The current situation of China s industrial software, what are the industrial software?

Domestic industrial software faces three challenges: foundation, application, and talent

Basic level:From a technical point of view, in the early days, most domestic industrial software enterprises started with the localization of overseas products, and continued to localize in the implementation process, so the domestic industrial software mostly followed the experience of overseas products in the technical path, and the technological innovation ability was lacking. In the market, China's manufacturing industry is dominated by low value-added industries such as assembly and production, and there is more demand for hardware such as automated production, and relatively little demand for software developed and produced.

Therefore, China's domestic industrial software as a whole presents a situation in which software management software is strong, engineering software is weak, and there are many low-end software and few high-end software.

Application levelSince China has not experienced a complete industrial revolution, the industrial management process and production process learn from overseas mature methods. Overseas industrial software grows with the industrial system, and its connotation of industrial knowledge is more in line with the actual industrial production, so overseas industrial software is often significantly ahead of domestic products in terms of availability and advancement, and can even lead the development direction of industrial enterprises, and domestic industrial enterprises, especially medium and large enterprises, will tend to overseas products.

At the same time, the development of high-end industries such as aviation and electronics in China is insufficient, and it is difficult to support the ecology of high-end software and hardware industries. The development of industrial software is restricted by the industry, and it needs to be optimized and iterated in the continuous application feedback of the industry, and the lack of domestic application environment makes the competitive disadvantages of domestic industrial software more obvious.

Talent level:Industrial software research and development requires compound talents in industry and software, and there is a serious shortage of high-end industrial software talents in China. Taking EDA software as an example, there are only about 1,500 EDA R&D personnel in China, of which about 1,200 work in the China R&D center of the international EDA company, and only about 300 people are engaged in domestic EDA R&D, and they are scattered in various companies, universities and research institutes.

The global EDA giants Synopsys and Cadence have about 14,000 and 8,100 employees respectively, compared with China's domestic EDA manufacturer Huada Jiutian only has about 400 employees, and the rest of the manufacturers have more than 100 employees. At the same time, China's developed Internet application industry has a siphon effect on software talents, and there is a shortage of high-end talents in traditional enterprise-level software.

There is still a big gap between China's industrial software and well-known foreign manufacturers

1.Due to the late start of domestic industrial software, there is a certain gap between the user interface, software functions, system architecture, platformization, and openness of the software products of large foreign software companies.

2.Some old foreign industrial software companies often have a deep industrial background, summarize the needs in practice, and then develop industrial software. However, most of the domestic software companies, "from the actual situation, to the practice" homework has not been done enough, limited to the pressure of survival, more the pursuit of short, flat and fast, and even some software that has not been seriously tested is also deployed to the customer site, so that some customer enterprises become "guinea pigs".

In the long run, some large and medium-sized industrial enterprises have formed a "chain of contempt" for local industrial software.

3.Due to the lack of summary of industrial practice, and the lack of brand competitiveness, the platform level of software is not high, many domestic industrial software companies often agree to customer needs for personalized customization and development, and are trapped in the project for a long time, forming a version of many enterprises, but there is no unified planning version, led by the nose by customers, and customer satisfaction is not high. In the end, often due to changes in demand, the implementation is delayed, and no money is made.

4.Foreign industrial software companies often focus on a core technology in the entrepreneurial stage, develop in depth, establish model customers, and are industry benchmark customers, forming their own "unique skills". In the end, either they will raise funds separately, go public, or be "married into a wealthy family" by large companies.

However, many domestic industrial software companies are not large-scale, but their products involve a wide range of fields, wide but not deep, and their competitiveness is not strong. Some companies pay too much attention to short-term behavior, what to make money and do what, for example, there is no professional team to implement large-scale foreign software, but rashly get together a team to sign the order, and the result is a big loss.

5.Some domestic industrial software companies, especially software companies with the background of universities and scientific research institutes, do not attach great importance to market publicity, and even do not have a special marketing department, no one to study and summarize customer needs, write customer cases, no one to do market research, market analysis, and do not hold or participate in market activities, but invest a lot of resources to strive for the best project, or help large customers to get the best project, and then get a piece of the pie. This approach can often get a lot of support in the short term, but in the long run, it restricts the market awareness of enterprises.

6.There are also some domestic industrial software companies that tend to have strong marketing capabilities, and have a certain industry or the background of some large enterprises. However, the background and resources of these enterprises often become a constraint on the development and growth of enterprises.

