Since the 3rd industrial and technological revolution, the rise of advanced industrial entities and industrial software giants has accompanied the rise. The current development of industrial software in China is seriously mismatched with industrial output value, but the strong support of policies and the accumulation of advanced manufacturing industries in the world have created an excellent opportunity for the development of the IT industry.
According to reference data, Chinese total industrial added value accounted for more than 20% of the global total in 2019. In the same year, the scale of Chinese industrial software market only accounted for 6% of the world in the same period, and the proportion of Chinese industrial software in industrial added value was lower than the global average data. According to CCID data, Chinese industrial software market as a whole is a market exceeding 200 billion yuan, with an industry growth rate of more than 16%, and the prospect is very good.
From the perspective of the industry pattern, there are still foreign software giants such as Dassault, Siemens, Synopsis, Cadence, Autodesk, Ansys, etc. in the industrial design sub-track. At the same time, there are also domestic leaders such as Glodon, China Software, and Zhongwang Software. Manufacturers are expected to enter an accelerated replacement cycle.
Industrial software is the core link of the Industrial Internet and Industry 4.0, and it is also an important foundation and core support for Chinese smart manufacturing and smart construction. Those industrial software will be installed into high performance but low power-consumption industrial computing hardware (Industrial Box PC and Industrial Panel PC), to serve the reference operators.
Industrial software refers to software applied in the industrial field. It can define industrial products, control equipment, optimize manufacturing and management processes, change production methods, and improve total factor productivity. It is the “soul” of modern industry.
Industrial software companies need to support the powerful industrial processes and huge technical data of industrial enterprises behind the programming of industrial processes and technologies, and the value of industrial software algorithms can be enhanced by factory scene data.
Different from normal software in general use, industrial software R&D requires engineers to have both software development skills and rich industrial knowledge and technology. At the same time, the R&D cycle is long, the R&D iteration speed is slow, and the moat of high-end industrial software is extremely deep.
Taking the process industry as an example, if the industrial computing system is compared to the “brain” of intelligent manufacturing, then the knowledge of processes, production, equipment and other aspects contained in the industrial software is the “knowledge” in the brain. It can not only be combined with hardware, but also can exist independently, with unique functions, endowing the machine with intelligence.
According to different application links and scenarios, industrial software can be divided into four major categories: R&D, production control, information management, and embedded software.
From the perspective of market share of segmented product structure, embedded software accounts for the largest proportion, about 57.4%, and is mainly used in industrial communications, energy electronics, automotive electronics and other fields. Information management and production control have the same proportions, while R&D and design have a relatively low proportion.
Information management and production control have the same proportions, while R&D and design have a relatively low proportion.
TAICENN is a industrial computing hardware solution & provider in the field, and our industrial hardware products like Industrial Panel PC & Industrial Box PC can be a good hardware platform to install those industrial software, providing a high efficient hardware HMI platform for various industrial applications.
