"Industry software development model is crucial, industry simulation the application value of software is highly significant. For example, in the large aircraft project, Boeing 777 first made computers simulation computer simulations of the aerodynamic behavior of large aircraft are used much of the time. Structural design, lift and drag force, torque, and the aircraft's behavior during certain vibrations (AVH) are all simulated using computer software. Industrial simulation software is, therefore, extremely important.”
Chen Shiyi, academician of Chinese Academy of Sciences and chief consultant of Shenzhen TENFONG Technology Co., Ltd., pointed out that "China's independent industrial software is China Science and technology. The strategic place to tackle key problems is the strongest boost for the continuous innovation and upgrading of China's manufacturing industry. Industrial simulation software must develop its own core technology and independent software. "
Develop of China industrial software
Academician Chen Shiyi pointed out that according to the data of China Industrial Technology Software Industry Alliance, the growth rate of China's industrial simulation software market will be 20% in 2021, which can reach the market scale of 20 billion within three years, but the weakness of independent software is prominent. In 2019, among the top ten suppliers of ACE (Computer Aided Engineering, a technical software widely used in the R&D and design process of industrial manufacturing products) software market in China, there is no independent software enterprise. At present, the penetration rate of domestic CAE is 11%.
Top five manufacturers and development trend of industrial software market
It is reported that in 2020, the global CAE market will be dominated by the top three suppliers, namely SIEMENS, ANSYS and DASSUALT, with a total market share of 47%, and the other two among the top five CAE suppliers are ALTAIR and HEXAGON. The localization rate of China's CAE market is less than 5%, and the main manufacturers are PERA GLOBAL, CAD and ANWISE. There is a big gap between domestic enterprises and foreign countries in technology.
Academician Chen Shiyi believes that although there is a technological gap between China's industrial software enterprises and foreign enterprises at present, there is a lot of room to keep up with the pace of advanced manufacturers in the future. Based on the author's research, international industrial software has entered the third stage of development, foreign companies such as SIEMENS, DASSUALT, and ANSYS have achieved significant technological accumulation in their software offerings. Furthermore, these companies have achieved application synergy in the practice of national industrialization, facilitating streamlined and optimized processes through software implementation. These industry giants are all upgrading towards a "software + services" integrated solution approach. However, China's industrial software industry is currently in the early stage. A large number of core industrial software such as design and manufacturing are occupied by foreign brands, and there are only a handful of Chinese enterprises, which can be summarized as "strong management software, weak industrial software, more low-end software and less high-end software". Manufacturing in China Intelligence Upgrade at present, Chinese industrial enterprises have a mass demand for software upgrade, giving domestic manufacturers sufficient room for development.
SIEMENS recently demonstrated the case of Nanjing's digital-native-factory. From planning and construction to operational management, this factory relies on Siemens' native digitalization technologies and concepts. They support the factory's transition from concept to reality, with "digital twin" covering the entire product line and the complete lifecycle of the factory. This enables a digital closed-loop, where data and insights from the virtual model are utilized to optimize operations and make informed decisions throughout the factory's lifecycle. "We design factories and production lines just like we design products. For example, even before the actual groundbreaking, SIEMENS has already completed the construction of the factory in the virtual world. Process Simulate is used for simulating and simulating single equipment, human-machine cooperation, robot operations, and refining production units. The data integration of each process is done on the Teamcenter platform, facilitating shared access and collaboration among team members." The head of SIEMENS said that the new factory can produce at the same time electron and motor manufacture two categories of products that are quite different from raw materials, production equipment and process flow.
After putting into production, its production capacity will be nearly doubled, its production efficiency will be increased by 20%, its flexible production capacity will be increased by 30%, its time to market will be shortened by nearly 20%, its space utilization rate will be increased by 40%, and its logistics circulation efficiency will be increased by 50%.
