In the rapidly developing digital era, the software and information technology service industry has entered a critical period of integrated innovation and rapid iteration. And the software industry is also redefining services, and catalyzed by a number of factors to bring about social fields, multi-dimensional, deep changes.

Among them, industrial design software is the data source for digital production and the key support for intelligent manufacturing, which is of great importance. In recent years, under the guidance and drive of national policies, there have been a number of influential software enterprises in China, which have sustained and rapid development and growth in the process of industrial digital transformation. Guangzhou Zhongwang Longteng Software Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhongwang Software”) released Zhongwang CAD 2024 based on independent core platform technology on May 30, and its R & D person in charge said that through core technology upgrade and algorithm optimization, the overall performance of the version is more than the previous version. Most of the operating efficiency far exceeds that of similar products to reach the industry-leading level.

Talk about development

Industrial software has more technological innovations and breakthroughs

At present, China has the most complete industrial system, industrial capacity and export scale have been in the world’s leading position, data show that China’s manufacturing value added accounts for more than 28% of the global share. However, the digital transformation and high-quality development of China’s industry require more technological innovation and breakthroughs in industrial design software. Unfortunately, industrial software fields such as CAD, CAE and EDA are still facing the dilemma of “core technology subject to others”.

Industrial digitalization and manufacturing intelligence are the transformation and innovation of production methods and business models, involving the integration of hardware, software, network, computing and other software technologies and manufacturing technologies, and industrial software is a very critical part of it. The information construction of enterprises in research and development design, production control, assembly testing, after-sales operation and maintenance, remote service and other links is also inseparable from the support of industrial software.

It can be said that in order for Chinese industrial enterprises to truly enter the world, they must make up the key shortcomings of industrial software, especially the industrial design software represented by CAD and CAE should be truly autonomous and controllable, and accelerate the innovation and breakthrough of more key technologies. It is understood that after more than 20 years of common development with Chinese industry, Zhongwang CAD has realized the full autonomy of key core technologies, the efficient intelligence of conventional drawing functions, and the rich diversification of industrial applications, and is in the stage of catching up with foreign software. In fact, in the development of industrial software, difficulties contain opportunities. The development of China’s software industry has been more than 40 years of history, but the domestic market share has not increased, from the mid-1990s 25% share reduced to about 5%, CAD, CAE, EDA and other fields despite breakthroughs and development, but the technical level compared with the international giants there is still a big gap. In other words, domestic software has no obvious advantages in terms of technology and scale.

Some experts said that this is not only the dilemma that China’s industrial software has been facing in the past decades, but also the development opportunity of China’s software in the following decades. At the current stage, the state vigorously promotes China’s transformation from the world’s industrial power to the world’s industrial power, the pace of industrial transformation and upgrading is difficult to stop, in this process from large to strong will produce and add a lot of demand for R & D and design industrial software. However, it is difficult for international software companies to highly fit China’s complex and refined scenario business, which also gives domestic software companies a good opportunity to grow and rise. By rooted in the subdivision of the industry, China’s software enterprises or will usher in rapid development, and at present, Zhongwang software has taken the lead in the two-dimensional CAD field to achieve some ahead of the international software giants of the technical achievements.

Wang Jianwei, deputy director of the Information Technology Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said in public that it will strive to break through industrial software such as CAD and CAE, promote the integration, adaptation and optimization of operating systems and chips, databases, middleware and various application software, and guide enterprises to improve their product development capabilities. Encourage key enterprises in key areas to try and use first, and enhance the supply capacity of medium and high-end software. Earlier, industrial software was included for the first time in the “14th Five-Year” national key research and development Plan. It can be seen that vigorously developing industrial software and realizing the autonomy of key core technologies has become a top-down “national movement”.
