  With the acceleration of the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, industrial software, as an important support for the development of the industrial Internet, is receiving more and more attention from policies and markets.

  This year's government work report once again mentioned industrial digitization and mentioned the industrial Internet, clearly proposing to improve key software and hardware technology innovation and supply capabilities.

Representatives from many technology and industrial fields also called for accelerating the independent research and development and application of industrial software and promoting the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.

  The transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry urgently needs "soft" support

  In recent years, the pace of transformation and upgrading of my country's manufacturing industry has been accelerating, and digital technology and manufacturing have been deeply integrated.

"Digital technology empowers the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. It is urgent to focus on breakthroughs in key software, to promote the software industry to become bigger and stronger, and to enhance the innovation and supply capabilities of key software technologies." Representative Gao Jue, executive director of Chongqing Puyuwei Technology Innovation Center Co., Ltd., said.

  As the foundation and core of modern manufacturing, industrial software is currently widely used in the manufacturing industry, covering R&D, design, production, collaboration and other manufacturing processes.

  "Last year, six ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Accelerating the Cultivation and Development of High-quality Manufacturing Enterprises", which focused on promoting the digital development of the industry, vigorously promoting the promotion and application of independent and controllable industrial software, and improving the level of enterprise software." China Chemical Liu Dehui, deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the Engineering Group, said that the industrial software market demand is huge, and the attention and support from the policy level are also increasing.

  Representative Gao Jue said that at present, the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry urgently needs "soft" support, and industrial software has been listed as the most urgent and urgent problem in current scientific and technological research.

"Industrial software is related to the country's urgent and long-term needs, and it shows great strategic value alongside basic raw materials and high-end chips."

  The development and application of industrial software in my country needs to be broken through

  "In 2021, my country's industrial software products will achieve a revenue of 241.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24.8% and 7.1% higher than the industry level." Representative Gao Jue said that driven by market demand and policy support, the domestic industrial software industry has stepped up fast lane.

  However, this is still a huge gap from the development needs of the manufacturing industry.

"At present, my country's industrial software development capabilities that can integrate the operational needs of process manufacturing are weak, and the gap with foreign industrial software is large, and it is difficult to support the digital and intelligent transformation needs of process manufacturing." Representative Liu Dehui said.

  "my country's industrial software is still in its infancy, and the localization rate is low. Among them, the localization rate of R&D and design industrial software is the lowest, and the market share of domestic manufacturers is only about 5%. Moreover, most R&D and design industrial software is only used in industrial mechanisms with simple and systematic A field with a single function and low industry complexity." Representative Gao Jue said that these industrial software have become the problem of "stuck neck" in international competition, highlighting the shortcomings of domestic industrial software, and there is a long way to go for development.

  Accelerate the independent research and development and application of industrial software

  In order to improve the development and application capabilities of domestic industrial software as soon as possible, and to realize the independent and controllable industrial software as soon as possible, representative Liu Dehui suggested that relevant departments should speed up the construction of the "process simulation" industrial software industry chain and ecosystem.

  "Industrial software research and development is interdisciplinary and cross-field, and has high requirements for talents' interdisciplinary theoretical knowledge and industrial practical experience." Representative Gao Jue suggested that relevant encouragement and support policies should first focus on talent strategy and fill the gaps in key basic software technologies. Talent gap.

  The value of industrial software needs to rely on the accumulation and iteration of "use".

How to closely cooperate with the R&D side and the application side to accelerate the coordinated development is also a key issue that representatives are concerned about.

"It is necessary to take the manufacturing application needs of industrial enterprises as the market orientation, and jointly tackle key problems with universities and scientific research institutes to speed up the long-term iteration of industrial software in industrial application scenarios." Representative Liu Dehui said.

  Representative Gao Jue called for encouraging key core technology manufacturers and upstream scientific research institutions and universities, downstream manufacturers and users, complementary manufacturers and other entities in the ecosystem to realize an innovation ecosystem with co-investment sources and shared interests.
