SIC 3823 - Industrial Instruments For Measurement, Display, And Control Of Processing
Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing industrial instruments and related products for measuring, displaying (indicating and/or recording), transmitting, and controlling process variables in manufacturing, energy conversion, and public service utilities. These instruments operate mechanically, pneumatically, electronically, or electrically to measure process variables, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, vacuum, combustion, flow, level, viscosity, density, acidity, alkalinity, specific gravity, gas and liquid concentration, sequence, time interval, mechanical motion, and rotation. Establishments primarily engaged in manufacturing electrical integrating meters are classified in Industry 3825; those manufacturing residential and commercial comfort controls are classified in Industry 3822; those manufacturing all liquid-in-glass and bimetal thermometers and glass hydrometers are classified in Industry 3829; those manufacturing recorder charts are classified in Industry Group 275; and those manufacturing analytical and optical instruments are classified in Industries 3826 and 3827.
Industry trends:
The Industrial Instruments for Measurement, Display, and Control of Processing industry (NAICS 3823) is experiencing significant shifts driven by technological advancements and changing market demands. One notable trend is the increasing integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies, enabling more sophisticated data collection and real-time analytics. This allows for enhanced automation and predictive maintenance capabilities, reducing downtime and operational costs.
Another emerging trend is the rising importance of cybersecurity in measurement and control systems. As these systems become more interconnected, the vulnerability to cyber threats increases, prompting companies to invest in robust security measures. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency, with enterprises prioritizing instruments that help monitor and minimize resource consumption.
Looking ahead, the industry is expected to continue its trajectory towards greater digitalization. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) applications will play a crucial role in processing complex data sets and optimizing industrial processes. Furthermore, as industries like manufacturing and energy transition towards more automated and intelligent operations, demand for advanced industrial instruments is projected to rise steadily. Investment in research and development will likely surge, fostering innovation and the introduction of next-generation measurement and control solutions.