Most of the software companies that have developed from large manufacturing enterprises are mainly engaged in serving parent companies and related enterprises within the group.

7.Some people with senior technical backgrounds in industrial software enterprises often do not analyze customer needs through market research, but rely on their own experience and feelings to develop new products, in fact, often trial and error, it is difficult to realize the productization and industrialization of software.

There are many types of industrial software.

There are many companies that do MES systems, you can contact these manufacturers: SAP (Germany), Siemens (Germany), Hefei Meiss Software (China).

Oracle (United States), QAD (United States);

There is no good or bad MES system, and the system designed by each MES manufacturer has different advantages, and the system that meets their own production and use is the best.

First, choose the right product or solution for you.

Secondly, find a few MES manufacturers to have an in-depth understanding of the core around demand, solutions, technologies, costs, services, etc.

Finally, it is important to choose a suitable MES system for your own production and use.

That is the accumulation of generation after generation, the current domestic industrialization started later than abroad, but we have developed very rapidly, I believe that not only in the future our industrial software will catch up with foreign countries, become the international leader.

China's domestic industrial software market continues to grow

In the context of Made in China 2025, it has become the general trend for industrial enterprises to transform their development models and accelerate the deep integration of the two, and the demand for industrial software and information services will continue to increase, and China's industrial software market will maintain a sustained growth trend from 2016 to 2020.

According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, from January to October 2021, the revenue of China's industrial software products reached 190.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase, becoming a key force to promote the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and realize the transformation of old and new kinetic energy.

From 2016 to October 2021, the overall market size of China's industrial software industry developed rapidly, and the proportion of the software and information service industry market showed an overall upward trend. According to data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, as of October 2021, the proportion of China's industrial software market in the whole industry has risen to.

Domestic industrial software technology is relatively backward, and the market share needs to be improved

The disadvantages of domestic industrial software are more prominent than foreign industrial software, which are mainly reflected in the core technology. As the core technology is in the hands of foreign manufacturers, the competition in industrial software at home and abroad is fierce. Domestic industrial software has local advantages, mainly focusing on service and policy advantages.

Driven by the local market and policies, it is expected to usher in rapid development in the future. The specific advantages and disadvantages are as follows:

According to the data of the Operation Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, 5% of the R&D and design industrial software is domestic products, and the R&D and design products available in China are mainly used in industrial mechanisms with simple industrial mechanisms and system functions.

1. Fields with low industry complexity; Manufacturing domestic industrial software occupies 50% of the domestic market, and has a certain strength in some fields, emerging Shanghai Baoxin, Hollysys, Zhejiang University Central Control and other industry leaders, but in the high-end market is not dominant. Domestic software for operation and management accounts for 70% of the domestic market share, but SAP and Oracle are still the main high-end market segments.

In the future, domestic industrial software will focus on competition areas

In the future, the key areas of China's industrial software competition will mainly focus on the four major sectors of cloud platform, SaaS, system integration and independent control. From the perspective of cloud platforms, more enterprises will put industrial applications on public cloud platforms to provide integrated services; More comprehensive customer needs will also drive the advancement of SaaS and system integration technologies for industrial software companies. In today's industrial software industry, the most important problem lies in the independent and controllable domestic industrial software, and in the context of the country's vigorous promotion of independent technology research and development, it is expected that independent and controllable industrial software will maintain rapid growth.

——The above data refer to the Prospective Industry Research InstituteAnalysis Report on the Development Prospects of China's Industrial Software Industry and Investment Strategic Planning

Industrial software can be divided into four categories according to different functions, namely R&D and design software, production control software, information management software, and embedded software. R&D and design software include CAD, CAM, etc., production control software includes MES, DCS, etc., information management software includes ERP, SCM, etc., and embedded software is generally common in industrial communications, automotive electronics and other industries.

In fact, in the news reports of recent years, we can also see that the development of future industrial software is cloud and 5G, which fully realize the interconnection of man and machine, so as to realize smart factories.

The unit test tool Visual Unit has been developed in China for more than 20 years. It is an indispensable industrial software tool for rail transit in China.

What kind of software is developed domestically? There are many industrial software developed in China, and the applicable fields are very wide.

The configuration king of Asiacontrol Technology, Kingscada, and some MES and ERP software are all.
