Industrial software is the soul of modern industry, representing the development of advanced productivity in the manufacturing industry. Strong industrial software, national manufacturing competitiveness can be strong.
Industrial software is fundamental to the competitiveness of the national manufacturing industry
Development of industrial software is the necessary foundation for promoting intelligent manufacturing. The deep integration of modern information and communication technology and manufacturing technology is the key to intelligent manufacturing, which involves the integration of hardware, software, network, computing and other technologies and manufacturing technology, and industrial software is one of the most critical technologies, whether it is hardware, network, computing and other technologies and manufacturing process integration, can not be separated from the software definition, coding and packaging.
The development of industrial software is to enhance the international competitiveness of the manufacturing industry is an important hand. The core of industrial software is industrial basic data, data-supported industrial software function is powerful. For example, airplanes, ships and other fields, industrial software allows software model testing and prototype testing to do exactly the same, greatly reducing the probability of prototype error design. Currently, developed manufacturing countries are willing to build large-scale high-end equipment factories overseas, design, assembly, testing, maintenance and other aspects of the willingness to export, it is due to the industrial software better to ensure that the technology is fully applied in the case of the technical process and not be leaked.
Development of industrial software is to promote manufacturing production and business model change and innovation of the premise. Enterprise R & D design, production control, assembly and testing, after-sales operation and maintenance, remote service and other aspects of information construction are inseparable from the support of industrial software, industrial software defines the basic theory of R & D design system, production control process, product assembly order, product testing mechanism, operation and maintenance mode, and so on, and even the definition of the manufacturing industry's business model, collaborative R & D, personalized customization, network manufacturing, online operation and maintenance, time-share leasing and other new business models are inseparable from the industrial software support.
Problems in the development of China's industrial software
Manufacturing industry on foreign industrial software to form a long-term dependence on the lack of long-term research and development of key processes and industrial technology data accumulation, manufacturing industry in some areas of technology hollowing out. China's aircraft, ships, metallurgy, chemical industry, biomedicine, electronic information manufacturing and other key manufacturing areas have long been accustomed to using foreign industrial software, for the design principles behind the insufficient understanding, and the lack of long-term accumulation of basic process research and development data, resulting in the accumulation of basic technical principles of data there is an obvious gap. Foreign countries are simply not possible to sell industrial software containing the latest innovations in data, can be sold inside the industrial software solidified data is often the last generation or even the last few generations of data.
The software industry and the manufacturing industry integration degree is not high, the lack of large manufacturing enterprises to take the initiative to layout, pure software companies to the industrial software enterprise transformation difficulties. Pure software companies to enter the field of industrial software, there is a natural professional and technical barriers, industrial software is different from ordinary network applications, industrial processes and technology is programmed to encapsulate, behind the need for industrial processes and a huge technical data for support, which is by no means a pure software company alone can be. At present, the domestic large-scale manufacturing enterprises lack of intelligent manufacturing era, the importance of industrial software depth of understanding and awareness, accustomed to buying and applying the industrial software of foreign enterprises, will not take the initiative to strengthen the layout of the enterprise's key core processes, processes and technologies of the software encapsulation, to improve the convenience of process data application and the safety and security of the industrial core technology output.
The domestic industrial software market is monopolized by foreign enterprises, the development of domestic industrial software is seriously lagging behind, the industrial ecological foundation is still very weak. Key core technologies in key industrial areas are mastered by foreign enterprises, the key core industrial design, process control, simulation and testing software are almost exclusively foreign enterprise software. Industrial software research and development needs ecosystem support, however, at present China's industrial operating system, industrial software development platform and other important domestic industrial infrastructure software is the whole industry chain is missing, which also directly leads to the domestic industrial operating system running on the domestic industrial control application software is almost blank.
Industrial software domestic standards are missing, the degree of comprehensive integration and application is not high, the role of industrial software to play a limited. In recent years, Siemens, General Electric and other large manufacturing enterprises have increased the integration of industrial technology and software technology, by vigorously acquiring software companies to strengthen the core competitiveness of enterprises in the era of intelligent industry. At present, the fact that the domestic industrial software market standards are dominated by large foreign manufacturing enterprises, foreign enterprises in the standard of mutual strangulation, resulting in the domestic market at the same time the use of foreign enterprise products, different vendors product program compatibility and interoperability there are big problems. As China's domestic intelligent products in key manufacturing areas of the system is not high, most of the cases are in the active demand for interconnection with each other's products, and therefore can only passively comply with each other's product standards.
Industrial software on the manufacturing model of change and innovation has not yet been played, the manufacturing smile curve is subject to industrial software short board. As the domestic industrial software applications are still generally in the R & D design, industrial control and a number of individual applications, throughout the manufacturing industry R & D design, process control and other aspects of the integrated application of less, different vendors of industrial software programs compatible with the existence of a larger problem of industrial software integration effect has not yet appeared.
Promote the development of industrial software related recommendations
The establishment of industrial software industry investment fund to increase industrial software industry support. Encourage large manufacturing enterprises to invest in and merge and acquire foreign industrial software service companies to promote the introduction of technology, digestion, absorption and re-innovation; industrial information service engineering companies to develop standardized, general-purpose, platform-type industrial industrial information service software products; industrial big data service enterprises to sort out, mining, **** enjoy and open up the industrial big data; colleges, universities and scientific research institutes of manufacturing-related professional researchers to establish and Open industrial technology process database, for industrial software development to provide public **** data support.
To carry out industrial software service enterprises recognized and other related work, the implementation of more preferential industrial software industry finance and taxation, investment and financing, intellectual property rights support policies. Carry out the special work of industrial software service enterprise identification, the implementation of more favorable industrial software industry tax relief policies than the software industry. To set up a number of national engineering laboratories for industrial software in key manufacturing fields such as iron and steel, metallurgy, shipbuilding, aircraft, automobile, high-speed rail, biomedicine, electronic information manufacturing, etc., and to encourage large-scale manufacturing enterprises and software enterprises in the industry to jointly take the lead in setting up such laboratories. For domestic enterprises to invest in and merge with foreign industrial software enterprises, simplify the approval procedures for overseas investment and implement relevant tax reduction and exemption policies. For the listing and financing of industrial software enterprises, reduce the threshold for listing, and for the investment behavior of industrial software enterprises, reduce or exempt the relevant taxes. For the recognized industrial software enterprises to apply for relevant financial funding projects, reduce the application threshold in terms of business income, tax payment and human resources.
The leading enterprises in the manufacturing industry as the core of the formation of industrial software industry alliance to create an industrial software industry ecosystem. Play the role of manufacturing industry associations and software industry associations, encourage manufacturing enterprises, software companies, industrial data analysis companies to jointly set up industry-specific industrial software alliances to strengthen the joint development and promotion of industrial software application. Playing the role of industrial software alliance, focusing on promoting the development, promotion and application efforts of industrial software in key industries such as iron and steel, metallurgy, shipbuilding, aircraft, automobile and so on. Cultivate industrial operating systems, industrial databases, industrial software development platforms, industrial software programming languages and other basic software information service providers. Encourage institutions of higher learning, research institutes to strengthen the industrial operating system, industrial database, industrial software development platform and other basic software platform key technology research, and advocate the production, learning and research joint research. Strengthen the cooperation between industrial software enterprises and Internet enterprises, encourage the development of platform-type, network-type industrial software for small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises to provide inexpensive industrial software cloud services.
