Break Through The "Short Board In The Short Board" And Speed Up The Development Of China'S Industrial Software

Chongqing has always been known as the city of "magic realism". The magic side is the city pattern of mountains and mountains, with the magic forest of geography and humanity; On the practical side, the industry of mountain city is also like mountains. It is the Dinghai Shenzhen needle and industrial ballast stone in Southwest China. As an important advanced manufacturing center of the country, Chongqing has a complete range of industries, especially in the fields of automobile, motorcycle, new electronic materials and equipment manufacturing, which also adds the "industrial punk" temperament to Chongqing.

As in Chongqing, the "industrial punk" cluster brought by large-scale manufacturing machinery is a part of China's industrial industry. Nowadays, with the development of intelligence, upgrading the high-end manufacturing industry has generated new demands. Whether it is industry 4.0 or industrial Internet, the promotion of qualitative change is inseparable from the support of underlying Industrial software.

On June 7, at the first China industrial software conference held in Chongqing, Chongqing released the "14th five year plan" for high quality development of software industry in Chongqing, striving to make the total scale of Chongqing's software industry exceed 500 billion yuan by 2025, including 20 billion yuan of industrial software industry income, and signed 13 key software projects including Qilin software, Huawei and Jinshan.

This is also an epitome of the transformation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry. Solid manufacturing industry provides the foundation for the development of industrial software, and industrial software is an important engine to accelerate the transformation.

Xie Shaofeng, information technology development department of the Ministry of industry and information technology, said at the meeting: "the scale of the industrial industry has grown rapidly. From January to April this year, China's software application income exceeded 2.5 trillion, a year-on-year increase of 25%. The total profit was 288.5 billion yuan, with a year-on-year increase of 20.5%; The number of software employees exceeded 7 million, a year-on-year increase of 6%, and the total wages of employees increased by 11%; In the first quarter of this year, the automation rate of key processes in key areas of manufacturing industry reached 52.7% and 53.7% respectively. The number of industrial apps has exceeded 400000. "

Xie Shaofeng also pointed out that while China's industrial software development has achieved certain results, the industrial foundation is still relatively weak, the bottleneck of key core technologies has not been further solved, the supply chain system of the industrial chain is not perfect, the product application scenarios are still lacking, the iterative upgrading is slow, and the phenomenon of small and scattered enterprises still exists.

As for software development, he also disclosed that the Ministry of industry and information technology will issue the "14th five year plan" development plan of the software industry as soon as possible, comprehensively promote the development of the software industry during the "14th five year plan", speed up the release of the three-year action plan for key technology software of industrial software, and strengthen the key support for key technology software of industrial software.

Industrial software: from loss to speed up

It is reported that industrial software is known as the "brain" and "nerve" of industrial manufacturing. According to its use, it can be divided into: R & D design, production control, management and operation, embedded software, and the emerging industrial Internet platform. Among them, the high-end industrial software fields such as CAD, EDA and CAE of R & D and design have high technical barriers, and the short board is the most severe.

According to the research and evaluation to the Intelligent Research Institute, Dassault of France, Siemens of Germany, PTC of the United States and Autodesk of the United States account for more than 90% of the market share in the field of CAD R & D and design software, while the domestic digital Dafang, Zhongwang software and Shanda Huatian only account for less than 10% of the market; In the field of CAE simulation software market, American companies such as ANSYS, Altair and NASTRAN occupy more than 95% of the market share. In the field of production control, China is mainly occupied by foreign giants such as Siemens, Schneider, GE and Rockwell; Domestic software enterprises such as Baoxin and Sinopec Yingke have only won a place in the electric power, iron and steel metallurgy and petrochemical industries. In the field of business management, sap in Germany and Oracle in the United States occupy more than 90% of the high-end market, while UFIDA, Kingdee and other domestic software enterprises can only occupy about 80% of the low-end market.

In the view of many industry insiders, the past 30 years is the lost 30 years of China's industrial software. Facing the competition of international large factories, domestic enterprises have repeatedly failed and failed in various fields. Under the background of external environment changes and the trend of digital transformation, the importance of software innovation has been raised to a new height. In recent years, industrial software has entered a new stage of rapid development. For example, in the field of CAD, domestic enterprises such as Zhongwang software and Shanda Huatian are rising. Zhongwang software has been listed on the science and technology innovation board, and Huada Jiutian, a domestic EDA company, has completed the listing guidance.

