Accelerate the independent research and development of industrial software

At present, China still has some shortcomings in the field of intelligent manufacturing, and needs to break through the challenge of “stuck neck” in hardware and software. How to speed up the independent research and development of industrial software and realize the localization of core industrial software is a focus in the development of intelligent manufacturing.

Industrial software is the brain and nerve of industrial manufacturing, including R & D design, business management, production scheduling, process control and operation and maintenance related software and systems, is the application of computer technology in the industrial field and engineering field. Data show that in 2019, China’s industrial software products achieved revenue of 172 billion yuan, and further growth in 2020, reaching 1974 billion yuan, an increase of 11.2%.

When referring to improving the independent innovation ability of high-quality enterprises, the “Opinions” pointed out that it should “promote the development of industrial digitalization, vigorously promote the promotion and application of autonomous controllable industrial software, and improve the level of enterprise software.” According to Li Keming, deputy general manager of Shenyang Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., LTD., in recent years, a number of software companies and colleges and universities have begun to create domestic commercial industrial simulation software, which is gradually showing the trend of industrial agglomeration, and some representative enterprises and products have emerged, but industrial simulation software independent research and development enterprises are still very weak in terms of scale and market share.

Li Keming suggested that we can try to give tax incentives to software development enterprises, encourage the first batch of software developed by software enterprises to be tried by industry enterprises, and also try to establish a domestic simulation software cooperation platform led by application enterprises, adopt market-oriented operation, and the competent authorities give policy and financial support to absorb a group of independent research and development industrial simulation software enterprises to join the platform. We will accelerate industrial application.

School-enterprise interaction promotes the transformation of scientific and technological achievements

Promoting the deep integration of scientific research and industry is also the key to enhancing the innovation ability of manufacturing. In this regard, the “Opinions” proposed to promote the opening of major national scientific research infrastructure and large-scale scientific research instruments to high-quality enterprises.

At the Research Center for Water Resource Utilization and Water Environmental Security at the Graduate School of Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen), expensive equipment can be shared to provide services to enterprises. “The imported equipment for the rapid detection of heavy metal content in wastewater configured in the school laboratory has the lowest price of 700,000 or 800,000 yuan, and the cost of each startup is about 2,000 yuan.” If small and medium-sized enterprises in order to do one or two sample tests, it is obviously not necessary to add such additional equipment and configure full-time experimental personnel. But for the school, the lab will test batches of samples every day, and the cost of a few samples from a company is very low.” According to Wang Hongjie, a researcher at the research center, the sharing of scientific research instruments and equipment in schools reduces unnecessary cost inputs for enterprises and helps enterprises innovate and develop.

Such school-enterprise interaction is supported by policy. Every year, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Finance will evaluate and evaluate the open sharing of major scientific research infrastructure and large scientific research instruments in institutions of higher learning and research institutes at the central level. The evaluation and assessment content includes “shared service effectiveness”, that is, the provision of shared services around major scientific and technological innovation and the needs of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. Units with better evaluation results shall be supported with subsidies after they are passed; For the units with poor evaluation results, they will be publicly notified and the relevant funds will be reduced according to the specific circumstances. The corresponding policies have greatly encouraged universities and research institutes, and the better and more efficient interaction between schools and enterprises will further promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements.
