Recently, the Department of Information and Software of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized experts to go to Wuhan to carry out on-the-spot evaluation of the establishment of China's famous software city. After in-depth analysis and serious evaluation, the Department pointed out that in the future, China will further optimize the management of China's famous software cities, promote the establishment of China's famous software cities and pilot cities at a higher level to do a good job in creating related work, and promote the high-quality development of the software industry. It is believed that in the future, the software industry will be further rooted in the key development industries of major cities and regions in China, and will become a booster for the development of other industries in China.
30 years'rapid development of software technology penetrates the instrument industry
The software industry was born in 1949, and the term "software" was not born until 1959. Although our country has started the research and development of software in the 1950s, it is limited to small-scale exploration and attempt. Software industry really takes root in our country, but also after the reform and opening up. Especially the establishment of China Software Industry Association in 1984 marked the beginning of software industry in China. Since then, software has been separated from hardware and become an independent industry with its own "territory".
Nowadays, the software industry has entered into the strategic emerging industries, and has become an important basis for national economic and social informatization. With the manufacturing industry moving towards automation, informatization and intellectualization, the status of software is also increasing day by day. As a basic industry in manufacturing industry, instrument manufacturing industry is also closely related to the development of software industry. Especially industrial software, it can provide research and development, production control, information management functions, greatly improve the production efficiency of instrument industry, and promote the added value of instrument products. Especially in recent years, the rapid development of embedded software is constantly penetrating into various industries, promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional instrument manufacturing industry. This software technology is more and more widely used in instrumentation industry, and is more and more popular with users.
Industrial Software "Daxian Shentong" Speed up the Development of Instrument and Instrument Industry
According to the data provided by the relevant institutions, the industrial software market in China will reach 140.6 billion yuan in 2017 and 222.2 billion yuan in 2021. From the current market structure of industrial software products, embedded software has accounted for 63% of the share in 2017, which can be said to be half of its ownership. The rest, in turn, accounted for 15.5% of the information governance class, 13.2% of the production control class and 8.3% of the R&D design class. Four kinds of products in different ways affect the development of instrument industry.
Firstly, the R&D and design software which occupies a low proportion in the subdivision field includes computer aided design (CAD), product data management system (PDM) and product life cycle management system (PLM). Although the market is small, the technology content is in the industrial software. R&D and design industry software plays a very important role in product design, complete equipment design, plant design and industrial system design. It can greatly improve design efficiency, save cost and achieve visual governance. At present, there is a huge demand gap for high-end instrument and equipment in China. Good R&D and design software is a sharp tool for the instrument industry to enter the high-end field.
Next is the production control software, which mainly includes production execution system (MES), data acquisition and supervision control system (SCADA). It can realize the control and interaction between human and machine, machine and machine, and promote production efficiency. For the instrument manufacturing industry which is gradually moving towards automation, the use of production control software can improve production efficiency, save resources and costs. However, because the production process of all walks of life is complex and different, and there are high industry barriers, the production control software can not be used universally, so most of the enterprises in the field of production control software at home and abroad are concentrated in the vertical industry. Similar to R&D and design, the field of high-end equipment manufacturing is still a contention for the production of control software. It is believed that in the future, the new production control software which breaks the industry barriers will improve the quality and efficiency of the production and manufacture of high-end instruments and instruments.
Then is the information governance software, or can also be called business governance class, operation governance class. Its product types mainly include enterprise resource management plan (ERP), customer management system (CRM), quality management system (QM), supply chain management (SCM). Whether instrument enterprises or other industry companies, they can achieve fine corporate governance, reduce costs, shorten production cycle, promote turnover capacity, and lay the foundation for upstream and downstream industrial chain coordination through such software.
The above three kinds of software are the main application fields of industrial software at present, covering all aspects of enterprise from design and development, production and manufacturing to corporate governance, and have been widely used in the instrument industry. Especially the third kind of information governance software has become an indispensable tool for the normal operation of modern enterprises. So as the industrial software of market scale, how does embedded software affect the development of instrument industry? The minor edition will focus on discussion in future articles.
