiang Provincial Institute of Metrology, together with Zhejiang University, Zhejiang Seismological Bureau and Zhejiang University of Technology, is preparing to build a gravity detection experimental platform to carry out the transmission and detection of external measurement values to ensure the accuracy and reliability of gravity measurement instruments. At present, the "Provincial Key Laboratory of Quantum Precision Measurement" co built by Zhejiang Institute of Metrology is recognized as the first provincial key laboratory in 2023.

The relevant person in charge of Zhejiang Institute of Metrology said that he would continue to play an important role in boosting the high-quality development of the industry, vigorously improve the innovation ability of measurement technology and the transformation effect of scientific research achievements, and fully demonstrate the important role of measurement technology innovation in promoting industrial transformation and upgrading, cultivating and strengthening emerging industries, and layout and construction of future industries.