In the field of operating system, Qilin software is also expanding the industrial scene. Chen Zhihua, deputy chief engineer of China Electronic Information Industry Group Co., Ltd. and chairman of Qilin Software Co., Ltd., told 21st century economic reporter: "in the field of industrial software, domestic system ecology is in the initial stage. The number of software and hardware adaptation around the autonomous operating system is still scarce compared with the general field. Most of the software that can adapt to the domestic operating system is operation management software, but there are few important production control, R & D and design software in industrial field. There is a certain gap in talent reserve in the industry, which is further diverted by the siphon effect of the Internet industry. In the fierce international competition, if China's operating system wants to develop, it must first have an ecological environment with both breadth and depth, at the same time, it should have a young and gradient high-quality talent team, and finally, it should have the market and capital strength for long-term development. "

At present, Qilin software has launched the Altay program, which plans to invest 10 billion yuan in five years, cultivate a talent team of 10000 people, and achieve more than 100000 ecological partners. Chen Zhihua said: "at present, the independent innovation work in key industries such as finance, communication, transportation and energy has also started to accelerate. This year, the work will enter the stage of" practical use ". It is the key to win the market competition at this stage to ensure stable operation, complete functions and complete ecology, and then ensure a good user experience. "

How to break the ecological situation in the next decade?

From the beginning of high-end chips, China has gradually realized the deficiency of the underlying core technology. In the field of industrial software, it involves not only software products, but also complex engineering knowledge, computer technology, mathematics and physics. This is a series of bottom ecological construction, which requires a long-term huge investment. Ecological building still has a long way to go.

In terms of the general environment, the domestic application market has also begun to mature. More and more enterprises are willing to pay for genuine software and are willing to use domestic software. In addition, the policy level dividend is constantly increasing. It can be seen that the market maturity of the overall industrial software has increased rapidly.

Under the above background, China's industrial software has begun to accelerate, and its advantages and challenges are also significant. Chen Zhihua told reporters: "industrial software is highly dependent on the industrial manufacturing system, and China is the only country in the world with a complete industrial system, with a complete and strong industrial foundation, which is a fertile land for the development of independent industrial software. At present, there are many kinds of management and operation software in our industrial field. Some high-end software has already possessed industrial competitiveness, and it is possible to make a breakthrough. Industrial embedded software and production control software have a wide range of demands and applications. There are many specialized enterprises in these fields, and they also have a breakthrough industrial foundation and technical ability. "

Taking DCS software for industrial control distributed control system as an example, he said: "Yinhe Qilin has just realized the first demonstration application of domestic independent safety DCS in ultra supercritical thermal power units and integrated control of the whole plant. In addition, the advantages of large-scale technical talents relying on in the period of accelerating economic transformation in China can also provide continuous impetus for the launch of industrial software industry, and provide intellectual guarantee for the highly mature and highly subdivided industry in the future. "

Yang Chaoying, CEO and founder of Shandong Shanda Huatian Software Co., Ltd., said in an interview with the 21st century economic report that on the one hand, foreign software in the industrial software industry is mature, and the entry threshold is very high. In particular, the R & D and design software such as CAD needs continuous investment. At present, few domestic companies with deep accumulation in the field of industrial software have been established within five years. On the other hand, the development of industrial software needs ecology. After the development of CAD, there must be market demand to develop. Whether it is home furnishing, ship, automobile, etc., they all have different industry needs, which need to be applied to various industries to create ecology.

At the same time, Yang Chaoying pointed out that industrial products cannot be separated from industrial software. With the development of domestic manufacturing industry, the development of domestic industrial software is sooner or later. Trade friction between China and the United States and domestic environment have accelerated this process. At present, talent is still a difficult problem. There are few talents related to industrial software itself, and there will be fierce talent competition in the future.

Looking back at the past 20 years, China's Internet industry for C-terminal has made rapid progress and undergone earth shaking changes. However, the traditional software industry is weak and has lost 20 or 30 years. However, some people in the software industry pointed out to reporters that after the vigorous development of the Internet, now a lot of money has been invested in the bottom level research and development. In the next 10 years, China's software industry will have the opportunity to keep pace with the Internet industry.
