China's iron and steel industry should fully grasp the opportunity of the industrial revolution brought by the new generation of information technology, integrate intelligence into the steel manufacturing and operation decision-making process, and realize digital R&D and manufacturing, mass customized production, network collaborative manufacturing, and precise operation control. Innovate business models and industrial forms, cultivate new momentum for steel development, create new competitive advantages, comprehensively improve development levels, achieve high-quality development of the steel industry, and realize the dream of a strong steel country.
As "industrial grain", steel is an important cornerstone for the construction of a powerful manufacturing country. As a typical process-based industry, the iron and steel industry is an extremely complex giant system. It urgently needs to take the lead in realizing an integrated operation system with a high degree of integration of enterprise management and control and a high degree of coordination of various business units in an information-based environment. To realize industrial interconnection, intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation, there is an urgent need for networked industrial chain integration and digital product life-cycle management and control. Intelligent manufacturing is an important way and starting point for the steel industry to transform and upgrade itself and achieve high-quality development.
At present, the concept, thinking, methodology, and even strategic goals and connotations of informatization are undergoing drastic and profound changes. The informatization of the iron and steel industry is undergoing a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, and the iron and steel industry is changing from informatization to intelligence. revolution. The goal of intelligence is to achieve global optimal allocation of resources, solve uncertain problems, and realize mass customization and predictive manufacturing to meet the individual needs of downstream customers. Its foundation is standardization and lean, and its core is industrial software.
At present, green and low-carbon development has become an irresistible trend of world economic development, and the fourth industrial revolution, which integrates information technology and manufacturing, is in the ascendant. China's iron and steel industry should seize the opportunity to make efforts in low-carbon metallurgy technology and intelligent manufacturing technology, bravely break into the "no man's land", realize "overtaking on the curve", and demonstrate the due responsibilities and responsibilities of a major steel country in the world.
