Iron and steel industry upgrading promotes effective supply through "Internet plus"

It is reported that under the stimulation of policies, the task of reducing production capacity in the steel industry has been completed ahead of schedule this year. On November 11th, the relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission stated that as of the end of October, steel had completed the annual target of 45 million tons of capacity reduction ahead of schedule.

To guard against the recovery of eliminated production capacity caused by price incentives, the "Plan" proposes to enhance the effective supply level of the steel industry and develop intelligent manufacturing. Accelerate the integration of informatization, digitalization and manufacturing technology in steel manufacturing, and make full use of the "Internet plus" model, big data, etc.

Xu Guangrui stated that intelligent manufacturing can promote the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry from four aspects: firstly, streamline process links and improve labor productivity; The second is to enhance the level of intelligence and flexibility, and improve the effective supply of the steel industry; The third is to improve the level of resource integration throughout the entire chain of the steel industry, unleashing economies of scale and synergies; The fourth is to improve the level of industry monitoring and self-discipline, which is conducive to the smooth realization of the two major goals of reducing production capacity and green development in the steel industry.

In the future, the collection, organization, analysis, and feedback of big data in the steel industry will play an important role in the development of the industry. Not only in the processing and production process, but also in various aspects of the steel industry such as research and development, service, procurement, and sales, information sharing will be achieved, and the efficiency of resource allocation will be greatly improved, "Xu Guangrui told reporters.

Professor Li Yonggang from the School of Economics at Zhejiang University of Technology stated in an interview with Securities Daily that the "Plan" emphasizes the need to use the internet to re integrate the entire industrial process of the steel industry, connecting all links of steel production, supply, and sales through the internet platform, which can improve operational efficiency.

"On the whole, the integration of the steel industry with the Internet and big data is not only the subjective will of China to further promote the national strategy of 'Made in China 2025' and speed up the construction of intelligent factories, but also the objective requirement of China's industrial optimization and upgrading and improvement of the development environment. It is also the proper meaning for China to become a manufacturing power," said Xu Guangrui. Iron and steel industry upgrading promotes effective supply through "Internet plus"