It is reported that SIEMENS displayed its industry at the HANOVER in Germany 5G dedicated network application case: an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) connected by 5G. When the AGV and mobile robots are applied to the internal logistics in the production process, the production flexibility can be effectively improved. Reliable wireless communication provide guarantee for its stable and safe operation. SIEMENS has realized the transmission of profinet IO protocol through 5G private network, thus transmitting data in real time for industrial applications. This breakthrough was achieved by SIEMENS SCALANCE 5G router. The central controller can transmit profinet through 5G private network, which can be carried out with distributed I/O modules on mobile devices such as automatic guided vehicles (AGV) communicationIt eliminates the need for local control of each individual mobile device, saving costs and reducing maintenance.
The development path of Chinese industrial software can be described as a process of domestic substitution, aiming for replacement and iteration.
China's industrial software industry is currently in the first stage. A large number of core industrial software such as design and manufacturing are occupied by foreign brands, and there are only a handful of Chinese enterprises, which can be summarized as "strong management software, weak industrial software, more low-end software and less high-end software". With the intelligent upgrading of China's manufacturing industry, China's industrial enterprises have a wide demand for software upgrading, the room for domestic manufacturers development is sufficient.
Academician Chen Shiyi pointed out that the development of independent industrial simulation software currently faces three major challenges: First, the domestic market is almost monopolized by foreign manufacturers; Second, the industrial software industry needs compound talents, and there is a big talent gap in China at present. According to the "Key Software Talent Demand Report", by 2025, the gap of key software talents in China will reach 830,000, of which the gap of industrial software talents is 120,000; Third, the technology of domestic computing platform needs to be improved urgently.
Of course, Chinese industrial software enterprises also face three major opportunities. First of all, China's industrial structure is upgraded, and policies is positively support Second, with the new scientific and technological revolution, China keeps pace with the world. Optimize the calculation speed and cost, integrate the simulation work flow, and improve the usability of products. Moreover, AI + big data will greatly shorten the solution time and improve the solution speed. IIoT+ Digital twinning makes it possible to build more complex simulation systems across processes and systems.
Recently, at the 2022 HUAWEI Developer Conference, Zhang Xiwei, President of Huawei's Kunpeng Computing Business, stated that after three years of development, the Kunpeng ecosystem is increasingly thriving. Up to now, the whole machine partner shipments have accounted for more than 90%, Euler shipments have exceeded 1.7 million sets, and Gauss's community download the cumulative volume exceeded 800,000 times, and more than 4,000 partners hatched more than 11,000 solutions together. Kunpeng has been applied in various industries on a large scale and has become the first choice for digital transformation of the industry.
In terms of enabling industrial manufacturing, last year, HUAWEI, together with POWERLEADER, TALKWEB Information, YANGTEZ Computing, APULIS Technology, HYPERAI, HUARUI Technology, WORDOP, ADLINK Technology, ADVANTECH Technology and DONGSHENG, released the HUAWEI ASCEND manufacturing solution. In view of the pain points of manufacturing enterprises, such as low quality inspection efficiency, poor flexibility and insufficient precision, HUAWEI ASCEND Solution is based on the mature practice of AI application in HUAWEI Southern Factory, creating AI quality inspection solution, and striving to accelerate AI scale to serve digital factories.
"In addition to traditional industrial design, industrial software is also a big one in the digital economy artificial intelligence develop with data collection. There is a long way to go to develop independent industrial software. In the next 5 to 10 years, we need talents and markets. Guangdong is very good, Huawei takes the lead, and many other enterprises are participating. The West has adopted a containment strategy against us. Now is the best time to develop independent industrial software. " Chen Shiyi said.
Li Jingyan, founder and chairman of Beijing Shiguan Yang Kim Technology Development Co., Ltd., said that the domestic substitution of industrial software should be replacement + iteration. Benchmarking foreign excellent software is to benchmark its achievable functions, not the benchmarking software itself. Foreign software has gone through a long way, deep accumulation is a long term, but the burden of history is also a fact. For example, GCKcontrol adopts new technology to solve the problem Simulink the problem of slow speed in simulating large models. With the upgrading of intelligent manufacturing in China, China inevitably needs and should give birth to software giants comparable to DASSAULT and SIEMENS, or form a software ecology comparable to them.
